Re: The Game: Chapter 02
In reply to Flux (msg # 3):
"Mastodon is fully operational once more," Captain Blaise says in a clipped tone. "The S.A.G.E. eyebots represented an unknown technology, which disabled our communications as well as most of our weapons over time. Still, we succeeded in our primary objective: drawing attention away from all of you."
He clears his throat.
"We are beginning our journey back to Earth, which as you all know is a three-month process. Plenty of time for us to analyze the data you've collected, decrypt it, and see whether the smoking gun we were looking for is present in the numbers. It seems you've collected some experimental technology that's worth reverse engineering as well. Feel free to use the Mastodon's Science Bay for the purpose. My techs would be eager to assist you."
"Of course, everything learned will be shared using the customary protocols of inclusion," he says with a curt nod toward Flux. "Now then, is there anything else unusual or interesting to report concerning the happenings in the S.A.G.E station? Otherwise, you've all earned a hot meal, a long shower, and some time in your bunk."
