SILPHY SETS A TRAP An unregistered Orca sits cloaked at a deep safe in the Outer Ring system of W-Z3HW. On the command bridge, Silphy en Diabel runs her fingers through her tousled hair, frowning pensively. “I just don’t get it!” she barks. “Captain are you sure that clown Ruukin is keeping his bloodhounds in their kennels?” Captain Asha va Tamil rises from her chair and respectfully dips her head. "Governess, our agents throughout both ORE and Serpentis space continue to monitor State Peacekeepers’ covert ops and chatter. Either they have become much stealthier, or they are not actively searching obvious areas. Silphy nods. “Salvador confirms that in Fountain, and if anything moves there he knows about it.” “There’s something else, ma’am,” says Chief Engineer Silas Dubois. “Those gates into Jita that had the little accident. Still not fixed. State has put out a pile of bat guano about radiation preventing even drones from repairing them, but there’s no way that’s possible. They could have started work within 48 hours after they went kablammo.” “You should know, Sparks,” replies Silphy with a rare smile. “Veda, any luck hacking State military databases?” The young cyberneticist stands and bows. “Esteemed Governess, Engineer Dubois has graciously assigned his former ORE specialists to my team and they are working well together. In addition to standard Intaki counter-espionage techniques we are employing an agentic approach using the BoogleMined ORE protocol.” “And what, Lieutenant en Shara have you gleaned?” says Silphy impatiently. Blushing slightly, Veda en Shara composes herself. “My apologies, Governess, our investigation supports what you and Captain va Tamil have already determined. General Ruukin’s only actions have been restricted to vile propaganda concerning your liberation. He claims he will track you down and bring you to so-called Caldari justice, but we have found nothing in State strategic computers or comms that indicates any ships have been assigned to such a mission.” “May his ancestors fail to recognize him,” spits Silphy with venom. “A dog would fall into our trap, but apparently the General is a sniveling mouse.” Silphy returns to running her fingers through her hair, then notices Veda en Shara is still standing. “Something else, Veda?” “I… we’re not sure, but…” “Veda, I appreciate you value facts above speculation, as do I. But given the current situation I will take all the speculation I can get!” “Yes, of course, esteemed Governess. It’s the BoogleMined agents. They provided information for which they were not programmed to search. They have compiled evidence that we are living in… a simulation.” ---
