intercepted Comms near MHC-R3 III
???: Massive energy spike in local system volume!
Millicent: Oh fu… okay.
Adam: Yeah… Its starting.
Millicent: Technically it started the moment she sent us out here to set beacons…
Adam: what are we looking at?
???: Major Mass Energy displacements over MHC-R3 II, III, and VI, Moderate Mass Energy displacements on surfaces of III and VI… ■■■■ did Glitter Tidebreak planetary infra?
???: Incoming transponders, definitely ours, running live… lot of disoriented people, but non-organics are compensating while they recover. Be advised, local spaciotemporal shifts are… significant.
Adam: Ash and Smoke… She’s insa-
???: More displacements! Bigger… Oh fu-
???: ■■■■ That’s Wellspring and Gingana… son of a… More spikes… they keep sending more through…
Millicent: gods… That’s the Alta secondary!
Adam: Also picking up Jenara’s signature, interplanetary space, seems it missed one of the beacons… We should get underway, reel it in…
???: What the hell kind of op did we get ourselves into…?
Adam: An Op planned by someone even more incomprehensible than the Director…
???: Why’s she not sending it all in one pop?
Millicent: If I had to guess? Saving the real juice for the Ring and Arcologies, sipping on the Coils to send the rest piecemeal until there’s actual reason to. Maybe a bit of PsychWar on the Birdies as well? Showing she and the boss have the luxury of taking their time?
Adam: ■■■■ if I know… let’s just… ugh this is giving me a migraine again.
