2:42
All these years and I still can't get my
2:44
head around what Augustine did.
2:46
Sacrificing our whole team. And for
2:48
what? What did our blood pay for?
3:08
Thought you were Val. Glad to see you up
3:10
in amling about and not uh human stew.
3:28
You know, when I first learned some of
3:30
the escape pods made it away from the
3:31
station, I'd hoped. I mean, I did search
3:36
for you, Commander, just as soon as I
3:52
be you're giving me more grace than I
3:56
either way, thank you. So then, I gather
4:00
vows described our state of affairs.
4:02
Confirmed. The commander has received a
4:05
full briefing on the following topics.
4:07
The invasion of Arcadia, the rift, and
4:10
Agent Dere's survival. Dere
4:14
would have been better if she joined the
4:15
dead. I figured she'd done just that
4:18
until I got the alert that she brought
4:19
down the Earth Directorate satellite. If
4:21
she's of a mind, too. She could use the
4:24
information on that thing to destabilize
4:25
the rift and destroy Arcadia.
4:28
She was one of us, Commander. It's our
4:31
responsibility to stop her.
4:40
Figured a little risk wouldn't put you
4:42
off. She's going to ground now, but as
4:44
part of her original undercover mission,
4:46
Deere was inserted at the Vox relay
4:48
station on Paradise Island. She then
4:50
followed protocol, established a safe
4:51
room there. Wager that's where we'll
4:53
find clues as to her present plans and
5:17
Remind me again how long those side
5:19
effects from hibernation are supposed to
5:21
Hibernation can result in fatigue,
5:24
imbalance, memory loss, and in extreme
5:27
cases, death. All side effects should
5:30
subside within a 24 to 48 hour period.
5:34
Death may last longer.
5:36
Nothing to ring hands about then,
5:38
probably. Just to be clear, I'm not
5:40
saying we strolling up to the Vox
5:41
station and knock nicely. The Vox is
5:44
highly restricted and heavily defended.
5:46
It'd be a death sentence. We might ought
5:49
to explore the island first, find out
5:50
what we can. The satellite alert pinged
5:53
Dere's tracker in a town name of
5:54
Fairfield. wasn't nowhere clear as
5:57
yours. So, we need to poke around a bit.
5:59
Doubt she's there now, but it seems a
6:01
better place to start than assaulting a
6:02
protector at communications hub.
