I've received the data you were able to salvage.[ST:wait ] |

|
qev097703_MSG0002 |
Seems it wasn't just library data—it looks like an[ST:n ]automatic communication log of some sort.[ST:wait ] |

The time stamp places it just before the White Whale[ST:n ]crashed, and the sender is a different ark ship sent up[ST:n ]from another country.[ST:wait ] |

|
qev097703_MSG0004 |
Needless to say, the Whale's crew had their hands full[ST:n ]at the time, so they were too busy to trace the other[ST:n ]ship's course.[ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
qev097703_MSG0005 |
Or even to analyze the message's contents, frankly.[ST:wait ] |
| 6 |
|
qev097703_MSG0006 |
But doing that now may bring to light all kinds of[ST:n ]important new info.[ST:wait ] |
| 7 |
|
qev097703_MSG0007 |
Which means finding this data was a big deal.[ST:n ]Great work, tiger![ST:wait ] |
| 8 |
|
qev097703_MSG0008 |
...Unless it turns out the data is actually useless,[ST:n ]in which case this was a waste of everyone's time.[ST:wait ] |

qev097703_MSG0009 |
BUT! None of that changes the fact that your job is to[ST:n ]grab the core memory module and bring it home safe.[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
qev097703_MSG0010 |
Don't leave a single byte behind, honey![ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
qev097703_MSG0011 |
Nice work out there![ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
qev097703_MSG0012 |
I'll take that memory module off your hands...[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
qev097703_MSG0013 |
Perfect. Thanks.[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev097703_MSG0014 |
Oh, and Commander Vandham was reeeally interested[ST:n ]in that data sample you sent on ahead...[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
qev097703_MSG0015 |
He's been super impatient for you to get back with the[ST:n ]rest of it.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
qev097703_MSG0016 |
Seems he's ready to call this a historic find even before[ST:n ]the analysis comes back on the contents.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
qev097703_MSG0017 |
You unearthed a real treasure this time.[ST:n ]Well, according to him, anyway.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
qev097703_MSG0018 |
Oh, but don't bother asking for a bonus.[ST:n ]Won't happen.[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
qev097703_MSG0019 |
BLADE contracts are extremely strict, you know.[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
qev097703_MSG0020 |
But it's for the good of the city, I suppose—[ST:n ]and for us BLADEs by extension.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
qev097703_MSG0021 |
Makes it harder to complain when you think of it like[ST:n ]that, hmm? Still possible, mind...but harder.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
qev097703_MSG0022 |
Still, no sense wasting time and social capital whining[ST:n ]about the little things.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev097703_MSG0023 |
Not when there's big jobs with fat rewards waiting to[ST:n ]get done![ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev097703_MSG0024 |
There's something about risking it all for that high-[ST:n ]stakes payoff that just gets the blood pumping,[ST:n ]you know? Adventure makes me hot and bothered![ST:wait ] |
