"Launching probe," came the response from Muninn. A few seconds later the sensors indicated that the probe had successfully launched and then subsequently made landfall.
"Probe successfully deployed."

"Shouldn't be too hard, I would think. Just find the nearest dock hand and ask them where we can find a drink," Will stated, looking around and then heading back towards the docks.

"I've scanned for every sort of radio frequency I know. I've scanned across using passive and active visual scans, ultraviolet shows nothing as well. No sort of radiation other than background levels. No neutrino emissions or significant heat gradients indicating nuclear power or any sort of active ...

The game of cat and mouse continued on for over a day before Muninn successfully lost the other ship in the void. The crew knew it was still out there but for the moment they were safe. It, of course, raised a whole lot of questions as to who was on the other ship and why they were there. How they h...

Don saw the interior of the room he was looking into as if he was standing inside it himself. The fisheye effect was a bit disorienting, but it was clearly a peephole into the room from the outside. Nobody was in the room but it was clearly an office of some type. The fact that the peepholes had cov...

The other ship continued on its course through the void of space as βEli continued to analyze the passive readings of the probe, watching for changes. Waiting. It took hours in real time, though it felt much longer at the processing speeds βEli was operating at even having cycled down to minimize po...

Finding the way to the Docks was easy enough. One just had to follow the smell of the sea mixed with dead fish and sulfur to find your way to the docks. The closer you got, the stronger the odor became. The group made their way to the waterfront area, their journey becoming increasingly busy and noi...

"Acknowledged," was the only reply. A second later the announcement came through to everyone's muses. "Attention. Emergency deceleration commencing in 3... 2... 1..." The ship shuddered as maneuvering thrusters engaged, trying to slow down the massive ship in far less time or distance than it should...

"Both sound like a good place to start. I'm of the opinion that we check out the dockside first. That's supposedly where Hardwick's is, and sailors are sailors. If there's anywhere you're likely to find a drink other than what passes for water around here it's going to be there. Kill two birds. But ...

The group moved into the herd of people advancing towards the main gate of the city. Mostly it was traders and merchants, loyalists to the church, people who had legit businesses in the City of Lost Angels. They, of course, were no such thing, but that was, at least, a problem they could handle. Wil...

"I do not believe that any probe currently available would be sufficient to mimic a ship of this size. I was originally tasked as a specialized storage vessel, not a stealth or combat ship. I apologize but I am simply not equipped for this sort of operation or engagement. That is why I have engaged ...

"To better account for that type of deception, I believe it would be optimal to fire the two probes in opposite directions. However this would have the effect of potentially wasting a probe that we may not be able to retrieve later. It is a gambit, of course. "Tyr is another onboard AI, but he is no...

"We have six probes ready for launch. We have the capability of making more given time and resources, as we do have the fabrication facilities to do so. However, given the current perceived time constraints that is not a viable short term option."

"That is something I can do, however it does increase the chance of them figuring out we are aware of them by a large percentage. Hence my inaction to this point and consultation with you. I am unable to see a path that does not result in us either ignoring them and seeing what transpires, or taking...

"Unfortunately both of those options are unknowns at this point. Without more concrete data on their capabilities I cannot give an accurate assessment of our chances against them."

The forward screen in the room flickered as the image on it changed to split between several graphs and charts showing various astrogational data, sensor data and other assorted information, most of which was meaningless to someone without the background in reading it. In one quarter of the screen t...

William's eyes widened at the notion. "Distill this? That may have worked in the other world we just came from where they had all that fancy tech and chemicals and such. But this? I-I don't know." That was something of a lie. Or at least a half-truth. The voices whispering in the back of his head co...

Eve could feel the water(or at least what felt something like water) under her feet and pulled it towards her, up through the soil and the ground. The result was... not pleasant. While there was definitely water content in the muck that rose from the earth, the stench immediately told her that it wa...

The man gave Don a look of 'like I give a fuck?' and a shrug.
"Knock yerself out, next!"

"Yeah, I say. We're out of clean water. You got rocks in your ears or you just slow? We aint got water, cause we sold out. We can only get so much water a day and we sold out, so unless you got other business?"

William shot a glance at Don. "I'm from the North-east and that was the worst Texas accent I've ever heard. Lucky the Rangers aren't around here anymore, they'd probably hang you just for the insult. Of course if they knew what we'd seen and done these last few months they'd probably hang us regardl...

Several weeks had passed that were fairly uneventful since the big meeting. Muninn had arrived at the edge of the asteroid belt and travel had slowed to a crawl as the search for their specific target began. al-Bahth was on the bridge going through the navigation screens trying to narrow down the lo...

"I think it would probably be better if we figure out where we can all hole up once we're in city proper. That way we can meet up later and have some idea of where we're all going. We separate now and we'll never find each other."

William was startled when he heard Eve's voice. He stopped looking to the skies and peered over his shoulder, his hand dropping for a gun that wasn't there. "Damn, Eve, you spooked me. Take it everything went okay?" He saw the look in her eyes when she started talking about the people around them. H...
