Vreta was much closer to Chitnarit than most of the others, so he was able to move himself directly between her and Gazes. He may not have been a supersoldier like Rareth or Void company, but he was still enhanced enough to allow him to present himself as an effective barrier. He did not try to be directly threatening, but he did make it clear that he was not moving. “We have received information that one of these objects, these ‘crew’ members, may be located on Psi-Helios. As life-seeders, these objects are likely to be found in inhabited places. The Navigator itself was found buried deep within Rothia’s crust. Our objective is to find this object and recover it, preferably without complications.”

Roughly in the center of where everyone was gathered, Vreta brought up a hologram of Rothia, with the location that the Navigator had been found highlighted. Alongside it was also a hologram of Psi-Helios. “Locating the Navigator required weeks of deep scans. It was giving few traces of its presence, hence why we had not discovered it previously until we knew to look for it, specifically. We are hoping we are now in a better position to locate this Object more quickly.” Vreta gestured to the spectrogram of a signal detected from the Navigator. “If this new object is anything like the Navigator, any EM signature it has will fade easily into the background, but now we know what to look for. The Navigator’s signals are similar to those of the Cradle. This Object’s may not be identical, but if it is close enough, then this ship’s sensors should be able to detect it on a detailed surface scan. We are equipped with some of our best sensors and stealth capabilities. All goes well, and we’ll be able to secure our target without any major disruptions to Psi-Helios.”
