<Snipped quote by Legend>

Can we? All the data’s totally borked. We don’t know where any are going or coming from.

@Audacious

Right... and that's what I'm nervous about. Who's to say we're even going to catch the signal, especially if dark dad's on the case?

@Legend

Do you have an idea for a strategy shift?

I feel like my dad would make some robots or something to handle the searching for him.

@Legend

That sounds like it introduces a point of failure way too large for what he clearly wants out of this system.

If he was in our shoes, though?

May work? I'm not sure. You have robot schematics in that brain of yours?

Nope. How about you?

@Legend

Are you kidding me?… Isaac could have if he answered his phone.
*Stands in thought for a bit*
Do those errors not come with any codes or logs with details of any kind?

Here, wanna see?
*Tosses my phone to you, with strong aim*

Sure, I gue- Whey!
*Jerks my hands up to catch it and almost lets it slip through my hands, but catches it after grabbing at it again*

*Pouts*
Don't drop that! That was a good throw.

I didn’t know it was coming!
*Flips it around and looks at the screen*

*The log contains in-depth technical details, error codes, and redacted signals coming from other relay stations or path universes—only corrupted connections contain an associated location in the logs*

@Legend

Why do only these give locations? Wouldn’t it make more sense if he was trying to not betray where he’s been?

@Audacious

Who says he's being subtle about it?

@Legend

I feel like not being subtle makes it easy to counter whatever attack you’re doing, I dunno.

*Shrugs*
So what's your working theory?

@Legend

Ummm. I don’t know. But if we’re having a hard time getting there from where we are, I would really hope that he has been having a hard time too. Isn’t he like, the main person all this was designed to work against specifically?

@Audacious

*Nods*
But if the system is tanked, all bets are off. And I really don't like the idea that he's going to find our home if he's gotten lucky with the stations.

@Legend

With some of the stations targeted and destroyed, how could he find anything under these conditions? Nothing here gives working information at all, it’s not even that we’re struggling to see anything. It’s all garbage, and even a professional would struggle to find directions to a buried treasure from the dumpster.
*Turns to look at you*
This isn’t really helping solve anything, but I do think it’s a comforting thought to believe that might be a reason everyone is still okay.
