But if we can't visit any of those places, what are we supposed to do? Other than wait for another signal to come in?

@Legend

Even if we did wait, it seems like we wouldn’t be waiting that long. But, maybe he’s been here more recently? I don’t know if he’d necessarily destroy every station like that one.

It's just hard to say for sure without knowing how the system really works. For all we know, it could be a glitch somewhere.

@Legend

Maybe. But it's probably really likely that there's some significance to this place if it's getting more signals. Especially since the network has proven to be under attack, I think it's safer to assume it's no simple bug.

We know it's where, um—
*Glanced at you*
Bad man has signaled to the most.

@Legend

*Sighs*
You can say his name. The shock factor is long gone.
*Puts my hands on my hips while staring at the equipment*
But that must mean this is important in some way.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Nope, mostly the same as last one. Just more than before.

@Legend

*Taps my chin*
Hmm. Surely this means we’re on the right track then? This one is more central to the network, and not isolated at an end of the web.

Oooh, this one's got a bunch of errors. But it might be a bad idea to go chasing those.

@Legend

That's probably true... Is it all errors?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Ittttttt—
*Pulls up my phone and scrolls through the options again*
Looks like it, yeah!

@Legend

Anything stand out?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*This station appears entirely identical to the last one, down to the machined version number on the chips*

@Legend

Can you see the logs here the same way as before?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

So if you stop and ask yourself "What would Sven Waternaux do?" what's the answer?

@Legend

Ha. If it were so easy, right? I wish I knew the answer to that.
*Looks around this new facility’s equipment as we approach, looking for anything unique, and anything that might be designed to interact with*

*Walks alongside you*
Inefficient compared to what?

@Legend

Compared to like, if it was my Dad here instead of me. I feel like he’d have had a magical answer ages ago.

*This station seems to be sitting amidst the space debris and only anchored enough to protect itself from collisions, and seems entirely intact*
This is exactly what dad told us to do, right?

@Legend

As far as I could tell.
*Starts walking toward it*
I’m afraid we’re being really inefficient though, mainly.
