Not sure. Maybe she’d be willing to open up about it when there’s time.
*Crosses my arms*
So this thing sent out a signal because it never received one, right? Those logs point to any coordinates of where past transmissions were dropped from?

@Audacious

I think these logs are from other relays it's talked to. But it didn't get anything from the middle ring. If we can get to one of them, we could find another relay.

Oh. Well that’s out the window. She clearly wanted nothing more to do with this than what she did for us already. Rightfully so, I should add.

@Audacious

Yeah, you're right. I wonder why.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Who?

@Audacious

Artemis. It's just a cute little nickname I came up with.

*Frowns and furrows my brow*
Nothing in the realm of like, controls of any sort though?

@Audacious

Nope, nothing like that. There are some signals it's received in the past, but they're redacted. Maybe Arthree's tracker could pick it up?

*Leaps back over to you*
What’s it look like?

@Audacious

*Scrolls through technical logs that have a few arcane technical errors, but generally hint at being unable to connect to test instances of layer 1, and the interface also displays a large red circle with the text "DMS ACTIVE"*
It looks like this thing is mostly working? Maybe?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Hm.
*Yells*
How’s it going over there?

@Audacious

I don't know what half this stuff means. Wait, scratch that. Any of it. And the stuff I do know is just what he said on the video.

*Checks if the computer has any mechanism of interfacing with it*

@Audacious

*It has a few small ports on it that seem to be electrically destroyed and a wireless transmitter communicating with my phone*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Follows the wiring system to a focal point opposite the power source, trying to find the point where it broadcasts as best I can, taking massive leaps along the way*

@Audacious

*The power source seems to be connected to a small computer cluster that uses the antenna configuration to transmit and receive*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

You look at that. Imma do another feel around to see if there’s anything else.
*Kneels and places all of my fingertips against the dust beneath me, sweeping the rock for any more hollow space, or out of place material*

@Audacious

*Starts scrolling with a semi-puzzled expression, and the asteroid itself seems to be wired primarily as a large antenna connected to a meager power source*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Pats your shoulder, smiling*
There you go!
*Turns around and steps into the hole I dug, looking around*
Any other equipment here that might be helpful?

@Audacious

I'm—I found an option buried in the settings. It lets us look at logs. I don't know if there's any equipment in this rock that might help us though.
