[Check-In] Your Enthusiasm is Appreciated

[It isn't too long into the Jaunt before Ryo's excited voice comes through on the network.]

BEST JAUNT EVER!

[And Hajime's far more exhausted mental voice comes in afterwards.]

This is Hajime, we, ah, did that thing where we're both infiltrating and not infiltrating, and there's some kind of space base out here with a lot of aliens bent on conquering Earth to take care of some bioweapon? I just...don't really know what's going on beyond that.

[Ryo cuts in again.]

And we're mantises! Mantis people are normal here! Not many of them, but enough to be normal! IS AMAZING!

Top secret, or unsanctioned. Extremist groups are also hardly unheard of.

An artificially modified virus certainly seems more likely than one that can infect such a wide variety of species with such different biology.

Jesus. What a fucking mess this is.





... huh. Wonder if Dr Eskandar knows--or knew--anything about that shit. It might be why she disappeared.

It's certainly possible. Coming across evidence of an attack would be a good reason for someone to disappear, willingly or otherwise.

You're an engineer here, aren't you? How much clearance do you have?

Not as much as goddamn Takumi Katsuragi.




I've got a fair amount, though, as long as it's got nothing to do with the Philia Core. Do you want me to look into that shit? I can't promise you anything conclusive.

Don't worry, I know full well just how inconclusive this sort of research can be. But if you're willing, it would at least be a starting point.

Sure. I'll get back to you if I find anything. Though, uh, I might be a little busy with the Phileon, so I'm not gonna give you an ETA for that. I hope it's okay.
