<zzzt> Uh on the screen it says “TRANSMISSION.GATEWAY.SECURED” [off-screen chatter] Oh! So I’m all good to go? [more off-screen chatter]<That is correct Herr Weatherly, simply speak into the recorder and your message shall be encrypted-in-transit><Please flag me down when you are finished and I shall prepare the final packet>
Thanks again~!

Okay; Hey Director McKenzie! James Weatherly here, Skywalker under our Starflier Research Group. The kind folks here at Tennstedt Base are letting me use their comms relay so nothing ‘untoward’ leaves the system without accounting for ‘listening ears and prying eyes’. Now I know this message doesn’t follow the standard Starflier Comms Encryption, but these are interesting times and call for interesting measures. That, and the CEV-Umbriel is currently docked and under quarantine. No messages in or out from that vessel as it’s not comms secured from what I’ve been informed.



Well anyway, back to me being here, and me checking up on you!

I was checking up on our comms archives and saw a note from the last expedition to Thuringia that the question of Gotha remained unanswered.

Since we had some vessels docked near Cologne, and I was in the area, I felt the initiative to complete the scans and get that final answer to said question.


You’ll be happy to hear the scans of Gotha and its ‘friend’ are complete. And if I can access it while in quarantine, I’d like to start the analysis within Umbreil’s Data banks.

However, it appears my presence spooked one of the partols taming the flow of “The Wilde” within this system.


After the coast was clear, the CEV-Umbriel was escorted back to Base Tennstedt.

There myself, the captain of the Eyes.In.The.Dark, Doctor Hope, and the escort squad all had a little chat aboard the CEV-Umbriel. Partly to confirm ‘The Wilde’ didn’t do any permanent damage or psychic infection, but mostly to confirm the work-order that was submitted to us, and the legitimacy of our presence in Thuringia.

I’ve complied with the requests and provided the captain ‘Civil Servant’ copies of both the work-order, and the initial expedition. Both attached to this message for your reference.



If you can talk with the original requestee, and clear up this miscommunication (and my release), it would be most appreciative.


Safe skies and godspeed,

James Weatherly
Starflier
