Radiation. Why does Klaus always mention the lest important thing while not mentioning the important stuff?
Masiter wasn't exactly fond of the way Klaus presented the whole thing. Once more he had to intervene to prevent a misunderstanding. He coughed.
The radiation had primarily been our gauge for determining the age of the object. Thanks to the splendid scanning and outright outstanding computing power of our equipment brought from Kusari we were able to analyse radioactive metals in relatively low quantities found at the sight. Readings indicated the level of radioactive decay thus allowing for a quite accurate estimation of its age.
One of the semi-sentient robots that were at the time used at Solarious approached their table; its incoming transmission sign blinking.
Herr Franz Maister? There is an inter-system transmission from New Berlin. Herr Bauer's the sender. Class C transmission.
Maister couldn't hide his surprise.
Bauer? What would he want?
Class C. That meant it wasn't even strictly private.
Patch it through on this table.
Heavy static so common for long range transmission erupted out of a hidden speaker somewhere around the table and the rather short recorded message was played. Bauer was as official as ever. They're going to get a few new members.
Katherine Pennybrooke? Has anone heard anything about her or her scientific team?
None of them knew who she was. A surprise of some sort then.
