Re: Epsilon Leonis Sector Space Thread
Diana's encrypted response to Ariana includes a small re-cap of what the cyborg's research had yielded: "There have been sixteen separate potential clues to the location of Triptych Research Station over the past few years. Nine of those led to trails that ended at one of the various PDC memorial-planets throughout the sector. Six of the remaining leads stemmed from statements or notes left by Leonis Sanitation workers, all of whom eventually were declared insane, institutionalized, and wound up either committing suicide somehow or became dangerous enough to be "permanently sedated". The remaining lead is pointing towards a recent accident aboard a deep-space transmitter relay station, with current reports indicating that Leonis was contracted to clean up the damage. Best estimates would put clean-up as finishing before the Perseus could reach the site. Clean-up does not include any form of computer purges, though.
There's nothing indicating good search locations beyond that and the rumors that the planet it's on is suggested to be rather inhospitable, such as an ice, desert, or highly volcanic planet. Currently we're preparing to send a shuttle with a small team to check out the deep-space relay station, where I'll be downloading any available information from its computer memory."
With the message sent, Ariana checks the time. Two minutes to the briefing. She presses another button at the bridge console. "Number One, be sure that St. Olessa is in attendance at the briefing. He'll be accompanying the away team." Satisfied, she walks the short distance to her ready room, where the ship's leadership will be quickly discussing the upcoming mission as the shuttle is prepped for launch.
