>>5738478“Thanks, Mr. Lemo!” you declare appreciatively, getting your own personal slice ready after washing the jam taste from the Power Cronch down. Repeating the process shown prior, you have your own slice nice and ready. Definitely is basically cafeteria pizza, but hey, pizza’s pizza. Your uncle likewise appreciates the newfound meal, a smile on his face as he walks with you, Irico deciding to sit down by Lemo and have a snack break of his own. The two of you notice Bravyj and 19 talking some more, with him apparently giving her more texts for analysis. Rabaht meanwhile is talking with 16, listening as he shares a little bit of what Dr. Gero was capable of, the purple bat-dragon-bot nodding in understanding. Mom and Videl are with Eagalia, going over some of their respective skills.
Wandering a bit more, you see the spider-bot working on several terminals, each of his large eight limbs tapping away on different screens, each one displaying the same alien language you’d first seen when you arrived, alongside schematics of some kind. You guess he’s some sort of engineer? “Hey there!” you attempt to greet. He looks back at you curiously, but then turns towards his work once more. “…Not much a talker, got it.”
“At this present moment, I’m quite busy.” he replies, his voice strangely echo-y and odd. You notice one of the schematics resembling the shuttle you got the civilians out from. He turns back and notices you and Raditz haven’t left yet. While still working, and figuring you’re not going to leave without at least something more to go off of, he explains, “I am tracing multiple trajectories of escaped civilian, military, civil, labor, and other craft and their points of origin. Most that have survivors seem to follow a pattern. It will narrow down later rescue efforts.”
“What do you mean by ‘most that have survivors’ exactly?” your uncle asks.
“72.4% of cataloged craft, that being 181 of the known 250, were not as lucky as the ones you found.” he replies grimly.
“Oh…” You rub the back of your neck apologetically. “Sorry.”
“I have much work to do.” he responds neutrally, going back to the screens.
