“I suspected as much.” EoN sniffs in reply. “But these results are just the basics. Further analysis will likely reveal they have a similar function too.”
“Ha, even I can tell that just by looking at them.” Cleo snarls. “You got anything more solid for the ******.” She chuffs in amusement, gesturing at your Comms officer, who is looking over with interest despite herself.
You think that last word was something in a local dialect. It sounded vaguely insulting. Your Science officer doesn’t react, however, continuing to stare at the results as they roll in. You hope that whatever she might glean from the information is worth the risk you’re taking, that it might lead a step closer to unravelling the mysteries at the heart of your voidship. Any positive results at all would be welcome and you hope they might work wonders in convincing your other crew members to jump onboard with your efforts.
