Dialog

Introduction:

I sent a scout team to the Spaceport a while ago. Routine work — cataloging security, see if there's anything we could re-purpose. But I've heard nothing for two days.

Upon Acceptance:

They were using the terminals there to relay logs back to me - I need you to retrace their steps.

Idle:

The scout team's trail starts at one of the depots east of the Spaceport. Pull their logs, send them my way, and I'll work out whatever you find.

Upon Entering Raid:

Hey - hold on... there. This is Shani. The scout team's last confirmed position was one of the Field Depots east of the Spaceport. Find those logs, and send them my way - we'll piece together where they went.

Upon Resending First Log:

Got it. Give me a second... alright. The log's fragmented, but I can piece together enough. They moved west from here, toward a small watchtower near the Maintenance Hanger, south of the Spaceport. Looks like they were documenting the perimeter access points along the way.

Upon Resending Second Log:

This doesn't add up. According to this log, the team regrouped at a rally point outside the Spaceport perimeter. But they weren't supposed to leave the ground — that wasn't the mission. And the gear list... that's way more than a scouting run calls for. Tools, rations, personal effects. Looks like they packed for a long trip.

Upon Transmitting Signal:

Coordinates received. I'm looking at the area now and... yeah. That's well outside the survey zone. Whatever they were doing, it wasn't for me. See what they left behind. Bags, pockets, anything with writing on it. People who run don't always clean up after themselves.

Upon Completion:

This is bad. The note outlines a deal. Names I recognise — people from the Ferrovia contrada. The scouts were feeding them patrol schedules, tube access codes; everything someone would need to undermine Celeste's authority
