《Aegis》Chapter 55: Five Crows

Advertisement

Not wanting to intrude on Mu'randa again, you scribble a note onto a scrap of paper, instructing her to check in with the Tau and offer to help finding their missing Investigation team now that the colonists are less likely to start shooting things. She nods her acceptance, but never stops with the cooling words she is pouring into her microbead.

For your part, you head for your cabin. The data probably won't be available for some time, and you will need a clear head to think, so a nap is in order.

Three hours later, you return to the bridge. Simo is at the Holotable with the scans of the site of the former Warp Shrine, now a small lake of craters, and the Tau's positional data. as you expected, the Tau team vanished in uncomfortably close proximity to the Shrine's location.

A hovering datafile contains the hastily edited rosters of the Tau personnel, though you don't bother to do more than glace through it. Mu'randa will make better headway with figuring out what useful information may exist about the missing Tau. Assuming that they aren't dead at this point.

The only thing left to do is head down there and see if you can pick up a trail. Elena and Adam are must-brings, for their skill at arms and, in Adam's case, experience fighting warp-touched foes. The Tau will be sending a few warriors as well as a translator / Facilitator, to make sure that their Team comes back safely. You scratch your slowly-growing beard in thought. Mu'randa would be quite useful as a diplomat, and Yasha is the only person who is capable enough psyker to alert the rest of the part to warp-taint. Kudo has a better skill set for doing so, but he is ancient and hunchbacked as well as blind.
