In practice, Sequel routinely will check up on noteworthy events as they take place around the universe. The cost to send a slip craft equipped with sensors and a few diplomats to collect information about events that occur and interview anyone involved is nominal. This function usually serves the purpose of widening the private Sequel database to aid in general knowledge of the goings on of the universe. The sensors run quite a few scans when they first arrive at their destination, one of them is designed to check for any signatures belonging to Evelyn. Never has one of these scans come back positive, as is to be expected, as to come back positive would require Evelyn to be massively irresponsible with her abilities. And yet, a scan has come back positive, from a planet where the initial cause of interest was a minor conflict between a local government and a disrespectful magnate. I am hugely curious as to what situation Evelyn would have to find herself in to be so careless.
‘Command, I’m sure you are aware of the positive scan, slip to location, now. Get me visuals on the origin of the signature, I want to see what happened. Also, I want to talk to whoever the owner of Affinity is. Regardless of what happened here, they need to learn some manners.’
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
We slipped halfway through my comm, initial recon returned all information for ships in the vicinity, including the ship belonging to the magnate. Upon further examination she appears to be the head of a large companion company by the name of Rossum. I am not surprised that someone at the head of such a business would behave so immaturely.
As expected, Affinity denies all requests for a meeting and even deploys an active scan countermeasure to keep us from analyzing them.
‘Pull them in, if they are oblivious for long enough, we’ll have them caught with no path of escape, try to minimize the effects on Airis.’
To my dismay, it doesn’t take them long to detect the gravitational effects directed at them and they slip before we are able to pin them down. Visuals of the origin point of the signature are coming in and it looks like Evelyn scorched the place. There are also very evident signs that Affinity just lifted off from the very same point. What to make of this I don’t know, but Evelyn getting bolder will make my job much easier.
