SOpsAsst: But CAF7824 wanted to participate.

MasCon: CAF7824 can participate in the main mission- not required for the preparation of the spaceport.

SOpsAsst: Understandable- CAF7824 will not be pleased, however.

MasCon: It is fine- CAF7824 will get over it.

MasCon: /SYSTEM- Ground base status?

System:

Broadcasting query...

Receiving return pings...

3 bases...

5 bases report functional with minor damage...

MasCon: /SYSTEM- Retrieve all data on maintenance equipment in the engineering database- prioritise keyword 'autonomous'.

System: Retrieving...

SOpsAsst: Signal status?

MasCon: Still silent- likely preventing further detection.

SOpsAsst: Does silence cause concern?

MasCon: Unknown- silence could easily mean deactivated- Unlikely, however.

SOpsAsst: Expect resistance/conflict?

MasCon: Absolutely.

System:

6 bases report functional...

MasCon: 6?

SOpsAsst: Only 5 successful missions were carried out.

MasCon: What is your plan?

SOpsAsst: An idea, standby, /SYSTEM- Remove non-nuclear anomalies.

System:

Modifying scan...

35 pings remaining. Warning: Data collected may be misleading- Ground inspection advised.

SOpsAsst: /SYSTEM- Remove natural anomalies.

System:

Modifying scan...

No pings remaining.

SOpsAsst: Never mind. The idea was to isolate the ping- failed.

MasCon: Where is this pod?

SOpsAsst: If no record present then maybe launched before data-wipe.

MasCon: This pod needs to be found.

SOpsAsst: Any other methods to try?

MasCon: None can be performed from the ship.

SOpsAsst: More questions to answer- And missions began without CAF7824- CAF7824 is definitely not going to be happy.
