`You land next to the forest again and venture into it once more. The trail fresh in your memory, you two reach the clearing quickly, where Sedlitaris puts the pylon close to where it was before being dug out. "Almost like if we were there with them, this should be, being right where they left the pylon. Hopefully a better understanding of what they were thinking, it will also provide."`

` She starts the recording, and sharp, static beeps are the first thing you hear. After a moment, you can make out agitated voices, as if the crew was discussing something, but Sedlitaris' translator doesn't pick it up. Finally, the familiar voice of Mimodum comes out, "Destroyed, the rest of the fleet was. Made it back to the system, one of the Punishers that headed north must have; ran into some debris pieces floating about in the system, we did. Take off, the rest of those on Summit couldn't. The ground is..." the static returns, this time including some scratch-like stops. "... cut like clay... rock... molten..." It switches to static once again, then stops for a moment. When it's back, the interference noises are gone. "Meet with the split group, I must. Warn them of what happened, and head back home with them, I will."`

` You two look at the pylon in silence for a while, then she slowly approaches the machine to pick it up, saying, "Supposed to head back home immediately, expedition ships were, if destroyed, one of the Punishers was. If followed those orders, he had... No guarantee of the split group's survival, he had. If back home, they went..."`

` The Wanderer shudders slightly, almost like it had hoped you wouldn't ask that. "Well... Yes, it is low. The rest of the Kor Efreti's payment was used to [purchase, acquire] the supplies, and it seemed they could not afford to pay much more than they already had. Given their situation, we found it [reasonable, justifiable] to accept the lower payment, as the cargo is a [collection, menagerie] of equipment to help with the cooling climate on <planet>, and without it the Kor Efreti might...

` The ship before you has some faint traces of the Puffin you have flown to Nenia, along with other elements of Remnant design, but it is clearly something new. Its antennae swivel around, as if taking in its environment, and the tentacles along the side twitch and reach out to touch its surroundings. Solidly built tendrils underneath it flex as it lifts itself off its supports and begins to move around. You have a momentary vision of what this ship might look like in the skies of Nenia.`

` Taely's droning chant of technical details finally seeps through your reverie: "... So from a captain's point of view flying the Penguin should be very similar to a normal ship, except she flies herself and doesn't need a crew to run her systems." She pauses, and looks at you. "Your curiosity provided the final ingredients to bring her to life. You should be the first to have one." She pats the nose of the Penguin and it makes a whooshing noise. "I call her the 'Shadow Hope,' but you can rename her whatever you like." After a moment she starts going over the ship with a scanner, leaving you to contemplate in silence.`

` "Not really, although it does contribute to it. Most of the red glow seems to be the result of clouds of hydrogen gases at approximately 2710 degrees, rather like the process documented by early Earth astronomers investigating nebulae. Except for most of these clouds, there is no obvious source of energy to keep the hydrogen excited. Obviously there is still energy being added to the system, but..." She trails off and gestures deprecatingly. "One more mystery to keep us alert and attentive."`

` She smiles thoughtfully, and the display changes with the red haze vanishing and a silvery haze replacing it. "But that is where today's research comes in. We have been measuring these storms since we arrived in the Ember Waste. The human eye can only pick out a few of them on the display, but our algorithms have identified a significant number of ripples of energy." She appears thoughtful.`

` "It is almost like watching the surface of a pond during a rainstorm: The surface appears to be chaotic, but with detailed enough instrumentation, one can pick out individual ripples and trace their paths backwards... Except we have yet to find an actual source for any of them. We can trace every ripple on a pond in a storm and find its origin, but we have yet to learn the dance that we have lived in for half a millennia."`

` Dusk smiles and signs apologetically. "My apologies for being overly detailed. I found the study of our ancestors to be an intriguing one, so I have spent much time searching out my families' history. That, in turn, has led to a detailed interest in the early years of our society." Dusk gestures towards the holographic projection of Ssil Vida. "But enough of history, the present calls to us."`

` Dusk leans over the holo, peering at the details. "The mission is a very standard arc: we go to the station, set up our equipment to get some detailed readings, and return here once we are done. For these initial readings we should need about a day onsite, and we will leave some of our equipment to take ongoing recordings for retrieval later. After that... Well, we will see what the data says and decide from there."`

` "Historically, we have relied on Starlings to fill multiple light combat roles here in the Ember Waste. Reconnaissance, sentry duty, escort, picket, patrol... They have filled so many roles." She pauses, glancing at a departing Starling. "Of course, we could just make more Starlings, but our pool of specialized crew is not infinite either. The solution I have is these Mergansers. They are sufficiently advanced that they only require a single person to operate and have significant range, enough to patrol large portions of the Ember Waste. This makes them ideal for escorting Gulls on resource gathering expeditions, patrolling for incursions, and other uses. Perhaps most importantly, though, is that they are fast enough to chase down anything we have encountered out here so far."`

` She frowns a bit at that. "Unfortunately, the weapons program is not moving as quickly as I would like, so the Merganser does not have the tackling ability that I was originally envisioning for it. But at least it is an adept hunter we can use to pursue our enemies."`
