[After a month of waiting and glitches, the ships who turned on the bugging devices may have begun to feel it was a waste of time. But patience truly is a virtue, and a couple days before the fleet leaves the Rew system, a message from that unknown frequency is sent:]

This is the Interceptor Fleet, Drift Fleet 12. We’ve received your message.

Atroma’s surely trying to crack this encryption, so we’ll keep it short. We’re not your enemy. Our enemy is Atroma.

We’ll be in contact again, but it might be awhile. We’re still making repairs from that last fight. Sam can tell you how fast some of our crew work. So for now, keep those devices off. Only turn them on if you got a message to send. We don’t want to give Atroma time to hack into this feed and it should stop the glitches you’ve been getting.

Bloodsport, we got your attachment. We got a few ideas of what it could mean, but we’ll have to get back to you on that.

Paisley, thanks for the emoticons. Some crew were delighted and have been using them non-stop. Some of us, less so.

You’ll hear from us again. I promise.

Keelah se'lai.


[The message ends. There are no further messages, and no replies.]

[ooc: This message is filtered to those who turned on the devices, but crews are strongly encouraged to spread the message to other ships! Also feel free to use this post as a reaction/mingle/whatever you'd like.

Characters can also send messages back! There will be more about this in the OOC comm in a couple days.]

That's not the point. [She sighs, but relents a little.]

Well, they didn't seem upset or anything.

Aha ha ha...

[Sorry, dear. He'll behave.]

No, more urgent than anything. If they're really trying to work with us now, then maybe that first attack was a mistake?

[Yeah, sure.]

It's too soon to say for sure, isn't it?

Definitely. As much as I'd like to believe it's all a misunderstanding, until we know more, we can't let down our guard. If they ask for help, I think we should to help them, but...

[Let's not go in blind.]

It'd depend on the situation at the time. [She looks at him.] Do us proud, first mate.

[Hrngh. The pressure's on. Even more than before... he didn't think that was possible!]

Y-yes ma'am...

[Her smile's a warm one, meant for comfort.]

Don't worry. We believe in you. [So does she.]
huaaaaagh: (it's also great in sandwiches)

[He pauses at that, glancing up at her, and offers a tentative smile back. She always manages to make him feel better; she's sort of magical like that.]

Thanks, Asuna. Now that we've got contact confirmed, though, we'll need to decide as a group where to take it from here. I don't want to invite another attack.
