11-1 Night Voyage
>Asslam, Carriage 014
Sophia and I searched every carriage and every possible hiding place.
...Including the 64 ventilation pipes and 7 garbage disposal points. Nothing found.
...
...No signs or traces of Commandant.
Liv, did the radar pick anything up?
Cannot determine exact coordinates. Someone is interfering with Commandant's signals...
Lee is trying to locate and neutralize the source of the interference, but they're very good at hiding...
The signal is perfectly disguised. Whoever is doing it must be very familiar with how our radar positioning systems work.
Let's note that down first. Right now, our priority is to locate Commandant. Lee, how long do you need to decode the signal?
Ten minutes, or less.
...I'll go report to Jamilah.
As if following Sophia's words, two sets of footsteps sound from the distance.
Let us not disturb Amir, Sophia.
Amir has important matters to tend to.
The mechanic patrols told us what happened. It is Akdilek's fault for not taking better care of its guest aboard Asslam.
We will do all we can to help find your commandant.
By the way, may I inquire as to the whereabouts of Miss Bianca? Could it be possible that she and your commandant left on some urgent business?
Commandant would never leave us without notice. As for Bianca, she returned to Babylonia yesterday for another mission.
So Bianca's departure does not coincide with the time Commandant went missing.
...
...It wouldn't be those rebels, would it? That damn Ashlar's vanished as well.
The signals from Commandant's Mind Beacon is fading...
Calm your M.I.N.D., Liv.
All of you are registering a 4.275% M.I.N.D. deviation. Try to stabilize your emotion modules.
Lee...
Wait, do you smell something...?
Where did you last see [player name]?
Here.
Akdilek stores all kinds of spices for trade. You foreigners can't tell the smell apart, but I can... and I'm all too familiar with this scent.
...It's the smell of a knockout drug.
...Methoxyflurane and other chemical substances detected in the air.
Effective on humans but not on Constructs—a simple, yet cunning trick... Those psycho boaters are finally sticking their oars here, huh...
What do you mean, Changyu?
I'm afraid your Commandant got "bought", much like how I got sold to this place.
But how did those collared get off their ship...?
What are you talking about, Changyu?
...Interference cleared. Commandant located. The signal is moving toward the port of City 09.
I tried to pull up info about the city from the database, but I don't have the clearance. Only the names "Citong Port" and "Kowloong Chamber of Commerce" showed up.
...The KCC. I knew it was that ship.
Looks like you're in big trouble, Gray Raven.
