Has Liv run into any danger?

You've been sending a message every 20 seconds. If something's wrong, you'll be the first to know.

I... I'm just worried.

Asimov's research suggests that occasional distractions can increase your mission efficiency by 15%.

Distraction? I want to be more focused!

The building at our 3 o'clock... Its design belongs to a different era of industrial design than the other buildings. I've analyzed the plans of the Golden Vortex, and they have quite a few similarities.

Understood. And the ejector of its light beam consists of a blinds structure that I'd seen when I was stationed at the Jakarta base.

That light beam is actually a stream of endless golden sand. I've calculated the wattage the Golden Vortex is using to eject that amount of sand with my visual capture system.

(Looks at the calculation) ...That high?!

I believe the data. Plus, the sand at the center of that stream can't even be captured by the visual system... I believe the actual value will be even higher.

Who built it? What is it for?

Commandant, I'm afraid that this mission is not that straightforward...

Lucia?

...

It's been 20 seconds. Let's check in with Liv's progress.
