From the radar readings and Changyu's description, this should be the port Commandant's signals came from.
We can't get a more precise set of coordinates. Our radars are not only being interfered with, but Commandant's signal is being blocked and double-encrypted.
Asslam just took heavy damage and their combative capability is limited. Sophia and Changyu both expressed wishes to join in our rescue of Commandant, but it might not be appropriate.
Yes, we'll have to find Commandant by ourselves.
Changyu's suggestion is that we wait here for... that legendary "ship".
Let's do another ground search. We might have missed something. Commandant...
...I just lost the connection to Commandant.
Same here.
...Commandant.
Calm your M.I.N.D. The signal didn't die off suddenly, so Commandant must have disconnected it on purpose. No harm should have come to Commandant.
But what would make Commandant disconnect on us like that?
We'll have to trust Commandant.
After all, [player name] is not someone who gives up without a fight. Commandant must be trying to get back to us.
Bio signals detected on the sea's surface, and they're closing in!
...A lot of them!
...This ship.
And this architectural design...

The sounds seem to be rhythmic. Is that some kind of song?
Or it might be a form of "opera recital."
Opera recital?
I looked it up through speech detection, but I found nothing except some pre-pandemic text about "Xiqu", a form of opera. The lines are apparently saying something about puppet shows.
The writing is archaic and rhetorical, and seems be from some lost Eastern civilization. This would be classified as part of the precious human legacy.
...Well, hard to get more info than this right now, though.
I feel like Ayla would be overjoyed if she's here.
The ship has docked.
I detect the presence of Commandant's Mind Beacon...
Right on this ship.
(Nods)
...A lot of biological signals coming from the ship. No Corrupted signals yet...
Let's get aboard.
