Gathering Information
Saja: We will get something to eat first...
Saja: Then it's time to gather some information.
Ravenna: Gather some information...?
Saja: You'd be surprised at how much can be learned through underground channels about Zetsfir's activities.
Saja: There are spies here from all over the world and even some working for Zetsfir, unfortunately.
Saja: If you know who and how to ask... there's a lot of good information that isn't available through official channels.
Ravenna: That's actually pretty unexpected, I have to admit.
Saja: Malachi, put that away.
Saja: Over there is where Malachi buys his video games.
Ravenna: This place is bigger than I thought. Is this entire section a mall?
Saja: Pretty much. This section is a tourist attraction of sorts. Here, I'll show you.
Saja: Commercial sub-level A4.
Saja: Here's High Fashion Planet on the main plaza level, where we just were.
Ravenna: That must be where we were fighting Zetsfir.. and here's the restaurant...
Saja: Yes. And here's the residential area and my quarters...
Saja: Actually... good timing.
Saja: Has anything new come up with regard to Zetsfir's 5D gates?
Pleione: It's funny you should ask, Saja. Some really large gates have been opening in low orbit over the past few days.
Malachi: Huh. This is the first I've heard of any new activity. It's been quiet over the past week.
Pleione: These are harder to detect. We didn't know how to look for them until yesterday when we got some new data on scanning techniques.
Pleione: At least one of those gates appears to be one that the Prince was using.
Saja: This new information... did it come from one of our spies, or...?
Pleione: This is probably not the best place to discuss it. We have a new informant, let's leave it at that for now.
Malachi: Ah, ha! Good to know.
Pleione: There's still a lot of chaos at HQ and we're still working on a new plan since the Aufdek mission didn't pan out.
Pleione: Oh, by the way, how is Virulyde doing?
Saja: He will be fine. Dr. Maxwell is going to do some repairs and prevent a future takeover.
Pleione: That's good. As you know, until he is in working condition, any further missions have been suspended.
Pleione: I'm sorry to run off but I have a meeting. Later!
Saja: See you later, Pleione.
Malachi: Take care, Pleione.
Saja: Hmmm.... Zetsfir's deploying gates again but not attacking. I don't know what to make of it.
Malachi: We've strengthened our exterior defenses a little but I wonder if it's enough.
Saja: Let's eat and then see if any of our informants have updates.
Saja: If any of those gates are left open long enough, there might be a mission to go through one.
Malachi: To the planet Zetsfir?
Saja: If it exists, maybe.
