[LIVE BROADCAST] – PRIVATE Missing Link Of Chain, Thirteen Catastrophes

MLOC: Catastrophes, weren’t you on about an orange overseer? Splay told me that you asked.

TC: Ye-es ma’am. It had sent me-

MLOC: The encrypted data. I’m aware. I got some from that overseer. I cannot trace the  eye back to anyone in my contacts.

MLOC: It had seemed rather important to you. My curiosity is piqued.

MLOC: Help me out here.

TC: Is that a Command or an Order…?

MLOC: Neither. I’m taking your offer from earlier.

TC: Forgive me for misunderstanding. What would you Like to Know?

MLOC: You’re being weird- weirder than usual. Is this about me being senior now?

MLOC: Nevermind, what was in the data?

TC: I deleted it.

MLOC: Okay.

MLOC: I got sent an image… actually. I’m going to do something here. Just wait a moment. Don’t respond back until you get a broadcast from me again.

[LIVE BROADCAST] – DIRECT Missing Link Of Chain, Thirteen Catastrophes

SOURCE NODE TRACE: MLOC ROOT, MLOC COMM04. TC ROOT

MLOC: This is slower, but it should keep us undercover.

TC: Is it really that serious that you need to use Direct Communication?

MLOC: Listen, I’ll truce with you. But only on ONE condition.

MLOC: Do not. Tell your supervisors, your citizens, or any random bureaucrat about anything discussed between us. We don’t know what this could be, or what trouble it could get us into.

TC: What do you mean by that?!

MLOC: I’ll admit, I don’t know you very well. But what I do know is that you can’t keep your mouth shut.

TC: If that’s how you perceive me…

TC: …Sure.

MLOC: Thank you for making this easy.

MLOC: I’ll send that image your way.

MLOC: …

MLOC: Give it some time.

An image of a crypt, dark and only lit by red emergency lights

MLOC: Really, it was just typical overseer footage. My theory is that it was only encrypted to get our attention. The method of encryption was VERY primitive, I brute forced it within minutes.

TC: Apologies for not Doing It Before. I did not Think it’d be that Easy.

TC: If it’s any Help, I had Asked SBC as well and it was acting rather Suspicious, Telling me to stay out of it.

MLOC: Hmm.

MLOC: What else do you have?

TC: Some other odd broadcasts from Horizon of Sulfur. I could send them to you.

MLOC: I was about to ask. After you send them to me though, I’m leaving to return to what I was doing before. The longer I stay on direct communications the more likely I am to be inspected again. I can’t afford that now that I’m a senior.

TC: Well you should’ve-!

TC: No, no.

TC: I’ll send them.
