Across the Expanse: Day 13
*Start transmission*
Havardy: Do you have visual yet?
Lee: Just coming up to a good vantage point, hold on… There, the Mine is in sight.
Havardy: What's the situation?
Havardy: Are they all grounded?
Lee: Yeah, if you're gonna fly now would be the time to do it.
Havardy: Got it. Can you tell what model the Frigate is?
Lee: Looks like an old Coalition one, maybe an S-40 or 41?
Havardy: Perfect, we went over the blueprints for those all the time back at the Academy.
Lee: I think I remember see those in some of the notes I was going over.
Havardy: Yeah, makes our plan much easier. If what we’re looking for is still intact then we are set.
Lee: You sure you remember where it was?
Havardy: Yeah I think I know the general area, plus it's deep in the ravines so chances are there should still be a faint energy signal for me to trace.
Lee: Alright well I'll keep an eye out here, let me know when you have visual.
Havardy: Will do.
Havardy: Hey.
Lee: Have you found it yet?
Havardy: No, I just got to the general area, any change in movement on their end?
Lee: Negative, there are a couple of pirates outside that looked like they were arguing but that could be about anything.
Havardy: Have you managed to get a headcount of them?
Lee: The most I've seen leave the frigate was a group of three, keeping that in mind I’m guess they were originally a group of six.
Havardy: Now five.
Lee: Yeah, if we can somehow draw away those Corsairs it'll go down to three.
Havardy: Right… Anyways that's not why I got into contact with you, how’s your shoulder doing?
Lee: It's fine, just a little sore. Considering the stuff we had to use back in the bunker I'd say it's a blessing.
Havardy: Yeah, but you probably shouldn't stress it out when you can.
Lee: Considering what we're trying to do? I doubt that I'm going to be able to prevent that.
Havardy: Well just relax it for now alright?
Lee: Noted.
Havardy: Alright, well I'll let you know whenever I find it. How much time do we have left?
Lee: About two hours. Then I got to start heading back if I want to make it before nightfall.
Havardy: Got it, contact you in a bit.
Havardy: Found it.
Lee: Nice, is it’s drill still intact?
Havardy: Yeah, luckily enough only the drone’s torso was really damaged. Let me see if… yes! It’s fuel rod is still intact.
Lee: Perfect, is getting the drill gonna be a problem?
Havardy: Nah, just let me cut this off and I’ll be on my way.
Lee: Make sure to keep its circuitry intact.
Havardy: I know this, how hard coul- oh.
Lee: Are you kidding me?
Havardy: You distracted m- oh wait, no, no we’re good, false alarm.
Lee: *Groan* Alright well there is no movement on my end, I’m gonna start heading back.
Havardy: Alright, see you back at the bunker. I’m gonna take a long route and see if I can’t fly above the ravines for a bit, the flares from Deletros should be enough to mask my emissions.
Lee: Sounds like a plan, see you in a bit.
