"Well, something stirred up all that sand beyond the rock towers."

"Yeah, I know, and there's only static now on the COMS."

"Could be a dust storm is stirring up."

"Nope, wrong time of year.

"COMS system on the blink?"

"Maybe; happens. You know those tech guys are always fiddling around with it."

"What about that unidentified vessel?"

"Yeah, well that's a possibility too."

"Let's wander up to the intersection."

"Looks like the guys from the Power Plant are heading up here."

"Might as well go back to the Admin Block."

"Something's still stirring the dust up over the rock towers.

Is that a shape rising? In the middle of it?"

"Nope; you're seeing things."

"Admin says the COMS are still down. Looks like scrambling."

"Scrambling? Who'd be scrambling a mining zone channel?"

"Anyway, there's nothing happening around here."

< *Proceed: 1 G.B.A.C.* >

< *1s: Visual/Prey/IDa/Mid-tech/Soft-skins/Edible* >

< * 2s/3s: Clear * >

"That dust has settled."

"Stop going on about that dust! There's always dust blowing around!

It's an arid world! How long have you been posted here?"

"Hey! Just saying."

"Admin says COMS definite blocking/scrambling.

Not tech hitch, not dust storm, definite external action."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

< *Fly-by Recon Drone: no change previous.

Proceed: 1 G.B.A.C.* >

< *1s: Visual/Prey/IDa* >

"Hey, you guys get the feeling you're being watched?"
