Message 09: Picking Up the Pieces

[unrecovered]

[It's a few days after FILSS' opening the training room, and Wash is still tired. He's in full armor and helmet to hide that fact. He holds up an AI chip in front of the camera. It's hollow in the middle and isn't lighting up.]

Melody had this. I'm pretty sure she found it on the Mother of Invention. Those of you who know what this is, there isn't anything in it. It's not active. That...doesn't stop it from talking.

The ID card from the post office and the blank photo from the mansion. Who has them?

[In the background, Melody protests, albeit not nearly as loud as she had when he'd mentioned getting another cat. Hey! She was holding onto that for Lela! Give it back!]

[ Deanna's still new enough that a lot of that was gibberish for her. All but one thing. ]

The Mother of Invention—that's the ship that I was told about when I arrived, isn't it?

[unrecovered]

It is, yes. I wouldn't recommend going there just yet.

[truth_detector]

Of course. I wouldn't venture there alone. I'm just trying to learn more about what had been going on before my arrival here.
