《Aegis》Chapter 55: Five Crows
Advertisement
Not wanting to intrude on Mu'randa again, you scribble a note onto a scrap of paper, instructing her to check in with the Tau and offer to help finding their missing Investigation team now that the colonists are less likely to start shooting things. She nods her acceptance, but never stops with the cooling words she is pouring into her microbead.
For your part, you head for your cabin. The data probably won't be available for some time, and you will need a clear head to think, so a nap is in order.
Three hours later, you return to the bridge. Simo is at the Holotable with the scans of the site of the former Warp Shrine, now a small lake of craters, and the Tau's positional data. as you expected, the Tau team vanished in uncomfortably close proximity to the Shrine's location.
A hovering datafile contains the hastily edited rosters of the Tau personnel, though you don't bother to do more than glace through it. Mu'randa will make better headway with figuring out what useful information may exist about the missing Tau. Assuming that they aren't dead at this point.
The only thing left to do is head down there and see if you can pick up a trail. Elena and Adam are must-brings, for their skill at arms and, in Adam's case, experience fighting warp-touched foes. The Tau will be sending a few warriors as well as a translator / Facilitator, to make sure that their Team comes back safely. You scratch your slowly-growing beard in thought. Mu'randa would be quite useful as a diplomat, and Yasha is the only person who is capable enough psyker to alert the rest of the part to warp-taint. Kudo has a better skill set for doing so, but he is ancient and hunchbacked as well as blind.

Hardcore OP-ness
Most people pray for good health, a loving family, and to win the lottery. I asked “Can you send me to a game-like fantasy-style world? It can't be too unrealistic, but also, it would be nice if I was immortal to some degree. Oh yea, no rape or slavery either, cause then I'll have to spend the whole time trying to create a perfect society, and I'd rather not have to deal with all that nonsense. No other players either, cause that always creates a ton of annoying drama, and I just want to have a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable time.â€Three years later, after I had completely forgotten about all that… well, better late than never I suppose. The moral of this story, is to be careful what you wish for; also, cuteness is justice, so don't complain if adorable bunnies beat you to death and devour your corpse.(Warning: This story includes profanity, numbers, humanity, nudity, uncomfortable realism in a fantasy-world, awkward but mild sexual-content, descriptive violence and gore, nekomimi, necrophilia, bizarre and disturbing sexual-content, offensive language, plus all of the other things that disclaimers usually have to tell you about. Do not read this if you dislike transportation, virtual reality, fantasy, or other similar genres… or me, because I'm the author.)I'm only posting a few chapters on this site, but there are over 100 on my wordpress. https://mike777ac.wordpress.com/hardcore-op-ness/
