"Good morning, everyone."

The day started off with a meeting. Tsang had asked for everyone to gather in the bridge after breakfast as there was something they needed to do. Everyone had been talking among themselves, wondering what possibly they could be sent to do. They had a lot on their plate as it was. What else could the GRF be asking them to do?

"I contacted the HQ regarding the note and they wish for us to potentially investigate it more. It is far too intriguing to forget about." Tsang said.

"So, are we going to this SETI telescope then?" Amable questioned.

Tsang shook his head. "No. They have been receiving reports of some strange readings elsewhere on Earth and wish for us to see if maybe it may have something to do with this."

"That makes no sense." Jae commented.

"I said the same things, but they said it is more related than we think. But, they refused to elaborate more."

"Do we have any idea what the reading could be of?" Maxi asked.

"They said it came from a person who then vanished before they could catch up and talk." ALIVA answered.

"Maybe that's the connection?" Nico offered. "Someone dropped the note for us so..."

"But why would a lifeform have a weird reading?" Raffael asked.

"That is what no one knows." Tsang said. "The HQ worries this reading they picked up may have something to do with the New Galaxy. Even if it isn't connected to the note, we should still investigate it just for that."

"Where are we going?" Oliver asked.

"An unnamed town in Tennessee. America."

"Unnamed town?"

Tsang hesitated before he answered. "Well... it was created to help refugees from another town, Pigeon Forge, I believe, that had been bombed but... the New Galaxy took it over and that was the end of it."

"What exactly are we walking into then?" Nil asked warily.

"A heavily occupied town. As far as I know it should just be soldiers patrolling the place. All the civilians, unfortunately, have been forced to have BMIs but that is all."

"This is going to be fun." Jae said sarcastically.

"Sounds like this note might be the work of the New Galaxy then." Nico commented. "If this person is responsible or something, them being here probably isn't a good sign."

Tsang nodded. "Indeed. So, I do ask whoever goes to be very careful. We have no idea what to expect. We don't need anyone to lose their life over something small like this."

"So... who is going?" Carlito asked.

Tsang thought over his answer for a while. "Three of you will go to scout out the situation. The less of us, the better chance we have of not being spotted. Of course, if we need backup, more will come quickly. So, who would like to go? I'm going to just make the decision now that Oliver, you are not to go due to the nature of the location."

Raffael, Jae, and Nico held up their hands.

"Very well. Stay safe." Tsang nodded to them. "Let us know what you find."

"We will!"

The three of them set off down to Earth once they got in orbit. The rest hung out in the bridge and waited for them to report their findings.

"Do we know what type of energy this person is transmitting to our radars?" Nil questioned.

ALIVA did a quick search over some transmissions. "Says it's not easy to determine the origin. It's setting off too many things. Trying to isolate it would take a lot of effort and time."
