It has officially been one year since we got stranded out here. I noticed something interesting on the radar. There seems to be multiple ships heading our way very slowly. It seems the place they want to be is somewhat near us. I know it is not human because I don't recognize the signal it's giving off. Maybe they sent the elites to come pick us up. If so its only a matter of time before they find us. Maybe I can send them a personal message by tapping into their comm channel. I need to see if I can grab a signal off of them. I'm going to play this smart though, just in case. I'm going to listen in on them for a bit before I speak. See what they have going on before they come to get me. Alright just got to set up a couple more things... and there we go.
"Commander if my calculations are correct the shield world is approximately one day away from us."
"Good we should be there soon do you have the exact coords?"
"No sir I don't, but I have it narrowed down to a few hundred kilometres."
"Ok good, keep searching."
What the hell were they talking about? A shield world? There isn't a record of a shield world anywhere near here. I can check again but believe me the first thing I looked for was anything we could land on anywhere near here and there was nothing. Anyway they obviously do not know I am here. This may be my only chance I have to get out of here though. So I'm going to take a risk. But as a bit of a safety measure I won't tell them who I am.
"Hello? Is anyone there."
"Who is this, how'd you find us?"
"I can't tell you who I am at the moment, all I can say is you are close. All you have to do is find me."
"Tell us who you are!"
"I cannot do that, come find me and you will have all the answers. Anyway I must go."
I didn't actually leave their call, now that I have their attention I can see who they really are.
"Captain, who was that?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing."
"Do you think it's the Librarian?"
"I think it has to be. There seems to be no other signals outside requiem."
Requiem. That's the shield world. Who is the Librarian? They seem to think I am it. Whoever it is, they are on Requiem. The Elites also seem to have no problems with her. But I can't get a pickup from them anymore. I have to find another way out. Hopefully we float by another ship, or maybe even Requiem.
