[that ever-present droning sound in the entrance shaft and inner rim, that song stuck in a frozen second in time, finally lets out another note, and then another. at the same time, all around the outpost, the "ghosts" of the inhabitants and merchants begin to appear for even longer. eventually, things slowly begin to return to normal, the song

[Lyle frowns at the screen for a long while, thinking. A wrong number's got to mean something bad, so he can't afford to rush this. As far as he can see, the clues are talking about Orion. The belt part makes that much obvious. And Ganymede was one of Jupiter's moons, wasn't it? But what the middle clue might mean, Lyle's got no idea. Can't afford to worry about that, though; the other two clues make him certain enough. Maybe if he spelt out Orion's name in numbers...?]

[He reaches out towards the pad and enters:] 67466#

[Casually, if a bit dismissively.] Now that wasn't so bad.

Should've been 123456 though.

[Turns around and realizes that, yes, he's talking to himself.]

Oh... you gotta be kidding me. A riddle?

[This was so not something Duo knew about.]

Um... Damn it. [He stared at the keypad. This was usually stuff he was good at when given the right chance. But... riddles?] Maybe... hm. [He had to think on this one. He couldn't open the console and hack it, right?

Though... that wasn't a bad idea. He looked it over to see what he could find.]
