[SOS] (Case 03: Flare Guns)

[ Yako has turned the sphere on. ]

Hey, everyone! I figured since that last transmission, trying a few different things would be helpful, and the less we duplicate each other the better. Our time's better used in doing different things, when we're looking for some sort of response from whoever we heard from.

Visuals might help better. Most cases have the gun and two flares, which should look something like these.

I can come find you to add another set of eyes to the search. I was planning to observe what happens here for a bit longer, but then it's back to the drawing board for immediate solutions or attempts at contact.

[Mentally notes what they look like and nods.] Thank you.

That shouldn't be necessary. I will have them sorted together for you to pick up. If there are enough, it would be best if we could send off flares at evenly spaced intervals over several days.

You're welcome.

[ Her turn to nod. ] It's far enough after sunset to not look like a ritual for the sun or moons, I hope.
