PROTOCOL 5801.

Hello, my children

[transparentis]

Is the party scouting for specific targets?

[amachinemind]

Not specifically, Shelke. The patrol is merely a caution device, to scout the area around the sub and some parts of the city, as a few weeks does leave... some vulnerability in what the Overlords have been up to. Some are experienced missioners and patrollers, so the hours after the city scouting will be devoted to checking areas they see fit to examine.

[transparentis]

I see. I was just wondering if...

No, never mind.

[amachinemind]

What is it, Shelke?

You do not have to say.

[transparentis]

...As you are aware, my sister may still be somewhere in the city. Assuming she lives.

I was merely curious concerning whether or not they would locate her.

[amachinemind]

Ah... I see.

That all depends on where she is hiding... located... and so forth. As is, those on missions know that it is their duty to bring back anybody they find.

If they find her, she will be brought back here.

[transparentis]

You would find her to be more of a hindrance than help. She sustained many injuries.

[amachinemind]

Regardless. If a child is found, they are brought back to us.

There are also things that have to be taken care of by children on the sub.

[transparentis]

Very well.
