USERNAME: TSAVON
PASSWORD:
Kasey hummed for a second. That name sounds familiar. He tapped into his comms. ââTsavon,â does that name sound familiar to anyone?â
Tsarena answered immediately from within the room. âThatâs the name of Mahinaâs friend on Porygar!â
Kasey snapped his head back at Tsarena. âWhatâs his pad doing here?â
âHis pad?â Tsarena rushed over and tore the device from Kaseyâs hands.
âWhatâs his pad doing there?â Falisto asked from the ship, his voice cut by static.
Kasey answered, âNot sure, itâs password protected. Headsâ up, youâre cutting in and out for me.â
âPause,â Shamp commanded, from the other end of the room. âTsavon is listed on it too.â
âAny way we can break into one?â
âIâll try to get in,â Tsarena said. âShame Amber isnât here.â
Shamp walked over, holding two pads, each shattered beyond repair. âWeâre certain Tsavon is an individual?â
âWhat else could it be?â Kasey asked.
âAn alias?â Tsarena guessed. She placed the pad on a table, fiddling with some lock-picking software.
âIâll look around some more.â Kasey headed to the other ensemble of equipment. Towards the corner of the room, a switchboard attracted Kasey, with glowing buttons and two joysticks like an old-school arcade game.
As if playing the piano, his fingers rested over the buttons in a claw shape, and his other hand grasped a joystick. There were far more buttons than Kasey expected. Two in red, three in blue, five in yellow, and seven in white like some childrenâs game.
Kaseyâs fingers guided the joystick, cranking it back as if trying to levy a Navigator skyward. A small, originally unseen device crawled from underneath a table at the joystickâs command. Kasey quickly moved it another way and confirmed his finger was the puppeteer.
âWhat is this?â Shamp bent down to the device.
Kaseyâs face lit up the second he got a good view. âI havenât had one of these since I was a kid,â Kasey giggled. He maneuvered the remote control car around, running into support beams and encircling Shamp as if she were being preyed on by sharks.
âLook!â Shamp pointed with a tendril. Above Kasey, a live feed played from the carâs viewpoint.
Tsarena grunted, the sound of another failed passcode echoing in the chamber. âI canât get in without tools.â She eyed the remote-controlled car Kasey played with but didnât disengage from hacking into Tsavonâs pad.
âWe can bring a pad back with us,â Kasey suggested, still watching the live feed as he crashed the car. Tempted by buttons, Kasey entertained the idea of pressing one, hoping it would do some trick that he never got to do with the donated toys during Christmas gift drives.
âDoes it offer a password hint?â Shamp asked, turning to Tsarena.
âNothing,â she sighed. âIâve tried everything I can think of.â
âEnjoying yourself?â Shamp craned her long neck towards Kasey. âDo you want to investigate the actual evidence?â
âIâm just looking at these buttons now.â
Shamp waddled over, tripping over an uneven brick in the floor. Using two of her tendrils, she dug into the ground and saved herself from a faceplant, but her third tendril lost control and swiped at Kasey.
