Earth:

Mankind did not leave their home willingly. In 2321, there was an energy reaction that turned a good portion of [Earth]’s solar system into a wasteland. The creatures there are tougher than most in the Universe. It is not a place to travel alone.

Great. In game terms, this meant I would need a raid party. Would twenty [Mechanoid]s count? Probably not enough, not nearly enough. I pushed away the windows and tried to figure out where the game had put me.

“Unit Hermes!” Treasure’s metal body moved rather smoothly as she ran toward me.

I admired our ability to simulate living bodies even with these non-organic shells. Her face didn’t look happy though. Iron was running up as well, a few steps behind.

“What’s wrong, Treasure?” I asked. There couldn’t be that much wrong in the space of four hours, could there?

“Someone has attacked the Wayfarer Eight. Their consortium is crippled,” Iron said. He stood half a head above me and frowned.

“Voices,” I muttered. Saving the Wayfarers had been Hal Pal’s goal. We could really use both ships in order to complete this group quest. “What happened?”

“Their ship was in the line of fire. A squadron attacked the crew where the Mistborn was being held,” Iron said. Both of his voices sounded troubled. One arm rippled as metal plates heaved up and down.

“What?” Now I shared their troubled look.

“You heard Iron, Unit Hermes. Someone has kidnapped the Mistborn.” Treasure waved an arm.

Imagery of [Wayfarer Eight]’s broken ship hung in the air. Other ships were in the mix, ones that had been on our side in fighting the [Leviathan]. At least two were player ships.

I blinked, and for a moment, the thought from before continued in my head. Had the Voices predicted this as well? Was it all a plan? Get me to the [Mistborn], then take her away right as I committed?

The goal was simple enough. Get the [Mistborn] back. Whoever stole her would have to head to the same destination—the video game representation of Earth in a ruined galaxy. Through an entire problem that required a huge party of people to overcome.

“Wait. This might be good,” I said while nodding. “Who took her?”

“Commander Viola Queenshand,” Treasure said. Her tired voice shut down the sweet half.

Nox had warned us. Commander Queenshand must have someone she wanted to bring back as well, but who? Who would be worth going against the normal world programming which marked this quest as player only? Nox should have stood guard too. Where did she go?

“Okay.” I nodded and tried not to get distracted. Our mission had simple goals, and we had one thing to do at a time. “We have to follow her and make sure they don’t let the Mistborn die. She can die, right?”

“She’ll be sent back to the prison and we’ll be unable to access her for another two months,” Iron said.
