Chapter 286: - Linthol Burns

"What's the closest one to us?" Gus demanded, almost as soon as his foot hit the bridge. "Is it just those three systems under attack, or are there any more under threat?"

"Just those three that we know of," Karl responded. "But reports are a little fragmented. All we know is that something has happened, and it involves those three systems. What the scale of it is, or the truth of the reports, is all a little questionable. We're trying to get in contact with those systems to validate what we've heard, but it's taking some time to get in contact with them. As for which one is closest, it's not really relevant but we'd get to Linthol slightly quicker than we would should we go somewhere else?"

"Start heading there," he ordered, before turning around and heading back out. "If you hear anything else, let me know. I'll be downstairs, prepping us to land."
