Chatter on the commo channels had been hitting Rhi?s ears on and off. Her faithful four footed companion sat beside her and tipped his head as a familiar name caught his attention. ?No, Riddle, he?s not down there! It?s a person with the same name.? She chuckled as she rubbed her fingers behind the Collie?s ears.
The chatter went on for some time until she heard, "DIANA ? signal ... JaX?" On her end, the AI?s return message was clear enough, it was Ebon?s voice that broke up. Maybe it was all signals, maybe just mechanical ones, but Rhi had to try an alternate method. She reached out with her thoughts. ~Ebon, it?s Rhi. Can you hear me? You?re breaking up. I can relay if you can hear me.~ If that didn?t succeed, there was something more than just equipment being toyed with or failing.
Rhi's voice came over the lines, ?Elpis requesting commo and HW check for Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Gamma.?
