I couldn't believe we'd escape with our limbs intact, but the shipmistress had accepted our conditions,

and now the Kigyard Horror Show was behind us.

We were alive, and thankfully, clear of the jackal perimeter.

I've finished analyzing the atmospheric readings from Ari's data chip.

You're helping now. I thought you were a company man.

I am, but I knew you were just going to ask Mshark to do it, so I thought it might as well

get done properly. Between these readings and those from the other four colonies,

compensating for pre-event weather conditions on each world, a pattern has emerged.

Pattern, what sort of pattern?

In the days and hours leading up to the anomalies,

each planet experienced a specific wave of gravitational and electromagnetic disturbances.

So, if we find a planet experiencing those same disturbances,

we can predict the next anomaly?

Meshach, can you cross-check those patterns against current conditions from local colonies? Already on it.

I can only access a few nearby worlds, but there's a match.

A planet called Lyca 3.

Statistically speaking, they're about to have a really bad day.

Well, we've got to warn them, help them evacuate whatever we have to do.

Before you set your course, you should know, I've also transmitted my findings back to Oni headquarters.

You did what?

Shoot him!

A heavily populated world is about to be hit by an anomaly that has proven catastrophic.
