Chapter 1248: The Problem and Solution
The Yphelion came to a gentle stop in its assigned dock. Zac was about to order immediate disembarkation when the screens suddenly became a uniform beige. Connecting to the ship systems did nothing to improve Zac's vantage.
"What's going on?" Emily asked.
"It looks like a barrier's been put up around the ship," Zac said.
"There's an incoming transmission," Jaol said. "Uh, it uses an unknown format. Give me one second."
Jaol's eyes flickered for a few seconds before a static voice appeared in the intercom.
[Welcome, guests. Please be advised, ---------- is currently facing a Tier ------- containment breach. For your safety, only personnel and authorized guests are allowed to disembark. Remain cautious and practice the [Starfall Scripture] provided during orientation. Should you notice any irregularities, immediately inform nearby staff.]
Zac grimaced at the sharp tone that cut into the message, making certain words impossible to make out. The voice was a gentle woman's, and he couldn't tell whether it was an old recording or a synthetic voice installed into the security systems.
"To think those two words were blocked out," Ogras commented, his suspicious tone speaking volumes.
[Security will remain at an elevated state until the breach is contained. Certain sections might be cordoned off. You can consult your liaison on how your station is affected. They will be with you shortly.]
