Chapter 60: Newsletter
After thinking on it for a couple of seconds, Derek decided to lug the tablet back to the bridge to read the message within conversing range of whoever was in there.
As it turned out, he was the only one who’d even left.
“So, where to, captain?” Atticus asked, spinning his chair around.
In response, Derek instead raised the tablet, newsletter already open. “In here, somewhere. I figured we should read it together.”
“The newsletter is the biggest adventure we’re going to find?” Ye-in asked, not even bothering to try and hide her disbelief.
“No,” Derek shook his head. “But the information in here is, apparently, going to lead us somewhere that’s more interesting than anything within three hundred light-years.”
“That bad?” Atticus asked.
“That empty,” Mimi guessed, leaving Derek to nod half-heartedly while he mirrored the newsletter on the main viewscreen. A mistake, as it turned out, not even a full minute later, as they apparently had very different reading speeds.

Though Mimi was a close second, the [Skill] he knew she had for quickly taking in the entirety of blueprints likely having similar “alternative” applications.
