1835 GREENHEART TIME, MAY 21st, 301 P.L
ERROR: FAILED TO CONNECT TO INTERNET TIME SERVER.
Arthur Staunch (Megggas):Check my inventory for anything I can use as a distraction while I escape. If I have nothing, look for a place to hide.
[5-new miniquest] You dive onto the ground. Although the terrain is mostly smooth, you sink in a little bit, and you can't see your pursuers. Logic dictates that they can't see you either, especially if they're using the old code that only does a raycheck from your center of mass. Even if you're poking out slightly, you should be invisible to NPC's.
[4] You also get to work crafting a dummy out of the chrome rod and the shrapnel piece. It should hopefully look just like you from a distance. Maybe they'll shoot at it. You hold it up.
[1] It gets shot.
Fortunately, since you are on the ground, you manage to crawl a couple dozen meters from the dummy. Now there is a small dune in the way, so you can stand up again without being seen.
Suddenly, your suit gives the message: "Server lost. Reconnecting to nearest server: G2"

Alright, that's enough. Don't want to lose the drone, and the camera logs- if they're a thing- might be useful. Time to bring the drone back.
The camera feed is stored on both the drone's internal memory and the helmet of the person operating it.

Judging by your silence, Night appears to have reconsidered.
"Okay, okay... I just get this feeling that I can't just stand around the base doing nothing at all. Do you have any sort of mission for me to do?"
Graves seems to be having some sort of breakdown, or a misunderstanding:
Graves notices the body as Paphi moves the extra pod around.
"Wait a minute... I recognize that face, I think. Is it--"
His eyes widen, as you can see through his goggles.
"NIGHTHAWK!" he screams.
He rushes over to the body leans over it.
"Man! Those bastards... when they moved his pod they must have misconnected the power or something..."
He stands up.
"So it's my fault. It really is my fault. I got my friend killed because I wanted to be able to talk to him. Fuck me."
