John Beaumann's going to be scouring the documents procured from Unknown to see if there's any info on the mission he went on, casualties, all that jazz.
Looking through the documents, John Beaumann, you find that the secretary had limited access to mission related documents, but you do find a company personnel roster. You see your name still on there along with some attached data:
name: John Beaumann
project: Star Signals
status: active
field office: CLASSIFIED
marital status: married
superior: CLASSIFIED
contact: [blank]
Interested you search the dataset for the keyword "Star Signals" and come up with a list of 22 names including:
Rush McGorry
Jack Seemus
Ash Killtrude
Cynthia Schawrz
Esther Nender
John Beaumann will be looking at Cynthia Schawrz's files first, scanning specifically for mention of death or causes of said death. After that he's going to look at what "Star Signals" consisted of.
Cynthia Schawrz's data shows:
name: Cynthia Schawrz
project: Star Signals
status: active
field office: Unknown
marital status: married
superior: Rush McGorry
contact: @cschwarz
The dataset doesn't appear to hold anything else relating to words "Star Signals".
What is the contact on? future email? if John Beaumann knows, he's going to try and shoot her a message.
He's also going to check Rush McGorry's files and future google what Unknown is, so I assume a knowledge check. I'm gonna say culture
It's a universal handle you can use to contact by comms or text. Unknown is the planet you are on. Rush McGorry's info states:
name: Rush McGorry
project: Star Signals
status: active
field office: Unknown
marital status: single
code: AUG
superior: CLASSIFIED
contact: @rmcgorry
Okay, the code's new. I have no idea what the code is, so i'm gonna try another culture check and see.
There isn't much cultural about it. Discerning what it stands for depends on you.
John Beaumann is going to look at the other 22 names for their contact info and put them all in a group chat. He's not going to say anything yet though.
You now have a draft message open.
I call my mommy. I miss her. However, when I try to call her, my fat fingers slip and send a message to the group chat I created with all my previous merc squadmates. The message will say
"Hey sowhat happeend on] t he Mission ? 👩 + 🔫 🧓 = 🤯 💀 🧒
XO love John"
Point of clarification, the 22 names are not all your squad mates. A squad is made up of 6 people, who I listed. However your comment mentioned that you put 22 names in there.
Ohhhh. I did not know that. Okay, change of plans. So those 6 are the only people i know yes? If so, i'm going to ignore all but the 6. If not, 22 still. Someone's bound to know me.
Yes
gotcha
You finger trembles a bit before clicking the send button. “Should i do this?” You say to your self. But the finger gets ahead of your hesitation and slips onto the screen sending the message.
You wait, but no answer seems to come.
[Remind me, have you sent a group message before or just to your ex?]
[Just to my ex, no group message yet.]
I'm going to send messages to each of them individually now, all following the same format of guy who can't type very well namedropping any vital info like 'we were in a squad together' or 'i may have killed a lot of children in front of you,' all ending with a plea for answers.
Just one more thing to clear up. The 22 names you are referring to are the names that came up in response to your search for the keyword "star signals" not your squad. However two people in that list of 22, Cynthia Schawrz and Rush McGorry do have project: Star Signals attached to them.
I'm going to see if there's any current location info on any of the 6, if any are coincidentally on-planet and in town i'm gonna see if i can find em
Info on your squad mates is in the Johns Day thread
Crap i guess that is all the info...I was trolling for more but I see... OH... FIELD OFFICE... DUH
John Beaumann's going to be going to the field office in search of Rush McGorry and Cynthia Schawrz. I cannot believe i didn't put two and two together here. I was just like hmm yes let me contact my superiors through email only. I even asked you what Unknown was jfc.
Ziritsa NaDoldor paces back and forth for about 20 mins after we get back from Unknown. Every fiber in me screaming from pretending to be girly with my new friend. I stop dead in my tracks. “Friend” my word seems unfamiliar to my mouth as I speak it out in my empty room. I consider picking a bar fight by attempting to search through Alton’s closet again but I decide to put my energies somewhere better: meat. I casually walk to John Beaumann’s room, “John Beaumann if you’re not too busy sulking again, i could use some back up at the temple. They have to be getting that meat in and out somehow. Maybe we will find answers you seek”
