I'm going to assume I don't need to explain the situation to anyone at this point. If you have questions, you're going to have to wait until I finish this, and then ask.

This is a request for any pertinent information from our previous mission, or from the past two "days" that would be beneficial for others to know, with the goal of finding out why this is happening, and also for ideas on a real solution.

Please note my use of the word real, as opposed to something that involves- in example- flying your aircraft directly into the missile ineffectively.

Thank you.

How are you doing, Kay?

This isn't pertinent information about the mission, or missile, Padme.

Thank you, I remain quite aware of my own words and their purpose.

You did not answer, as I'm sure you're equally aware.

I already shared this information with Jacob. This is what we found in South Korea, specifically Rextech Scientific laboratories. I do not know what anyone else found in the other labs.

We found information related to PHOBOS. Phobos, in Greek mythology, is the personification of Fear. And It's also a moon of Mars. Relating to project PHOBOS, we found blueprints for a compact hightech military base with rocket launching pads, however the building wasn't designed with Earth’s gravitational force and even had an area called ‘artificial atmosphere generator’.

So PHOBOS is not on Earth. I don't know much about gravitational forces of other planets, but we could try to find which planet this would fit in. [ or satellite, since it IS a Moon of Mars and hey - being obvious is the way to go ]

We also found proof of a large movement of materials required to build PHOBOS but we don't know where those materials went. All we had was a ‘LAUNCH SUCCESSFUL.’ note related to them. And of course, these shipments were were paid for by numerous corporate entities from across the world, all connected to OTO.

There were also other projects. Some involve overcoming difficulties in constructing weaponry in zero-G conditions, like spacesuits that can reduce radiation poisoning. There are few things about ‘freeze ray’ and ‘shrink gun’, but those are only reports that they have been studied, not their blueprints.

There was also note of a weapon capable of temporarily reversing gravity in a small area, which is what was being built in the laboratory were raided. Finally, the physical structure of the satellite encountered during the Big Brother 3000 show was among these files, but we got nothing on its programming.

Thank you, Kaneki. This was very informative.

The amount of funding that would be needed to build a base and transporting such dangerous materials outside of Earth's atmosphere would be immense. I didn't consider earlier that OTO would have that much of a pull. I suppose I am still underestimating the capabilities of this planet's native humans.

Yes, but with the amount of companies backing up that endeavor says a lot about how many people are willing to come together to fight us.

If the launching site for this missile is indeed on Mars' moon, we don't have a way of getting there before it's launched. Clearly trying to blow it up won't work either, which we know there were much better ways of testing that out. [ YEAH kaneki didn't like seeing poe randomly throw himself at the missile either ]

We need to move it or at disarm it. Unless someone can go to Mars in less than a day and manage that, my guess is that we have to physically approach it.

If we can't figure out where it's being launched from or get there in time to stop the launch from happening, the next logical step would be to get to the moon base and attempt to redirect it. Preferably into this system's sun.

I don't have the ability to redirect something that powerful on my own, but it might be possible with several Force users working in tandem.

You want to use the Force...

2/2

[reexamined]

To throw a missile at the sun.

[kanyounot]

Yeah? I redirect fire on a smaller scale all the time. The biggest thing I can usually move on my own is an AT-ST, but get several of us working together and we might be able to manage it.

If we detonate it on a smaller body in space it would still be pretty dangerous and make a big mess, though it'd still be preferable to killing thousands of innocents. If we can get it to the sun it should essentially fizzle out harmlessly - no tech in this galaxy could harm a star. They don't even have shields to defend against orbital bombardment.

[ It's the first time since her return that she's signed her real name — for all that she doesn't want the baggage of her history, sometimes your priorities change in the face of the apocalypse. ]

I can't tell you how to stop our destruction, but I can tell you why we're being given another chance to survive. How the day keeps repeating.

[reexamined]

I'm going to assume it isn't because the missile is a literal 'time bomb.'

[dragony]

Before you woke up, did you hear a voice? "You’ll let it end like this," or something like that? That was Lachesis. The goddess of fate responsible for our presence in this world. She intervened, rather than let us all perish.

If I had to guess how, I suspect it's only our memories that she's pulling backwards. Our injuries aren't coming with us, after all. Rather than repeating a day, we're "remembering" the day ahead of us, to give us the chance to change that fate.

I don't know how many chances she'll give us.

I don't have anything new to contribute right now, but there's a mission planned through RISE that might lead to some intel. I'll keep you posted.

[reexamined]

Thank you. I presume Jacob Taylor is involved in that effort.

[wronganswer]

He's the one who contacted me. There's a lead on the construction site for the missile.

[knaval]

It split up after it was hit, right?

[a beat.]

Is he back? I'm going to kill him.

voice

[reexamined]

Yes, and yes.

Don't worry about killing him. He'll find a way to do it himself again shortly.

The missile is launching from outside the Earth Sphere. Based on its trajectory, it's likely coming from Mars or one of its moons, if we had to guess. I was under the impression that this universe hadn't developed space travel to that level yet, but I don't know where else it could be coming from. I can't imagine there are any stations in that direction.

Also, it's very important to get to the lunar base before the Porter starts malfunctioning, assuming we can't prevent whatever's causing it to go offline. Security at Cape Canaveral is very high, and convincing the authorities to let us launch from there would take too long if they don't remember like we do.

[reexamined]

I was also under the impression the denizens of Earth hadn't developed space travel that far either, but it doesn't sound like an impossibility, given the South Korea information.

You're correct about the level of security. I recall that the emergency maintenance on the teleporters is at 8pm. I wonder if they'd find it suspicious if such a large amount of imPorts decided they wanted to go to the lunar base all in one day.

I have been investigating the source of the time loop, though I am uncertain if anything I have uncovered is at all helpful. However, if I can provide any emotional support, please let me know.

Who flew their aircraft into the missile?

video; private

[reexamined]

Poe.

So yes, I would like emotional support.
