Research

Natah looks at the data from her tracking unit with no small amount of consternation. According to the data, it was in an area bounded by no more than 1 rel on a planetary body for 923 seconds after. Before and after that it was in motion. The total journey time was only 2,000 seconds. However, it arrived back with them 146,724 seconds after they sent it. The only way that this should be possible is if the destination was near a black hole. However, the transit times were far too quick for that to have been the case. Also concerning is the fact that the tracking unit had traces of void energy on it. This is also worrying in its implications, as not even Tenno have been able to reliably manage long distance unassisted void travel. It also means that she'd be unable to travel with Harry to this educational institution. Idly she calls up the research on souls and the speculation on how to give a Sentient a soul. Could that be what she was missing, all of her children have reported seeing phenomenon in the void, but no probes or recording devices have ever reported any such thing. Even her own trip through the void when Harry rescued her was void of such things. If she's right, then it would also allow her to safely traverse the void and provide her with the same protection to void damage that the creatures of this system seem to enjoy.

Reaching over to her helmet, she places it on her head and accesses The Lotus' systems to record a new message.

"Tenno, this is a capture mission. Your target is a Sentient so you will need to immobilise it before you attempt the capture. Use a Kinetic Siphon Trap to immobilise your target for capture. Remember, we need the target alive."

She then sets up a series of bounties on Lua for her Tenno to bring a small variety of sub-sapient Sentient Drones. If she's going to try to give a sentient a soul, she's going to do it with those that don't have the sense of self necessary to complain first. Idly she considers whether she should share this with the others before discarding the idea. She may revisit it in the event she ever returns to her home, no, her place of birth. This is her home now, and the others can't really see that.

Harry jumps as his communicator activates to show The Lotus, "Tenno, there is a new quest available."

"Hi mum."

"This is official, so Lotus please."

"Yes Lotus." Harry says before opening up the quest information, "Lotus, why do I need to run 20 void mobile defense missions?"

"The tracking cloud was unable to follow the beacon, this suggests the creature is capable of void travel. I will be configuring the amplification arrays to track the signal. Once it is complete we will send the creature out again."

Harry sighs, just his luck she'll need a selection of towers. Not just the lightly contested ones.

A couple of months later he troops into the Lotus' labs wearing a Nezha, "Hey Mum, it's done."

Once she's finished with her call, Natah takes off her "So I see, they're all working perfectly. I was just tracking your progress to Earth. I see you also took the time to take on some of the capture targets."

"I did, what do you need them for?"

"I wanted to visit this planet with you, to see what sort of technology they have that allows them to use animals like that owl to deliver messages safely through the void. Not to mention being able to use animal skins and precious compounds to make a physical record of a message. Their world must be a technological marvel, maybe what the Orokin could have been."

"Well they did send me here safely. Though, apparently here was likely less safe than they expected. I do wonder why they never came to find me though."
