Infini Page #3

---

an order classified code Zephyr

in the realisation, and I quote...

"A catastrophic global event was imminent

if the contents of any one payload

"ever met with our atmosphere".

Which is where

the real sh*t-storm occurs.

12 minutes ago,

west coast slip stream depot 946

attempted to recall

research officer Montoli Reece...

from active duty

on mining station Infini.

Now, we know Montoli was part

of an inspection team of 15

sent to assess the site

following the recent disaster.

During the time out there, something

happened to the other members of the crew

resulting in their deaths.

HQ tried to pull Montoli out...

he crippled his APEX device

to remain on the facility.

- So are we talking villain or saviour here?

- I would definitely go with the former...

expect phenordementia,

maybe even rhombust psychosis.

So should we be expecting

some sort of fire fight out there?

- Jacklar, I don't f***ing know.

- Well, we've got Rex Mannings.

Be prepared for anything. Okay, listen!

Whilst on Infini...

Montoli was able to bring base operations

back online via the local network,

then severed remote connection.

He has prepped a payload...

to be delivered to an undisclosed

location here on Earth.

Given the slipstreams,

is six minutes from now.

I don't have to tell you how important

this mission is. Wait.

We just lost the west coast.

- Which squad?

- Every single person.

The entire division.

- Sh*t.

- They jumped in to extract Montoli.

I'm hearing... they think

it's an airborne threat out there.

West coast went into lockdown.

Goddamn.

They had to be lethally quarantined.

What about the ones in the field?

On Infini?

We're hearing someone had the insight

to blow out the compartment housing

that sent the whole station

into a deep freeze.

- So they're all dead.

- No, no. All but one.

Whit Carmichael. 34, basic grunt,

sub-specialty survival tech.

Looks like he eventually wanted

to become one of you.

Smart guy. What did he do?

Records show an illegal jump into Infini,

assumably to escape the lockdown.

Okay, okay, locator markers have him

last pegged in the furnace control room.

That makes sense. It seals tight

in an emergency to protect the core.

He's been out there a week already.

His rations will be getting low.

A week? He only left Earth

a few minutes ago.

Yeah, correct.

So we're talking

serious time dilation here.

I'm reading a whole bunch of singularity,

black hole bullshit, but basically,

you're gonna be gone for one minute,

14 seconds of our time

which will give you just over 24 hours,

one day out there.

- Okay.

- Great.

Guys, best case scenario, they can

get us out of there in two hours.
