Sooooo I don't know who's been talking to Kyan at all, but he's been trying to figure out what's going on with the Tachyon storm. Apparently, he's thinking now maybe we shouldn't try to outrun it. He's not scared of it anymore, apparently, and since the data in it is so organized he's wondering if it's carrying information about something...?

I don't really know what that could mean, but considering we're trying to outrun the thing (and sort of failing at the moment), I feel like this is probably important.

Do we have anyone trained in tachyon physics? I can do chemistry, I can talk neutrinos and quantum mechanics if I have to, but I don't know anything for sure here except that this sounds like a really, really bad idea.

I'm definitely not, and I'm not sure anyone has brought up anything about it.

Then we should talk him out of it. Or get him to try it in an Outrider, with a few Investigators, and everyone else long gone in hyperspace.

I don't think he's going to. Nikias said Kyan would dive right back into it if there weren't so many people on board, but I don't think it's actually going to happen. [he hopes it doesn't actually happen, not without a bit more proof.]

Good. That's way too much risk.

On the other hand, if a couple of us wanted to steal an Outrider and wait for it...

Are there any investigators that got their hands on an outrider? [he would feel better using one of theirs than stealing from people who would still be here later.]

Zoe was planning on trying to get one working, but I don't know if she actually managed.

And if not... there might be some that got left behind when everyone evacuated the Corona. Assuming we could get to them without, you know, dying.

What's the exact thing trying to kill us on the Corona? [because some people might be immune. if all else fails, Phillip wouldn't have much issue with going.]

Radiation poisoning? Maybe. I'm not actually sure if anything ever melted down to the point that it would still be dangerous there, but if it is... that's not something anyone wants to mess around with.

I could go, if we really needed someone.

Are you immune to radiation?

No.

Then... no, you probably shouldn't do that. At least not unless we can find some suits that'll stand up to short-term radiation exposure.

I'll start working on that.
