Signal Fade (Day 2, LM, Mirror Cove)

[Comstar]

The building was extremely cramped, the two of them almost squeezed against each other. There were a lot of tubes and conduits coming from the floor, it looked like power was piped in to this device from somewhere else, and then there was a metal ladder leading up to several additional levels of gantry, each with access to additional diagnostic panels and tube access points. It looked like this device was never meant to house staff - but was simply a remote signal booster of some sort. There was the potential to get information from one diagnostic computer, or to just lose the signal entirely...

[Dr. Reinhardt]

"Tech see if you can get any of this working to identify the signal source? I can pitch in if you want, but I am sure your better at this." He smiles.

[Theodore Beker]

"Ah, a terminal!" the tech didn't need to be asked twice to get to work on it, "Let's see what we can find out..."

[Theodore Beker]

He hit a couple buttons and quickly things came together. "This looks pretty alright. Let me see..."

[Comstar]

The machine was in bad shape - humidity had gotten to it even if actual precipitation hadn't, and the screen barely worked.

Still, he recognized this interface - it was an old base level operating system that was still used for most mech communication packages - it would be possible to download the original message from the terminal, but not a ton else, given how little the screen was able to render and how badly damaged the system was. Doing anything fancy might reference hardward that no longer worked, and that would crash the entire system.

[Theodore Beker]

He plugged his system in and started to download. "Okay, so good news. I can get the message properly downloaded for future, easier reference. Bad news this whole rig is mostly rotten from centuries of being stuck in the ocean so there isn't much more I can do without causing it to fry."

[Dr. Reinhardt]

"Get the message, once we have it, we can risk it and see if we can get a direction before we lose everything"

[Karlotta Roth]

She looked up to the screen as it was magic. "Can't we download it and transfer to ourselves and check at the Calico?"

[Dr. Reinhardt]

"The recording won't tell us what direction its coming from, though the message may give us a clue. We might need readings from multiple locations to find the source of he signal, triangulate it if you will."
