Havoc: Planet too, the people on the planet are worth more then the rock, and they are gone

Naomi: That too.

...

As much as this makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist, maybe they were killed.

Omar: Perhaps it was a mass transport? Although that would also leave the question of what even would consider taking them.

Naomi: Both of those are reasonable, but hear me out.

The news said their quantum entanglement communicator was broken.

Now I know that sounds innocuous.

-takes on insulting tone of voice-

"Dumb Naomi don't you know that all you have to do is observe the qubits and then you have an intact machine that doesn't work?"

In theory, you are correct, though might I add, hypothetical naysayer, you are also a bitch. Now, I'm not sure how these guys do it but back home, and I presume this is the standard for QE comms that anyone with more than two brain cells would use, the machinery that actually puts the qubits into talky mode is hardcoded to do so, and it runs on a seperate machine from whatever you're using to talk, meaning that you either put polity-level resources into a hack that shuts it off, pry it open to mess it up, or just toss a brick of plastic explosives or an EMP bomb at it and call it a day.

So if Nowhere's QE communicator is dead, well, looks like those Duke boys are in a peck of trouble, y'know?

Omar:-Stares-

Is this another one of those old television rerun references that are common here? Because I somewhat understood that.

Red: Aw, I kinda liked that place.

Cath: It was where a lot of us first met.

(Cath thinks.)

Omar: So, if I am understanding this right, then the likelihood that their communicator would have been damaged by non-violent means is very low, which indicates that they are also in potentially grave danger?

@Cath "With the fancy dress and stuff. I remember those times. Especially when I was Naomi's welcome mat."

Naomi: -to Omar, but also Lisa and Roy kind of- Essentially? Yes.

I don't think they disappeared. As kinda terrifying as it is to consider it, somebody or something wanted them gone.

Omar: That is a very strange thought. The idea of wanting a civilization from a planet as backwards and ill-equipped would point to a personal desire rather than any idea of compensation.

Naomi: And yet it happened.

So the really big question is; who would want anything to do with a place as back-asswards as Nowhere, and why?

"Last time we're there, we fought bandits, wolfmen cultists, and those NOD guys. Anything else I might have forgotten?"

Cath: This is all really heavy.

(She taps her head and sits on the couch.)

Cath: We need a vacation.

(Beat.)

Cath: Oh! Idea! Er, if we're going to take our time investigating Nowhere's disappearance.

Cath: Well, we've been doing a lot of fighting, and this is kind of heavy, learning our... Well, your, first impromptu mission was on Nowhere. So, I'm thinking, we could use a break. And I think my home planet, Ohn, could maybe be just the break we need. I think it's honestly a pretty nice, peaceful place.

Asagi: That's an awesome idea! grin
