Her Triumphant Return (1 week later)

Start from the beginning
                                    

-"That's 53 people dead...but I guess there was nothing more we could do." I said.

-"Indeed, the probability that we escaped with every citizen kept at that facility was very slim. 3.26%, to be exact." Ruby said.

-"Unfortunate...but not our fault."

     As soon as I finished that sentence, I heard a very loud noise behind me. I turned to see a very tall tower creating a massive shockwave that went right by us. It didn't hurt any of us but it seemed to disturb Ruby.

-"Ruby, what just happened?" I asked.

-"Planeptune has just jammed all of our communications. We can't contact Eden for rendezvous." Ruby said.

-"Damn, how are we gonna get the citizens back to Eden?"

-"I detect a large emergency beacon not that far away. It doesn't seem to have been affected by the jammer. If we can activate the beacon we could request rendezvous coordinates for evacuation." 

-"Alright then let's go." 

     I informed the people of our plan and we moved out towards the beacon. It was 2 kilometers away.

1 HOUR LATER

     We moved much slower due to the large and non-trained group but we eventually made it to the long-decommissioned satellite beacon. Vegetation had taken this place for its own. We went inside and tried to find a control panel of some sort. We eventually found one that was still operational, but its power was depleted. 

-"Ruby, this thing's out of power." I said.

-"Let me try to reactivate it." Ruby said.

-"How?"

-"I will transfer some of my core's power to the terminal."

-"Alright, give it a try."

     Ruby got closer to the terminal and I saw the light of the energy flowing into the console. After a bit of trying, the entire building powered up around us. I saw the beacon's giant dish readjusting itself. 

     I went back to the terminal and tried to contact Eden

     I went back to the terminal and tried to contact Eden. After a while of trying an Eden tower contacted me instead.

-"Broadcast installation 07, respond. Explain why the dish is reactivating." An operator said.

     After a while of intense negotiating, I finally got Anonydeath on the line.

-"Hello?" he asked.

-"General! The facility you asked me to investigate was a prison complex! I am currently overseeing 2 747 Eden citizens and we need immediate extraction!" I explained.

-"Great work Nanuk, I'm sending Mk III Colossus transports to extract the citizens. However, you and your Titan will have to find a way back here yourself. Sorry, but all Titan transports are currently dispatched elsewhere."
