Subject D-2 departs on lone mission

GalNet Article

Mystery surrounds the unexpected disappearance of Seo Jin-ae, who has reportedly departed the facility she’d been staying at.

Professor Alba Tesreau provided a statement to the media:

“Seo Jin-ae’s mental and physical health have improved over the past three months, with the discomfort caused by her cortical implant significantly reduced. This afternoon, I learned that she failed to attend a routine therapy appointment, and was soon found to have left the facility altogether. Somehow Seo managed to depart without logging her ID at the primary entry point.”

“Initially I feared that she had been abducted by Azimuth operatives, sent by the company which subjected her to horrific neurosurgical procedures. But I soon received a time-delayed communiqué from Seo explaining her departure was voluntary. She offered heartfelt thanks to me and other former Aegis members for our help, but declared: ‘I have unfinished business with Salvation.’”

“I don’t know what this refers to, since Salvation died in HIP 22460. Seo is a headstrong and determined individual who clearly prefers operating alone. I believe she should not be travelling without protection, though. Her ability to interpret the Thargoids’ actions could make her a target for those who mean her harm. I urge anyone who encounters her to alert local authorities.”

Azimuth Biotech offered a response from Director Nassim Qadir , head of the corporation’s medical research division:

“This erratic activity from Ms Seo displays typical characteristics of delusion and paranoid obsession with Salvation, whose death has been confirmed by eyewitness reports. We must question what type of ‘medical help’ she has been subjected to, if it forced her to abscond in this fashion. She would receive far more effective therapeutic care at our facilities.”

Plot twist: Salvation is not dead...
further twist: ... yet

 

[Coehoorn]

I urge you to not report any information on Seo Jin-Ae or her whereabouts to the authorities. The clandestine nature of her operations shall stay this way, without the influence of Azimuth, Black Flight or Aegis.

The past events have shown that Seo Jin-Ae is more capable of survival (and uncovering the dirty machinations of Azimuth) when left alone and unbothered.

Should you come across Seo Jin-Ae on your journeys, see if you can offer help and support, but do not inform any authorities.

If you wish to do a targeted search for Ms. Jin-Ae, make sure to disable automatic crime reporting in you ship settings menu.

Plot twist: Salvation is not dead...
further twist: ... yet

The death of Caleb Wycherley was never reported by independent parties. I would like to believe he is dead for good, and not a Palpatine archetype, as Arthur's tweets hint at. Yet, even recently, Rademaker used a line we all heard dozens of times: "Under my guidance, Azimuth...". Coincidence or not, the possibility of his return should not be a matter of jokes.

Hopefully this will turn out interesting...

Salome' 2.0 .

 

[GroG79]

Better call Harry

 

[Felix DiCestria]

I don't think she's on his friends list.

 

[Elpapo]

Oh, so she ran away, like again?

 

[Banana's_Are_Good_For_You]

Good, good...

This suggests that Salvation is still alive and this could also be why there was talk on Galnet a few weeks ago about the Thargoids looking for something, but we still don't know what it is.

She's looking for his body. There's still some tea bagging to be done.

 

[Rainbro]

The Thargoids might already have him and be keeping him alive. Would explain how she knows and it fits in pretty nicely with the failed recovery GalNet.

He's been a Thargoid all along! Tricked us into building their super weapon.

Thargoids looking for something

This is being repeated very often, but it's more of a rumor than anything else.

The GalNet in question mentioned that we don't know the goal of the Thargoids, not that they're looking for something, iirc. Feel free to correct me with a source.

If they were looking for Wycherley for some reason (which I don't believe), they could've started with T Tauri and the nebulae, instead of starting a large scale invasion on our civilization. I think we have to accept that they're not here to play or find someone or something.

Tricked?

Are you that gullible?

That's one interpretation, but Wycherley doesn't need to be breathing to have unfinished business.

 

[Reggit]

Gotta admit - this story made me sit up, and pay attention.
I have no idea what direction this whole Thargoid thing is going to go...but Seo Jin-ae certainly has the potential to answer alot of burning questions. (Probably just in time for the next update!)

I'll be watching o7

She needs to start looking for a fleet carrier called Nemesis. Which wasn't in HIP 22460 during the incident. The moment he starts advertising Manufacturing Instructions for sale in the carriers bar, his cover will be blown.

 

[Edelgard von Rhein]

I don't think she's on his friends list.

Has anyone tried adding her to your friends list?
This was possible with Salome because the character was an 'Advanced NPC', i.e. she was played by someone (the author in that case) using a a dedicated account.
Seo Jin-ae is the kind of character who could well be played in this manner.
