Episode 5
After days interrogating Raeleth, she finally messed up. Something she said hinted to me that I should check the derelict Destiny for a clue to proceed. I sent a ship there with orders to use Essi to comb it's systems for anything that seemed out of place.
When the ship arrived, I got word that the Destiny looked gutted. My heart sank at this, but I should have expected such a thing. It had been 20 years since she was abandoned. Still, I told Essi to see if she could find something. And find something she did.
It turns out that the networking systems on the Destiny were still intact. And with those systems, a suspicious record. It would turn out that this was a location in Black Void space of a place I was looking for. Something that would expose Watson to me and bring about his downfall.
I contacted Kirk for permission to send one of our specialists on his pension ship (which he still hasn't named). He agreed. I gave instructions to the specialist to do whatever it took to take a data chip, which I gave him, and insert it into a terminal at the location.
When the specialist arrived, he noted that the location looked deserted. Inside, there was only one inhabitant, which he eliminated. He then found a compatible terminal and inserted the data chip.
Headquarters suddenly got a data dump on virtually everything stored at that data center. I had Essi look over everything with a focus on possible locations that Watson could operate from. It didn't take her long, and this information was sent to the fleet. The idea was to hit all these locations at the same time. Essi directed various ship groups in the fleet to their destinations.
Unfortunately, before they could set out, the Void had sent seemingly all of their remaining fleet to retake the station. It was also then that Watson attempted to hack Essi.
