Waiting

[Over the days following the last mission to La Gias, Kei took an unusual interest in things like news reports, information coming in from the various groups sponsoring Unity Group and similar. More specifically she was looking into any reports about whether the two surviving Glory Stars had been found.]

Who was that man? Dr. Shirakawa seems to have had contact with him in the past, but he's not here now...Maybe there'd be notes at his hideout?

I do not think any part of La Gias counted as safe in the circumstances you were in. This is why I do not think she is there.

...She might be in an entirely different place. Maybe not even on Earth.

[majestic_keiki]

Maybe you're right, but I'm not sure the place was that dangerous.

And if they aren't on Earth, it could be impossible to find them.

[abugslife]

I will not lie; the probability that they went MIA permanently is not zero.

But it is not very large, either. Only a few days have passed so far; the average time spent looking for missing soldiers until they are found is much longer than that.

[majestic_keiki]

And they would go somewhere safe...A random asteroid or the far side of Pluto isn't safe. So they're probably just somewhere nobody has looked yet.

[abugslife]

How good is our contact with remote colonies? It is not impossible that they ended up on one of them.

[majestic_keiki]

I'm not entirely sure...But a lot of them are under threat from the Wulgaru, giants and so on.

[abugslife]

Thus making communication with them more difficult, on matters not directly related to these threats.

I believe one of these remote locations is where they might have ended up.

[majestic_keiki]

It wouldn't be very safe...But they'd probably report unexpected reinforcements eventually.
