((Re: "slightly older": "slightly" being "several years")
"I wouldn't mind knowing wh-who I be sharing this d-data with, b-but..." Saoirse stutters, as she presses the needed buttons to send the data package to Serava Dai. "...if it weren't for ye, w-we'd be bloody p-paste, so... F-fair's fair, I g-guess."
As Serava Dai receives the data package, she grows motionless, as though she's reading the contents on the interior of her helmet's HUD. Then she nods. "Thank you. If the event is half as important as you say, it'll probably make up for the failed objectives when I present this to my superiors. As to who we are..." An image appears on Saoirse's PDA screen of an emblem or insignia: three mountains under a darkening sky and a setting sun. "We're a branch of The Twilight. My superiors may have questions for you in the future."
In the meantime, Buck has finished his hack. The PDA is certainly Tartarus-made - what he can find is clearly Tartarus-signed. Not only that, seems a standard make - albeit an entirely different model than any he's seen. Unfortunately, the shock to the disc has made it virtually unreadable via hack; the only information that he can glean is fragmented binary data. It might become useful in the future, but for the time being, with only the equipment he presently has available... there's just not that much he can get out of it.
Saoirse remembers something."Ah! B-before I forget - while we w-were fighting earlier - t-there was a large explosion - do ye know what t-that was?"
The commander shakes her head. "It wasn't anything I or my soldiers did. I'd suspect it was the Minas Maniri trying to kill each other, quite probably using induced cave-ins. A view of the station from the outside might reveal more."
At that moment, Saoirse's PDA buzzes: A message flashes across the screen: lines and lines of bright green scrambled nonsense characters, many of which the PDA doesn't even seem capable of displaying properly. In fact, Buck sees the same thing - as does anyone else presently holding their PDA.
