With Draiss hurt, any risk was a bad one, or at least that was what X1 said. And after the mauling the fleet had taken, it was an open question how many had survived, let alone what their condition was. For all they knew, they were the best off group to make it back, tough as it was to imagine that. Reaper agreed after a brief pause of reflection, though to an organic listening it would have sounded like Reaper had agreed almost immediately, rather than offering a reflective pause first. However, there WAS a way around it, and it offered to hit another relay, further away, broadcast the encrypted message, get more maps, and continue outward toward what they hoped was a safe haven.<br/><br/>While none of the maps had matched what was in their limited storage, there was a couple similar geological features that might have been a match a long while back. The issue was how long they had been gone now, as well as where the hell were they. Still, sitting around discussing it wasn't solving their issues, so Reaper set out again, intent on hitting several relays, eventually, though it hoped enemy analysis would conclude Reaper was a lost, solo unit trying to figure out where it was and contact others. It even had a new encryption code, cleverly based on one of the oldest and newest ones. Running it with both decryption keys would result in the actual message, but running it with only one or the other would simply offer a message similar to what it wanted to be mistaken as. The clever part was the unencrypted message, which actually listed the two encryption keys in it. While some of the AIs might miss it, most would eventually get the real message.
