This time your Strike Fighter warps out into null-space outside The grid. You are free of the sophisticated trap laid for you by the wardroids of Mechanon. When you type in the coordinates for Mechanon 1986 AD you re-emerge outside the factory planet's dull red atmosphere smoothly and normally. Numerous satellites are in orbit below you but a moving blip on your radar screen draws your attention. CAIN puts it onto the visual scanners and you see that a large hyper-drive starship is leaving Mechanon. You ask CAIN to compute its likely destination and after a moment it chimes, 'Earth, Falcon, Earth 1986, with a probability of 93%. Proxima Centauri, probability of 6.3%, and Ceres, probability of 0.39%. Other probabilities exist.' Will you:
Gun your ship to hyper-drive velocity and jump to Earth 1986? | Turn to 359 |
Ignore the starship and head for Mechanon and the Central Computer Complex? | Turn to 325 |
