[[Message Body:]]

[color=#FF6666]There is an inherent truth, that humanity is slowly destroying itself. Suffice to say, there are some amongst humanity that shine forward as something more... open minds, ready to see the truth of Sirius and even Gallia, the truth that there is something greater.

Pardon me for sounding like a religious zealot, however it is not a religion I preach. It is a concept that takes time to explain. It is this concept that you feel at a 'gut' level, a concept that drives you to seek understanding.

Further detail will have to wait. It is taking much effort to transmit at this range, and as a result this channel is not as secure as I would wish. Be on guard, after you take the first steps towards discernment, it is not a path you can abandon.

Embedded within the text-only message is a thought. One word, invisible to Gerald Lucas, invisible to any programs that might scan it. It impresses itself on his subconscious though, as the AI that controls the ship and transmissions feels it fitting that the man seeking should have another hint.

"Tundra."
