379 Kyle's Plight

Seeing the contents of this first mission, Jake immediately blamed the Oracle System for its shamelessness. This mission was practically there to force him to take a detour.

Even so, he knew that the Coaching feature existed to best serve his interests. If he was assigned such a mission, it meant that his comrades were in danger. As a faction leader it was his responsibility to take care of his subordinates.

Therefore, instead of rushing to the command room at the front of the ship as he had originally intended, he branched off in the opposite direction, with his Shadow Guide showing him the way to his closest comrade.

The corridors were unusually quiet and empty, but there was no sign of anything wrong. After a few turns and a stairway, he came to a door with the number 96 and knocked unscrupulously.

A few seconds later, Jake heard footsteps, followed by a latch being removed and the door opened slightly, revealing the face of a cautious but mostly embarrassed Kyle.
