I Have No Idea What I have No Idea About

New Lork was in worse shape than Trezlan would have figured from the debris above. The actual planet which was never exactly a lush paradise or even really sustainable, was now a barren desert swept with ruins. Nothing lived there, not even loose scavengers. Trezlan could feel the sense of abandonment in every structure and burned out wreck he was exploring. In a testament to how ruined the planet was, he had to wear a rebreather because the oxygen on the planet was mostly depleted.

"Sir far be it from me to question our mission here." SiC had insisted on coming along despite Trezlan saying he could handle things himself, the AI still was over protective of their leader.

"You think we won't find anything of use here."

"I think we don't even know what it is we are looking to find here sir."

"This is true, but at the same point we don't know what we are looking for, so if we find something, we may have found what we were looking for."

"That makes no sense."

"And yet it's how I've lived my life SiC." The AI reported back to the ship and despite the logic not lining up at all, the results did, so they allowed Trezlan his moment. And the hunt continued, Trezlan not knowing where he was going, the AI in the ship overhead trying to scan for literally anything to discover and subtly direct him towards wrecks and ruins. Probability of discovering what they had been sent to find, was 1.5%
