For this reason, she ordered the Star Speakers on the ships—also psychics who had undergone special training—to try and make contact with "Quintet."
However, the Star Speakers brought her some rather bad news: they couldn't get in touch with "Quintet."
Star speech messages had been sent out, but there was no response.
This situation deepened Wang Jiarong's anxiety even further.
There were only two reasons for the lack of contact: either their star speech messages were being blocked and intercepted, preventing transmission, or "Quintet" was unable to receive their messages.
Neither scenario was good news.
It took some time for a ship to come out of warp and resume regular sub-light speed travel, as it needed time to accelerate its engines.
She now only hoped that this acceleration process would pass quickly, which is why she had repeatedly urged the Mechanical Priest in charge of the engines.
