The elven analyst worked silently at his own work desk, wearing a pair of special over-ear headphones made for elves as he listened to the many echoes of the data vault about the Void—perception and remarkable aural senses were necessary for an analyst, in turn making the tasks most fitting for the elves. Most Mycroft analysts were in fact elves, as their patience trained over their extended lifespan granted them suitable.
The data vault of the Void recon ship Dawn was not actually too full as it had been recalled under emergency circumstances not long after it had begun its journey. The elven analyst estimated that he could accomplish his task in around four to five days, after which he would be rewarded with incentives. In fact, each individual full analysis of a recon ship data vault completed was an incentive for analysts, which was why he enjoyed the task when it had not contained too much data.
