Akira's POV
This has never happened before. Every previous delivery had been in clean system text, I was always ready for the information being provided.
This one appeared differently… the same pale blue, the same clean lines, but the text beneath the header running in a cipher I did not have the key for. Blocks of symbols arranged in the system's format, structured like language, recognisable as information, completely inaccessible.
[Mission Classification: Origin Level — Encrypted.]
[Decryption requirement: Host advancement to threshold. Current status: insufficient.]
[Partial preview available. Warning: preview contains risk parameters.]
I stared at it.
Then I pressed the partial preview.
Three lines appeared beneath the cipher, the only three the system would give me until I hit the threshold it was waiting for.
The first; The threat to Dune is not the gate network.
The second; The convergence point is a person.
