Athena brings you a shell

"I'm back!" You hear the voice of Athena shout, forcing you from your slumber.

You stand up to see Athena enter the room. Her ghost floats around her and on the in front of you a small, white box with rounded edges materializes. You see a round and cracked glass screen.

"Here is your ghost!" Athena cheers.

"It is a fairly old ghost shell, types like these are assigned to scavenger fireteams." The ghost floats close to your face. "I figured it is just the type for you."

"Calm down, buddy." Athena says in a slow and calm manner.

You lift the ghost and take it over to your workspace. "Why is it so much bigger than you?"

"That is an obvious answer... It's size is part of what allowed these shells to hold so many materials while processing data. Normal shells like me have to trade processing power for storage."

"I see." You says as you open the hollow shell. "You guys are good to go, I'd just like to focus for now."

"I'll be outside." Athena says, her ghost dematerializes.

Some time passes of complete silence as you observe the inner workings of the ghost. You copy down the similarities between the technology in the ghost and the Exodus Black. You were surprised at how many you found.

"John?"

"Yes, Failsafe."

"I have noticed Athena's ghost is quite aggressive towards you. Have you done anything to provoke it?"

"Not that I am aware of."

"Perhaps it has something to do with Athena's feelings towards you." Failsafe says, prompting a chuckle out of you.

Another long time goes by before another word is spoken.

"John? Have you figured out a way to transfer me into the shell?"

"I don't even think I'm close."

"Of course." Failsafe says with a gloomy tone.

The rest of the night went on in a similar fashion until you fall asleep and collapsed onto your workspace.
