Right now? Making sure all of your hard work actually sticks, after yesterday. We were running and triggering debugs allthe way up to things going haywire and so much of it got out of hand anyways. But I usually start my mornings looking over life support and making sure everything is good to go there. Diagnosing anything the ship needs checked over. Sending things to different officers if it's in their departments to go over.
[ re: someone told me i should ask for galley access, but if you still need a hand can we cover both? ]
IO
Yes, if you would like access to the kitchens I can do just that. If you would like to help with the last of the stock, that would be helpful.
[ and just like that there is a little ping that will show shoma to the galley door where io is waiting, a hover pallet just vibing beside them and holding some crates. 'sup. ]
[ imagine if I said no and he just never showed. but the ping gets his attention and he'll follow. as he approaches, roboji wheels along behind him without shoma giving it much thought, and soon he stops to glance at the crates and at io. ]
surprise, shoma. not only does the euduora announce a lockdown, while you and roboji are out and about, but
you have company, as both ganymede and europa stand there. ganymede's posture is ramrod straight, and their emotions - while seeming like they're coming from underwater, muffled as they are - seem deeply bemused. ]
... I don't think Adrastea would trigger the security auto-scan. Europa? [ looking their way. and then at shoma. hm. ]
what the fuck? listen sometimes you get super focused on what you're doing (brooding. maintenance. staring into the void. whatever.) and you lose track of time. he had been on his way out and back to his room when the announcement goes off.
well. shit.
but he soon picks up on emotions that aren't his own and he looks up, pausing in the hall with roboji as he looks at the two senior crew members. also. how tall are they compared to him? i know this means fuckall given how short he is but i'm nosy. ]
Do...you guys not actually tell each other when you do your jobs?
okay you guys canNOT tell me that was just a bug in the system. diagnostics...? how long are those shields going to be up?
amalthea's written up an explanation that i'm going to share with you - sorry, we're in and out as we try to figure out what the hell is going on. the shields are up until tomorrow, either because we've gotten an answer of what happened to dahut or because we're going to be roping in you guys. io's going to be trying to figure out what happened to mr. pearce, because his death happened before we were all unconscious and dahut's was after. we don't have a protocol for this so we're flying by the seat of our pants right now.
Normally, Nut & Bolt ships will start a lockdown to scan for abnormalities during a lengthy space jump. Abnormalities are rare, but scans are necessary. The lockdown itself keeps certain features online, some stay offline to siphon energy to necessary parts. Lockdown lasts until the morning of the next day and can be prolonged with full permissions.
The one we had experienced is not the norm. It was unscheduled and we did not make a space jump. Through deduction, it means that it was a malfunction or that there was an abnormality found within the ship.
While we were stuck in different areas without communication, we attempted an override command, but it had failed. It would seem that two met their demise sometime between the lockdown and when we all woke up from being incapacitated. It is normally meant to sedate the threat. Senior crew are incapacitated later and wake earlier than junior crew, so they are expected to incarcerate or expel it.
For now, we have ejected everyone who had stayed in suspicious areas, then locked those areas to preserve the scene with cryofreeze to investigate later. The shields will prevent any warmth or heat from interacting with anything found within.
...well some of this i saw for myself so it's believable a few people mentioned luke died before we all fell unconscious some people have mentioned dahut didn't look great either earlier this week what does..."roping us in" mean in this case?
bats534 emojis, amalthea???I read that emoticons are a good vehicle to indicate tone in text communications. As I was folding the laundry, I had wondered about the messages that could not be easily described by the emoticons we have currently.
[ I guess they are... somewhere.... For Shoma to see them. Their physical effect is being swaddled by a really comfortable snuggie and a large enchanted hood. ]
[ Where can be Europa found? Well, at the moment in the combat room, though they seem to be finishing up with a spear in one hand and their helmet under their other arm. There's wisps of black smoke emanating from their body thanks to our lovely week effect.
Their wings twitch behind their back when they see Shoma appear, but they keep a leveled expression that is neutral and regard him. They offer no words just a light nod. Hello. ]
[ hi? he actually pauses once he seems to register that europa truly is just exposing their face for god and everyone. and then also eyeballing the spear. ]
Suddenly I can see why weaponry was your first thought during the first lockdown. [ he seems equally neutral at least. ]
[ help, idk where shoma wants to be so you can be spoiled and have two options. they can be found outside so i guess we're winter now and can be outside the ship and prepared to go out and grab plant samples (or go wherever shoma wants rly).
or if you prefer, maybe for shoma's sake bc idk if he wants to actually go out in snow, io can also be coming back in, shaking off some snow from their shoulders. as they do, there is a very distinct off-beat guh-thnk in their walk, more off-cadence. but either way, upon seeing shoma, they'll give a short nod. the have a hat and scarf on, but some tired eyes are looking out between their hat and scarf at shoma in either. wintertime... ]
[ winter time... he is here in a jacket and zero sense of self-preservation right now because he wants off the ship. everyone is crazy. but he blinks up at this man for a moment as he seems to consider what he's seeing. why are you all just suddenly hanging with your faces out?
but this actually makes him more amendable, so there's a light smile. ]
There's only so much of the ship a guy can take, winter or no. Were you heading out to keep grabbing samples? [ walkies? walkies for them? ]
well it's comforting that you agree it's a piece of junk by now do we have any leads on why we couldn't bring the barrier down yesterday when eunhyuk started fighting rosamund?
[ huh. i was right, wild. anyway STOP NOBODY ACTUALLY DIED HERE THEY JUST FOUGHT HERE. he just...happened to ping...it is fine. he has boba. ]
Oh. [ he will stop being surprised by their faces eventually. ] Hi. I...know this probably isn't warranted, but in light of everything I wanted to check in.
[ he has other reasons for requesting to see her but this comes first. ]
[ io is just sitting here in the medbay writing in a journal while people are getting their literal fix inside of the pods. there's a steady metallic noise, the sound of them just bouncing their metal leg as they work, though it pauses when they see shoma from the corner of their eye, having gotten that ping (as if they ever leave......)
[ slipping into the medbay...he's definitely eyeing the pods curiously, hoping they're occupied by the people who need them most and he approaches quietly. the metal hand flexes and curls its fingers as he folds his arms over his chest, glancing at the journal curiously. ]
i'm glad that they're resting at least but okay. i can meet you at the observation deck if that's easier? or if you have somewhere else that's better for you
hey. if you had time i wanted to talk to you about that decrypted video temenos and i brought to you guys...if that's okay?
It is. I've also finished the full decryption of it, if you'd like me to send it to you. There's additional footage that was cutting out, at the end, that's been repaired.
[ WHO ARE YOU CALLING A NERD? anyways Metis will come along to the front of the hotel, ears perking up as he catches sight of him. ]
Ask and you shall receive, Shoma!
[ anyways it's affection week and Shoma is kinda smol so Metis is coming up to scoop up briefly just so they are CLOSE ENOUGH FOR a hug and a gentle bunt of their heads together. Get cat bunt'd nerd. He will set him down right after, smiling energetically. ] Now then, what shall we do first?
anyway it is affection week so normally he'd protest, but it's fine? he actually laughs and allows for the cat bunt because sometimes you have a fav. ]
Good to see you're feeling better. [ invisible tailwag again. ] There's a lot out there. I thought we could walk and see what catches our interest and go from there. I read the dossier before we landed. Maybe the race track? Or the mall?
[ we have timetraveled. anyway, he does not reply but he does go and find her in the lounge, taking a seat across from her before sliding her a to-go cup filled with tea. ]
Hi. It's...been a really long morning, huh? [ understatement. ] How're you feeling?
[ and not longer after that, thebe will pop out, ready to go! they slide a jacket on as they head out of the building, giving shoma an easy wave. ]
This place definitely feels a little like home. Minus... the huge population of aliens from all over, but uh... [ a nervous smile ] heh. I can roll with it.
[ baby girl. he waves back, bouncing on the balls of his feet a little with his hands in his pockets. ]
Hey, if the aliens get too weird, we'll just book it. [ why is the answer "run away"... regardless! ] Some of them can't be any worse than some of the people we've got on the crew anyway. What do you think? Do you wanna walk and see what looks fun? Or should we pick one of the highlights and check it out?
i'm trying to take care of her the best i can and other people are looking after blade and anise i'm sure but i'm more concerned about you right now are you okay? where are you? they're all rotating through the pods i think so if you need to take a little time to heal before things get locked down
hm...when it's this late i'm usually in the library or the aquarium or something but i've been working for a while we can grab a snack or something and go from there food court?
[ he will head that way. why are you both up actually. i suppose that's like asking why hei and i are both up so you know what that is acceptable. ]

how long are those shields going to be up?
amalthea's written up an explanation that i'm going to share with you - sorry, we're in and out as we try to figure out what the hell is going on.
the shields are up until tomorrow, either because we've gotten an answer of what happened to dahut or because we're going to be roping in you guys.
io's going to be trying to figure out what happened to mr. pearce, because his death happened before we were all unconscious and dahut's was after.
we don't have a protocol for this so we're flying by the seat of our pants right now.
