[ Here they are, politely with their hands clasped at the front. It looks like they are ready to work. There is no arch, by the way, so where are they. ]
[ Where are they, Shu. In any case, Metis is here, but seems quite busy indicated by the data pad held under one arm and their other hand swiping along the glow of their I.R.I.S. ]
I do apologize for working as we meet, but what can I assist you with, Mr. O'keefe?
[ yeah no arch, we oopsied. but adrastea is seated at the bar, an empty glass with a straw in it next to their elbow as they sit with their I.R.I.S. up and a datapad that they're swiping through on the bartop.
they don't look up from what they're doing, but seem to be aware that he's there. ]
[ our bad. anyways thebe is vibing in the observation lounge, spread out on a couch, draped in their magenta jacket. they're taking a moment to themselves to play clan gen on their i.r.i.s. when shu meets them. ]
Taking the words right out of my mouth. Which isn't going to be exactly great for you to hear. It's not great for me to say because this is hellish. Security systems went down the moment that the lockdown hit, because apparently this useless hunk of metal doesn't believe that that's an important system to keep up and running so we can monitor what happens on board. We were locked in where we were, too, and our attempt to override the system was denied. Which isn't suppose to happen. Ever.
... So you're saying that not only did we all get locked in without warning, because apparently that's a thing that happens we didn't get warned about, the lockdown also overrode all security protocols so you don't even know what happened last night or why two people are dead.
[ honestly adrastea runs into him while he's got his gawdy tw*light book, whether it's on the planet or he's coming back on board the ship. because it's funny. ]
When we talked about what to do if one of us died, trying to speedrun the whole process wasn't implied.
I always love a little extra excitement for my day, don't you? It wasn't planned to turn out the way it did. Routine mission to clear up a spatial anomaly that was in the Eudora's scheduled path for the next galaxy, which turned pear-shaped very fast. I'll live. It's the other four that took the worst of it. Keep an eye on Kazuki for me?
[ There will be a ping for the combat room regarding their location, in which Europa will be found waiting. There's wisps of black smoke emanating from their body thanks to our lovely week effect with arms crossed.
When Shu enters, they address him with a nod, their helmet hanging up near them as well as a dark spear leaning beside it. ]
[ Once they enter the library, they will find a familiar red sitting at one of the many grand tables. Settled on it is a data pad, left unused, with various books and actual physical journals as the Senior Crew pours over it writing away.
Beside them is a staff set against the table, with a small bag placed against a stack of books. Though their helmet is off to join their things, there is still a hood pulled over that's seen as their head raises. ] O’Keefe, 'tis good to see you, my friend.
[ as the doors close, adrastea watches them before looking around to see if anyone pops out of any of the show rooms or from behind the concession stand. when no one does, she - turns, pointing to her helmet and then pointing to a camera up in the corner near the ceiling, and then reaches up, taking off her helmet and shaking her head to get rid of her helmet hair. ]
Alright, looks like things paid off for a quiet night.
[ adrastea is moving slowly, but surely, as she makes her way into the mega park's northern area. she doesn't pay much attention to the ice cream trucks, frankly - and is rubbing along the crease of one of her eyes tiredly. the intake foci pinch, expand, whirr, before finally settling at their normal pupil level for just. basic ass regular lighting.
I feel like these references and jokes aren't nearly as funny when I have to look them up. No, we were just as surprised as you to get the urgent dossier update as we made planetfall. Well. I was skeptical about us making it to HQ, but I'm tired of plants.
Consider it me helping you with your cultural education. No word from that Jeff guy? If he was expecting us he might be kinda worried one of his ships up and vanished.
