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.
When the Eudora does a space jump, it goes into lockdown to scan for any anomalies in the system and to ensure that passengers are safe, which is common procedure. We didn't have one scheduled because the distance between us and the next planet is negligible for a ship this size. Lockdowns are used for longer jumps, for moving to different galaxies, not shorter trips where we were moving within the galaxy.
Short jumps, if they happen, are usually just non-essential functions going into low power, not the entire damned ship locking all of us in place and locking us out of the system. Even the security monitoring was deactivated, which meant we - specifically, I couldn't see what was going on in any area of the ship. The other officers were also locked in place, and communications were completely disabled.
We tried to override the lockdown, which should have worked because all 8 of us attempted it. That's a failsafe built in place. But we were denied by the system itself. It means there's a deeper problem, or an abnormality was in fact found by the ship. For our supposed safety, everyone was incapacitated. Senior crew is sedated later and awakens earlier than junior crew in an attempt to assess, contain, or apprehend the problem.
Except the only thing we could do first was make sure everyone in an area that needed locked down could be removed, and close them off with cryofreeze to ensure that nothing was tampered with as we try to figure out what in the hell is going on.
[ he's just reading all this because wow that's either a huge fuck up or
or. ]
To cut it down to size then -- either this technological fuck up is beyond what you first thought and extends to the core of the ship itself, or there's something on the ship dangerous enough that it felt the need to lock everything down and sedate everyone.
And if that's the case, whatever that thing is is still out there and still managed to kill two people despite all that.

One. Pearce died in one of the locked down locations with a group of people as witness, before we were incapacitated. Io is looking into what caused it to happen. Dahut died separately and of unnatural causes while the ship was supposed to be in lockdown.
We don't know who or what did it. Just that he didn't end the night where he started. All access should be revoked during a lockdown like this, so unless his and someone/thing else's credentials were excluded from the two crew groups, there should have been no movement.
But Dahut was something else entirely? And despite all that, he was able to move around. Do the doors use our nanites for things like this? Like -- could you lock a door specifically to one person, but someone else could pass through with no problem?
they move on. can't really do anything for her right now except provide shu information. ]
It's how you all can get in and out of the galley, when you have access. We can update your credentials based on a location like that. But it's meant to log who exits and enters in that scenario - it's how we hold you accountable for cleaning up after yourselves, stupid things like that. But there's no logs of that from last night after 0030 hours.
[ pixi just swinging. also aki swinging at dana help who allowed him death this early??? ]
So that’s a yes on the creepy nanite stuff. Even down to the tracking.
What’s the likelihood of the nanites doing something weird? Going on the fritz and making people act in ways they wouldn’t? And don’t say zero, we already know the tech here isn’t doing what you expected it to do after last night.
When I've agreed that it was invasive, I meant down to that point, yes.
The chances are meant to be zero. They're not supposed to be able to influence you, they're a passive presence rather than an active one overall. But now we're here, and you, Mistral, and I are leveling out onto the same page over this particular problem where something has gone very wrong with some aspect of the ship or nanites. Because if Dahut was a victim, and someone/thing was pursuing him, the ship didn't isolate it. It gave them free reign and movement.
That so? I know it's been mentioned they augment healing, but-- [ OOFA DOOFA. ] Does the ship have the capacity to decide to just give someone free reign, or did someone hack it?

The rundown, in full, is this:
When the Eudora does a space jump, it goes into lockdown to scan for any anomalies in the system and to ensure that passengers are safe, which is common procedure. We didn't have one scheduled because the distance between us and the next planet is negligible for a ship this size. Lockdowns are used for longer jumps, for moving to different galaxies, not shorter trips where we were moving within the galaxy.

[ there's a long pause from shu's end as well, before he replies: ]
Yeah, I just ran into Throné. [ which is honestly self explanatory. if they know the group of witnesses, at least. ]
But Dahut was something else entirely? And despite all that, he was able to move around. Do the doors use our nanites for things like this? Like -- could you lock a door specifically to one person, but someone else could pass through with no problem?

Mm. [ all they need to say to the throné thing.
