They were selected for it and got a message they were going on one Tuesday night, as did I as the senior officer, but I'm fairly certain none of them told anyone. But none of us actually remember how we got onto the ship so I don't think we really had a choice in the matter.
We left today, so they knew they were going on an off-planet mission a few days in advance. I think it was Kazuki and Todomatsu that weren't going to agree to it - don't really blame them, they're more normal compared to the other two.
No, Io, it's fine [ their voice to text is on ] They just didn't have the full details, and neither did I. I went into it thinking it was a normal thing to have happen.
Which it's not, by the way. None of this is normal. And now my wetware is blown out.
They weren't picked by me, that's for sure. I'd honestly have just taken the other two and left it at that. [ that's the end of that for a moment before they answer again. ]
It's hard to explain, my brain's. Foggy. But they're not normal in that we shouldn't be treating them like they are even if the schedule treats them as routine.
I lost my eyes on a mission. So I have cybernetic replacements - wetware.
[ leave the normies on the ship and let them live their normie lives tbh. ]
Not especially, no. But none of you deserve getting dragged even further into it if these start happening with more frequency. We don't even know what happened with the group before we came back, the one in the galley. That wasn't a mission.
[ lol! lmao even! ]
Half blind, and you're the only one I'm telling in the passengers. I'm fine, Io's recalibrating them, and I'll spend a little time in the pods during lockdown.
Europa mentioned that before I went to medbay. I don't think you would get one for a mission, unless the craft needed to make an emergency landing. If an anomaly happened with that group...
Ugh.
Secret. Not so pretty right now, anyways, during recalibrating. I'll show you when I'm all cleaned up if it'll keep you from worrying too much.
[ yeah this is just our brand. (chanting) wreck them wreck them wreck them ]
So something else intervened? Potentially not from the ship if it felt it had to warn us something had happened?
[ the ship? being useful? shock. ]
Mm. Do. If there are any issues I can always help bluff people noticing your down half your vision, but it sounds like this isn’t your first time recalibrating.
Technically speaking, she did alert the crew. Eventually. It was just all the juniors.
… Alright. If Io’s working on then that’s someone to check in and make sure you heal up enough. [ looks at everyone tumbling out of healing pods in an hour like this is enough ]

Too many things.
... they had it bad.

That's looking like dodgy interference. Again.

That's a... choice. They really are just normal people. How did you even pick them for a mission...?
Missions aren't the norm around here? [ wetware?! ] And your what.

Is anything on this ship normal anymore?
… …. [ jesus ok ] So… essentially you’re blind right now.
[ ffs. ]

oocly, the normies, braying for blood: ]
There was some kind of alert before the first group came back. Something about abnormalities? We didn’t get that when your group came back.
Secret then. Got it.

It isn't the first time, no, but not to this degree. I'll be fine with it in lower power, and I'll spend time in the pods tonight to make sure.
