[ she's quiet, as she thinks about how to word this. trying to reach into what she can remember. ]
... we originally thought it was because they were taking their promotion seriously, but I can't exactly trust my memories of more idyllic things as we work our way through the haze. But they were far more friendly, before. Less abrasive and more empathetic.
[ he nods, slightly - reaching into his pockets to pull out his notebook and taking out a pen to write things down somewhere in the middle. ]
That's alright. Every bit helps, though I may question you about it again, once some time has passed. You understand. [ there's a brief quirk of a smile there, blink and you'll miss it. ]
Would you call them angrier, now? Is it consistent? Or does it fade in and out?
[ eyes fluttering open again, whirring as they refocus. it's almost affectionate? ]
Their behavior is consistent. I wouldn't necessarily call them angrier, but they aren't particularly friendly. Many, I imagine, would accuse Europa of similar behavior, but they're our oldest by far more than centuries, and much of it was spent isolating themself from mankind to keep them safe. They're simply... unaccustomed to it.
No, and the seven remaining of us have all taken our helmets off around one another. Even those whose wetware is less pleasing to look at, underneath. I've told them to take it off and they haven't.

... When did the abrasive behavior start, if you can remember? This tour, or before?

[ ... frowning. ]
No. I can't pinpoint the change. Before you all got here, but I'm not sure how long before.

Callisto is uncaring.

[ hmmmmmmm.... ]
Have you seen them without their helmet since this tour began?

Well, that's not suspicious at all.

I'm a moment away from tying them down myself.
