he'll let io examine it but he's also passing over this.]
Adrastea said I oughta show you the first part of this. See about putting names to faces. I've got a roster, if you want it.
[ well ok give me this big arm, they're looking it over with a hum, brow furrowed a bit where it's broken. they don't quite touch, rather hover since they don't want to hurt it or anything. ]
Don't make me drag you by your ear to the medbay... looks alright for now... does it hurt still?
[ they'll take that thank you very much and lean back against the tree, humming. It seems fine while they read, tilting their head a bit...
Then, there's a sudden noise as they're reading, something kind of stifled. ]
Gloriana... That's... that's her... with the red hair.

Suspenseful stories are not my bread and butter. And my name... it's something you'll have in time. For now, focus on the others. Their names. Their places in our collective heart...
-yeah. Don't you worry about that. I know how it is.

She... taught me how to work alongside her on the medical team. [ pausing the log now. ] She was my boss.

[affection week strikes again-- gregor quietly takes hold of one of his hands.]
You remember anything else about her?
[honestly, less to dig, and more to let him talk about her if he wants.]
no subject
We matched for a time... after I got this on a mission. I remember. She had to help me get used to it. Had a goddamn peg for a leg.
Her callsign was Jolly Roger. Like a pirate.

[his is literally tattooed on his damn arm.
he is quietly thinking about io just knowing a bunch of pirates, technically... one of the alternate gregors is a pirate...]

[ no idea basically. and their jaw clenches, because it really does bother them. ]
If it has anything to do with what is going on here... nothing good, I imagine...
no subject
Mm. Yeah, probably not.
...if we can just figure out more about what exactly is going on here, maybe that'll help.
no subject
Seeing them... even having a name to see on the roster at the same time. I feel like I can make some connections a bit at a time.
Wonder if whoever's in the video with Thebe and Thea works with either of them. Science Department or Hydroponics?
