[naeddre]

Yes. A very small wizard infestation. [there was only one but that's too many]

[dropoffs]

[ does one really count as an infestation ]



Forgive me but. What is a "wizard"?

[naeddre]

[yes]

One of those... men with the pointy star hats that cast magic. [ig i should've called him a tiny scholar but it's too late now so she just saw this in a book ok ok]

[dropoffs]

[ i'm sure there's a romance book with wizards ]

Ah, a Mage. However, there should not be anyone on board outside my and your crew. Where did you see them?

[naeddre]

[SHE READS OTHER BOOKS but yeah u right]

I suppose so. Though he didn't look like a scholar of any type. He looked ridiculous.

The cargo bay.

[dropoffs]

Scholars do tend to lean towards a more studious garb from what I remember.

This is from the night before I take?

[naeddre]

Yes, it is.

We found something in the wreckage, too.

[dropoffs]

Should I be concerned?

[naeddre]

I don't think so, unless it's much more sinister than I thought. It was a journal, but it did mention you and Thebe.

[dropoffs]

METIS has read the message.

[ It takes a few minutes before a message comes in. ]

Charles requested my presence today and did show me a journal log.. is that the very same?

[naeddre]

[I FORGOT MY HTML]

Yes, I imagine it must be, since Charles and I found it together. Do you know anything about it?

[dropoffs]

[ i snatched it away ]

I am afraid I don't. Looking it over, though it mentions me by name.. I do not recall it.

[naeddre]

You don't... recall it?

What does that mean? Is there a gap in your memory?

[dropoffs]

I am not sure. In all my years, as well as these three months on the Eudora, I have never had trouble recalling details.

I saw the photo with Thebe in it, but the other people... none of them seems familiar. It's... strange.

[naeddre]

You understand that it's also concerning, yes?

Do you remember who trained you? I had assumed it was this person.

[dropoffs]

It's possible my thoughts are a bit scattered from all the overworking I've been doing these past weeks..

I do remember. The one who trained me was the previous Chief of Staff.

[naeddre]

Do you remember who they are? What their name was?

I doubt it's overworking, but if it is, you should relax.

[dropoffs]

Ah, Callsign Sailor Mouth.

I cannot imagine anyone can relax with everything that's happened so far, much less I. Our tasks today may be done, but there is the departure to prepare for and other things that require my attention. I'll give it some thought, however.

[naeddre]

Callsign Sailor Mouth?

[she says this with enough stank for the IRIS to pick up the italics]

... Give it more thought than that. [:squeak:]

[dropoffs]

Yes?

[ Listen. ]

Certainly. ...When I have time.

[ Workworkworkwork. ]
