[ Amalthea will continue to keep searching through the records while listening to some of the song from Throné's headphones. ]
I had never thought about it before because I had been used to being the only one from this technological period for the past three months—or I suppose... What I remember of the last months... It's nice to know I am not alone.
[ She's polite to wait for the song in the headphones to end before playing this on the record player. ]
[she seems pleased to know amalthea has talked to temenos? this is silly but she really is constantly like i need to find temenos friends like he's some sort of antisocial toddler]
... What you remember of the last months? [she repeats, curiously, as she listens to the record player. pretty...] Have you been having memory problems too?
I do not think to the same extent as others who've seen the documents themselves, but they would share what happened during our meetings. Names... Summaries. [ Despite how this is a very strange thing, maybe worth extreme concern, she is calm. ] At times, as I try to recall what was discussed... Or what I believed was true, I do find myself recalling nothing.
... Do you know why this might be? [a beat.] There was a roster with people's names on it - I'd wondered if any of you remembered who these people are. Or if you remembered... well, the concerning video Temenos found.
[ Well, Amalthea can see the roster and I'll just pretend that Throné wrote out a summary of the video.
Her expression does twist when she looks at the first one where she needs a moment to close her eyes, then rub her temples. After a deep breath, she looks at the second one, which only has her tilt her head. ]
[ Our poor steam world people not knowing how to transfer data to their I.R.I.S... She keeps massaging her temples, but smiles. ]
There is a lot of pressure in my head, but this was still good to see with my very eyes. It may be better than watching Ganymede lift up pieces at our meetings.
[ And just inflicting that on all of them in the morning. ]
[ Still musing on her lingering headache. What Does It Mean? What should she do about it? Is it a Good Sign? A Bad Sign? If she prayed today, will God speak to her? ]
Yes. Most have been that, a couple about the things you've brought to us, and an appropriate amount ship maintenance.
[see, she would be good friends with temenos, she's a catholic]
Have you come to any conclusions on things? [...] The more that we investigate, the more that it seems like... you and the rest of the senior crew are as trapped as we are.
That is what it looks like, doesn't it. We're here... On this ship, lost together. [ For conclusions. ] While I don't know the purpose for sowing confusion, it is clear to the senior crew members that there's something wrong with us. It is not a helpful conclusion, but we must start somewhere.
[ ... ]
Do you think that seeing these documents will help us?
Then we are of the same mind. [ She smiles at her. ] Some of us are more resilient than others, to keep note. I'm but a maid and may need a delicate touch.
[ It's a little joke by tone. Amalthea doesn't think she has to be handled with a lot of care. DON'T BE SO SAD. ]
no subject
[ She'll take note of it for next time. ]
They did, though hesitant at first. I hope some day they return to it. [ Hmmm. ] What kind of music do you like?
no subject
[she smiles a bit! and then glances at the music, thinking.]
... I've found that I like what this place refers to as classical. But I do like to listen to anything.
[she fiddles with the... headphones? i'm too lazy to open the location page. however you play music in here, she's trying to figure out how to do it.]
no subject
[ She will give her credit before helping her with the headphones. It takes like a button and Amalthea is used to simpler technology by now. ]
Classical is also what I'm most used to... Along with folk and opera.
no subject
I suppose that makes sense. I think, by what you've told me, your home most aligns with what I'm used to.

[ Hm... She pauses in looking through the records. ]
Do you have these with you?
no subject
[and she'll show her this and this. they're papers she's written on.]

I see.
[ She does not see. ]

... Mm. It hurts you, too. [):]

I don't understand what's happening to all of you when you see these things. [sigh.] ... You have had... meetings?
no subject
... I thought it was just coincidence, but it seems like a sign. [ She's musing. ] We do. A lot of them lately.

Resilient doesn't mean pain doesn't bother you. [she says, just a touch pouty, but.] ... Alright, though. I'll keep it in mind.
no subject
Good, good... Though I do worry about what it could mean, if there are instead consequences. [ Pensive. ] We won't know until we try, I suppose.
