you do, but i wouldn't be surprised if you already know more than i'd give. where do you want to meet? i'd rather do this talk in person.
do you want weaponry? need to unpack weaponry? want to talk about weaponry? would you rather we talk in person?

hi, these nanites are killing me. not literally. i don't think anyone likes this.
I do sincerely apologize, unfortunately while aboard the nanites are mandatory during this tour to make not only the work easier but to keep you safe in turn. Is there something more specific about them that troubles you?

it's kind of awkward. plus, i get the feeling that this isn't exactly an emotionally comfortable group, so some people will probably be on the verge of running away screaming?
[also charles has technically told so many lies this weekend alone to keep his identity under wraps and now he has to work extra hard to maintain them.]
on a separate note, isabel might've already hit you guys up, but is there anything you can do about getting them a sidon-sized bed for their room?

[ in person... im so special jk anyways io is pinged to the galley, though they are already on their way there. as they enter, behind them is a hefty hover pallet of some fresh produce ready to be stowed away for the consumption of the crew.
they give a nod to charles and nudge the door shut as they enter. ]
How goes it?

I don't know how this all happened. And I wish I had answers to give you, but.. I do not. You do not have to trust my word for it but we're working on it as best we can.

you're right that i can't take your word for it just on the principle of the matter, though i don't have any reason to outright accuse you of lying right now.
any guesses to how we blacked out?

what happened last night?
Hello.
Normally, Nut & Bolt ships will start a lockdown to scan for abnormalities during a lengthy space jump. Abnormalities are rare, but scans are necessary. The lockdown itself keeps certain features online, some stay offline to siphon energy to necessary parts. Lockdown lasts until the morning of the next day and can be prolonged with full permissions.
The one we had experienced is not the norm. It was unscheduled and we did not make a space jump. Through deduction, it means that it was a malfunction or that there was an abnormality found within the ship. While we were stuck in different areas without communication, we attempted an override command, but it had failed.
It would seem that two met their demise sometime between the lockdown and when we all woke up. Incapacitation is normally meant to sedate the threat. Senior crew are incapacitated later and wake earlier than junior crew, so they are expected to incarcerate or expel the problem, but upon checking the scan results of yesterday's lockdown nothing was found yet two are dead.
For now, we have ejected everyone who had stayed in suspicious areas, then locked those areas to preserve the scene with cryofreeze to investigate later. The shields will keep the areas in cryostasis and prevent anything from tampering with the areas.
Do you have any questions?

well, i can guess when luke met his demise, since it was right in front of us.
what kind of abnormality or malfunction would trigger a lockdown?

[ It takes some time, but eventually Metis does show up to the Stasis Bay. Though clouded, foggy, like emotions buried underwater, there's the sensation of simmering alarm, uncertainty, and self-doubt. ]
Charles. Is there something you need assistance with?
[ Their helm tilts the slightest fraction towards the rest of the bay, however, keep their attention on him otherwise. ]

[charles's vibes are controlled.]
Well, this probably isn't a surprise, but I've got questions and I thought it'd be easier to ask them in person.

First—any way to respect Scien's wishes by burning his and Dahut's bodies, and any way we can send Luke's body back to his home?

[games... variety... charles recognizes only, like, poker. chess.]
You were right, by the way. Strihiria is... interesting.

[ thebe is already here in the strip mall and when they get the ping, charles will see a pair of ping ear-like apparatuses as they are just kind of strolling around the mall. there's a plastic bag over their arm hanging heavily. ]
Hey, Charles. Got your ping - want to take a look at some new duds? Or food... I could go for either.

I'm good with either too! [a beat] Hehe, I guess that's not helpful.

[ adrastea can be found in the rec room, lounging on the couch with their feet up on one arm, their helmeted head nestled on the other. they don't look like they're not doing anything of particular interest at the moment - what do you mean they're supposed to be patrolling? - but they are looking at a dossier that seems to include the delivery docket for wednesday. ]
[walks over but manages to respectfully refrain from trying to peak]
Working hard?
Working hard?
[yeah week 2 i traveled in time for this]
it might be easier in person. got a place i can meet you at?

[to be fair wednesday is the hardest day of the week to spell]
Hey. I've got something to show you, if you've got a moment.
[you know what's coming he shows them a transcript of this]
Hey. I've got something to show you, if you've got a moment.
[you know what's coming he shows them a transcript of this]
Hey. Uh, fair warning—can I show you something that might be unpleasant?
at this point, i'd be more shocked if we got good news.
looks that way. probably won't stop me from trying again next time, though.
[probably uhhhh the training room
charles give them a wave before showing them the newspaper clipping.]

| [ You drowning in CYOA, I drowning in all these FIGHT ANSWERS. I am saving us both and fading to black method this FIGHT SCENE, Jan. Europa will not go easy even if Charles is their role partner. :/ Actually, he might go harder on him, because he wants Charles to fight back and prove he wants to Live. ] |
[thank god i didn't want to write a fight scene either
BUT DAMN EUROPA well charles will fight for his life then thank you. he is a very quick all-rounder in terms of combat at least and willing to fight to kind of dirty that's all i've got.]

a bunch of people have started acting like the deceased after eating something, and apparently gregor was haunted by a bird?
i guess you heard, huh? you missed my brief stint as a sheep.
| [ The ping goes out, and almost immediately a black void forms in the Stasis Bay and Europa steps through, hello. Fortunately he is back in his normal uniform, except his helmet is off already and while there's two metallic wings at his back still - one of them is pretty damaged. His arms cross, a shimmery green dragon-like tail swaying behind him as gold eyes meet Charles. No visible injuries and he stands there impassive so he's probably fine. ] You called. |
[charles jumps a little at the sudden black void, before he relaxes when he sees who it is.]
... Yeah. How are you feeling, after yesterday?
... Yeah. How are you feeling, after yesterday?
thanks. can i meet you in person, while we're at it?
