[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?

You can say that, but I'll worry anyway. But, I get your point. [...] That's a pretty bad sign. What do you think?

[shut the fuck up]

That's essentially what I was thinking. ... It's bad that the arguably better scenario is that someone else killed independently, in their right mind.

... Yeah. Realistically speaking, if there are two different killers, our chances of catching both... aren't great.

... It's theoretically possible, but tricky enough that I wouldn't count on it, even if it was something we were inclined towards.

[charles is an idealist but also, he doesn't dream for the impractical.]

By the way, can I ask you about something else too, while I'm at it?

What can you tell me about the galactic storms?

[...]

And they apparently cause hallucinations and mess with people's senses and emotions, huh?

[LOOK YOU GUYS DIDN'T EXACTLY BRING UP STORMS A LOT BEFORE THIS PERHAPS HAVE CLEARER WORDING IN YOUR MESSAGE.........]

So those are caused by the storms? We've been blaming them on the nanites all this time, since you guys said those were responsible for the first week.

[CONCERN

he's quiet for a moment, before—]


"As your bodies begin to acclimatize to the Eudora's nanites, full of numerous benefits such as accelerated healing and the preservation of bone mass, please take care to monitor your emotional output with one another. We have found that within the first week of nanite integration, there have been issues with heighted awareness and intense emotional and physical feedback between crewmembers that share these nanites. From, the Senior Crew."

That was the alert we got in the first week.

[...]

All right, so this is increasingly convincing me that all of you have had your mind altered, as unpleasant as it sounds.
riverbeans: (d1)

[personal profile] riverbeans 2024-03-18 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
... Will you be okay with facing everything, if we uncover the truth?

[not said accusingly, but just like. checking in that he'll be fine if everyone bruteforces their way into perhaps an unpleasant reality and also perhaps more headaches for him.]

Heh, that's comforting to hear. I'll be counting on you in that case, supervisor.

[but also take care of yourself!!]
