W4 MONDAY

[dropoffs]

[ welcome charles they are... sitting in the lounge, looking at a datapad with the Tesseract on it. ]

[riverbeans]

[waves at callisto, before heading on over.]

That's the Tesseract we're after?

[dropoffs]

That's right... There will be many competing bidders there, but Nut & Bolt's coin purse is not one to be trifled with. It can be... A company expense.

[ With disdain, but anyway. ]

What do you need?

[riverbeans]

Hey, I'm all for putting this on the company's tab.

[...]

I wanted to go over the data pads with you. Have you been kept up to date with them?

[dropoffs]

We go over them in meetings and there was a small breakthrough. Everyone seemed to remember Jade Brooks only after one of us put her full name and job position together.

[ Which is interesting to them. Anyway, ]

Let me see.

[riverbeans]

... That does seem to be the pattern I'm noticing.

[but he will show them the titan's call, cargo bay, medical bay stuff, multiplex stuff including the decrypted video, lockers, salon, and security data pads or rather whichever ones he hasn't already shown them.]

[dropoffs]

[ They look at these... Then look at Charles.

Now what. ]

[riverbeans]

... Any thoughts? Jogging any memories?

[dropoffs]

[ They look at him then look at the documents. ]

We will need to deduce who some of these people are based on context clues.

[ For once, they will gesture Charles to sit closer. They can go over some files. ]

It'll likelier be better for memory recall.

[riverbeans]

[wow... he will sit closer, then, looking over the files.]

Got any ideas as to who to start with?

[dropoffs]

You choose which you think we can work on.

[riverbeans]

[MAKING ME THINK I SEE]

Well... since we have Jade Brooks figured out, we might as well continue from her. Maybe figuring out who Lancion is, or who it is that's talking to her in the medical bay video?

[dropoffs]

All right. Can you point to me those documents that mention Lancion.

[ yes.... i gave you all this lore to think ]

[riverbeans]

[I DON'T WANT TO THINK]

Aside from the crew roster, he's mentioned in the medical bay video.

[dropoffs]

[ help. ]

So what we can hear from this video is that Lancion is very short... And they're in a team that is meant to be vigilant. Oscar seems to be close to Lancion—which could mean?

[riverbeans]

They're both part of Combats System, with Jade?

[dropoffs]

[ They stroke their chin... ]

Combat Systems handles defense for the ship and threat control in that scenario. It could be. We can consider a different team in case it isn't Combat Systems.

What other department would need to be vigilant?

[riverbeans]

[I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING TESTED. ME, JAN]

The military department?

[dropoffs]

[ you're doing great They also nod... ]

That is also a good option. Three might be a good number to start testing. Let's get another educated guess on a team if the first two don't work.

[riverbeans]

[thinks]

Actually, since Jade was told she should worry "more over her department," that means Oscar and Lancion aren't in combat systems, right> So, military, or another one that would require being on field. Medical or intelligence...?

[dropoffs]

[ that's a good catch i am very sleepy ]

No, you're right. If Jade is saying that, then they can't be in the same team. I would choose Intelligence over Medical as a second choice.

[riverbeans]

[tucks you in]

All right, so military or intelligence as the top choices. [a beat, and then dryly,] Unfortunately, I don't think Metis has shown up in any of these videos, so I can't determine yet who would be smaller than them to deduce Lancion's appearance.

[dropoffs]

For now, we can keep in mind that Lancion is very small... Metis themselves is small already.

[ So it would be that they're noticeably tinies. ]

You can test to see if this works.

[riverbeans]

How would you suggest testing it? Just go with this assumption and see if it ends up conflicting with anything?

[dropoffs]

Seeing that we remembered Jade because of a combination of identifiers, I believe you could simply say it... I wonder if written word also works, but we pieced Jade's identity together through video.

I imagine the medium and delivery doesn't matter, but the information does.
