still wanted to chat/interrogate?
Of course, if you have the time. Do not feel pressured to share, considering we must seem suspicious.

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?

[ 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?

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?

[ 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. ]

[ We are here at the Rec Room, pondering over games. There's so much to choose from... ]
[ 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.

[ 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. ]
traveler
got a second?
Go on.
Go on.
[ I don't know why I struggled so hard to type Wednesday but anyways Metis arrives at the Titan's Call as pinged! A warm friendly greeting. ]
'Tis good to see you, Charles. Is there something I can help you with?

travelerso, what now? now that we can assume this'll keep happening.
That is the question to ask, isn't it... What can we do.
We should be receiving a response from Nut & Bolt the coming week, but I am prepared for bad news.

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. ] |

| [ 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. |
