W4 WEDNESDAY

[impatiens]

FYI thought you should know we ran into some dead people today. In the flesh and everything.

---

You think so, too, right?!

[messy]

Right!! Like, I'm pretty damn sure it was them... I'm not just being way too optimistic.

[impatiens]

It is... Weird that they were able to appear in VR, if this is true.

I'm thinking of asking the other seniors in a meeting what they think since technology outside of hydroponics and communications isn't my specialty.

[messy]

Someone took the phrase "ghost in the machine" too literally...

Can you loop me back in after you're done talking to them? VR is so not my specialty either.

[impatiens]

Oh, you're right about that. Spooky.

Sure! I'll see. At least from what I know, a lot of new models of VR use CEM data.

[messy]

What's CEM data anyway? I swear all the technical jargon is starting to melt my brain.

[impatiens]

You know the storms and those rifts take you to places where illusions seem real? The weekly effects we go through, too. They're composed of cosmoelectromagnetic waves, so the data pulled from those is used for a lot of things like... OmegaMart items, the Sim Room, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of VR uses it to make the experience feel more real.

W4 SUNDAY

[dropoffs]

Heard you're the only senior officer who didn't pass out today. Do you have any idea what happened yet?

---

Which part? You will need to be specific.

[messy]

The fainting part. Like all the other stuff that happened is SUPER concerning too but that one is definitely new for a Sunday.

[trenchant]

I do not know the exact cause, but they told me the pain started with their augments first. It then spread.

[messy]

But you didn't have the same problem. Are your augments different than theirs? I mean, if you have any.
I think you said theirs were older models before

[trenchant]

I don't have any. Most of them had theirs installed during the last tour, which I did not partake.

But that's right, they are older models.

W5 MONDAY

[upholden]

I heard you passed out. Are you okay?


i've had worse, fortunately and unfortunately, but i'll be alright.
my jaw is just locking up/stiff from my wetware being hit.
some of the others had it worse - their wetware is internal, or more all-encompassing.

[messy]

Jesus, that's horrible. Are you guys going to be alright?
Do we need to worry about something like that happening again?

[upholden]

we'll be ok, but
we're probably going to be looking into getting it replaced.
we're just not sure how long that's going to wind up taking, and how possible it'll be for all of us...
just to make sure that it DOESN'T happen, since we're pretty sure the ship did it at this point.

W5 WEDNESDAY

[dropoffs]

[ well... it would seem you guys caused a rock lobster rebellion, but... ]

I think they could use some tasty ores...?

[ Unsure. ]

[messy]

Would they still take 'em...?

[we really came and destroyed the ecosystem.]

[impatiens]

Who wouldn't take tasty food!

[ you guys incited rock lobster rebellion ]
