[ io is just seated in the lounge, metal leg stretched out in front of them while they're kind of sunken into a couch. when they see mizuki they give a quiet nod towards mizuki, but otherwise are just. vibing.
That's right. Considering how Dahut's entire situation panned out, it seemed best to divide the work.
Spent most of the time working on that - except for the time I went to bring you to the galley. Though I... left that up to you three and kept working at it outside, I admit.
Luke was likely sick from the start - This is what we've gathered from a few others around us, and then from an examination after his collapse. His condition deteriorated quickly Thursday night... before he collapsed and died.
[ they pause and rest their fingers against their helmet. ]
Typically, we'd have had the medbay available from the start, but the ship's lockdown made it impossible to get everything up and running all at once. Ideally, we'd have had it opened first thing next week... but we clearly are not allowed anything "ideal" are we...
[ pixi rly just wanted to fucking say "see ya." regardless, io is very murkily fuming, leaning back. the very dull sensation of dissatisfaction, like even they don't like this answer. it feels helpless. ]
If the fact that none of you recall signing with the company isn't proof enough, I think the company allowing someone with a condition that intense and quick to turn to go through something as intense as cryosleep and subsequently space travel... is a nail in the coffin. [ a shake of the head. ]
Man. Her heart sinks for them; everyone is angry, and confused and lost, but they're the ones in charge, and it's evident absolutely nothing has gone the way they intended it from day one. And now that it's ended like this...? No wonder they're so dispirited.
Mizuki exhales softly, no less exhausted herself, folding both arms over her chest. ]
It looks bad, but... it's not over yet. I don't know what the big guys in charge are thinking, but it doesn't have to happen again.
[ there's a moment where they look at her and then look back down. there is a sinking feeling here but it's like it's at the other end of the mall. distant and quiet. ]
It doesn't, no.
I was recruited here... and was told I could learn much from researching various planets... that maybe I could indeed find a cure that I'm looking for... this is the kind of thing I don't want to sit by and just watch happen.
Not too loudly now, Captain. The others will get jealous. [ a very tired salute ] I do. But... I'll take it easy next week. Think you'll see more of the others than me if you go out.

You as well. Appreciate all the help today. Truly.

Wouldn't be much of a police officer if I sat back and watched.

It was impressive. Glad I got to witness some of your own talent in action.
But please take it easy as well.

By the way... I wanted to ask—you were working on stuff with Luke today, right?

Look, you were busy—I'm not blaming you for that. I just, well... If it isn't private info or anything, wanted to know what happened to him.

So we won't. As hard as it might feel now... You got this. And I'm going to do everything I can to make sure nothing happens to anyone else, too.

We'll do all that we can. I promise you that.

I believe it. You guys have already been working really hard.

We're trying.
Now. Is there anything I can do for you? That was a lot of work...

Shouldn't you be taking a break?

Mmm, there will be time for rest later... [ hopefully? maybe? they are mildly hopeful. ]

Gotta get the med bay up and running. After... I'll see if work lets me take it a bit easier.
[ The Man. they do Not seem enthused. ]
