If it shouldn't, why is it?

[dropoffs]

[ well before io can speak this sure as fuck happens. ]

That should have done it.

[ just. stares at door. bye they're just going to go ram it now with a shoulder. ]

[expiries]

[ah.

well time to immediately try to help with that!]

[dropoffs]

[ unfortunately said door is really not fucking budging even an inch. it's like flies on a windshield, just... worse for you than it is for the door so io really does just slam a palm against it like come on.

Really... this is happening now...

[ IT'S BEEN A WEEK. ]

[expiries]

Has it happened before?

[dropoffs]

[ there's just a really low huff from under the helmet and then - ]

No. Never. Nothing like this where it rejects...?

[expiries]

Who would be able to reject something that all eight of you signed off on? And how long have you all been here?

[dropoffs]

There's no one here to reject it. It's the eight of us.

[ just. slowly leaning into wall very still, quiet vibe. calm. trying. ]

Mm. Been here three months.

[expiries]

Someone must be able to, because someone did. Upper management? And - this hasn't happened before in those three months?

[dropoffs]

[ a shrug because truly. don't know. they just work here and this has never happened. ]

Never in the time I've been here.

[expiries]

[emotionshare means he senses the honesty, probably, so he just sighs.]

...What do we do now?

[dropoffs]

[ just looking up a minute. ]

We wait.

If it's scanning the ship... it'll finish sometime in the morning.

[expiries]

Hours from now.

[ughhhhh]

What do you mean by it?

[dropoffs]

[ shrugs ]

Just the ship...

It runs the process itself, but it should respond and stop when we tell it like we just tried...
