ROLE — OCTO MEETING

ALL ROLES ON DECK
welcome, DESIGNATIONS.
On MONDAY afternoon, some hours after landing on Acquada, then the new amenities to the ship, our super secret living designations will receive a message from Senior Crew. There is a silent ping, so as not to give away anything to those they might be around.
We have decided to combine our meetings together this week and we have objectives we would like to accomplish. They may seem lofty, but with joined efforts we seek to make progress this week.
Sr. Crew
They have seen the command room before in passing. It's the room where the senior crew often check all sort of stuff from metrics, diagnostics, navigation, supply, inventory... You get the point. There are a number of terminals, all of which the current junior crew roles know they do not normally have access to.

There waits all eight senior officers, pensive and tense.

Roles are free to use this post across the IC week.

TL;DR
This is a communal role meeting with new objectives for the eight roles. While not every role will have a specialized task, roles are free to group up on tasks to better processes and increase success rate! Roles may collaborate to test methods or run trials in this post.

The NPCs have posed that immediately they'd like to focus on:

🚀 Preventing murder and death this week.
🚀 Devise a plan to return the dead and implement it. We can pose Friday possibly as being the day to organize with the public if IC help is wanted/needed!

DEADLINE IS BEFORE THURSDAY CURFEW. Submit here.

NPCs are interested in other related topics such as the origin of pink haze, CEM waves, etc. and are open to performing investigations or tasks to better understand the situation on the Eudora.

Great.

When I talked to the Eudora she could barely get a word in between the screen just filling up with the word MORE. Eventually her text glitched out in a similar way to this and before I got kicked out it just said "WE WILL CONSUME."

Before we got cut off she said "Pull it up at the roots."

And "It's going home."

i knew it
i knew we were flying right into a trap.
...when charles and i were on our mission last week, that's exactly what we had to do too
pull up the source of the CEM storm at the roots
it was a giant monster
i don't think i'm looking forward to finding out what the hell this thing really is
luke told me when they were over there they were able to find out that the living component of the CEM waves is like an eldritch being. capable of masking itself to be unseen, with the potential to change everything potentially limitlessly

If it's a trap we just have to outsmart it. If we have to pull it up at the roots and we're headed where the roots are, then there was never any other choice.
It isn't going to be fun, though.
solesuccess: (Send it)

as always easier said than done, but what else is new
we'll just have to make sure everybody's aware of what kind of situation we're dealing with

My mission was kind of like that too...
We had to destroy the core (a big seed?) of the thing that was trying to "assimilate" us...
It was really hard because it turned people against each other

I still have 8 uses of those warding items, and Charles has some, too. Maybe they can help us keep fighting, even if that thing tries to confuse us.
solesuccess: (I don't know why)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-15 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
bats534
...you know if these were missions to clear cem storms and the cem waves are the things trying to assimilate us this actually makes sense.
the thing we were fighting kept screaming at us. like "merge with us. don't split off. return to our body, our body is our people" and weird stuff like that
it didn't like we kept fighting it
remind me how the warding items work again?

I mean Scrap's special items!
I've got a pillow, a special drink, some of those cartridges, and some rock candy! All special ones that won't expire.
They're all a little bit different in how they're used and their durations, but one of their properties is that they help "shake off outside influences"

Callisto tipped me off about how they're probably related to that "mysterious object" in the CEM report with the cave drawings and stuff? (before he ran off on us like a complete asshole)
So I guess scientifically, they ward off CEM waves or something!
solesuccess: (Rip it)

bats534
oh those
i thought you meant something else you guys got
they're not bad to have on hand. if we can figure out how to ration them out and use them wisely amongst everybody here we could have a better idea of what we're working with and resist what this thing's trying to do
i want to see if we have any of the astropulvis left, too
see if i can try to recreate it somehow
even if it's not as potent a little bit could help so we're not strapped

Beauty
Oh, yeah!
I gave one my jellies to Amalthea so the senior crew could study it
Maybe we should see if they made any progress on that!
solesuccess: (In the bottom half of the hourglass)

bats534
oh awesome
that's a really good idea
i can follow up with her if you want but it's your jelly so you tell me
we can also send lucien to do it
sexyasmieu: (001)

[personal profile] sexyasmieu 2024-04-15 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Beauty
Be my guest! It's everybody's jelly now.
I think we saved a sample of the astropulvis for Yuri too, right?
So we might have a few things for you big-brainy nerds to look at!
solesuccess: (Is when it's tested again and again)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-15 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
bats534
yeah i was going to see if charles wanted to ask her about that
i mean i could too but he gave it to her in the first place
we'll figure it out
we're going to learn more tomorrow when we land anyway i bet

yeah, i've handed the sample over to her, so we're free to poke her if there's anything we think she should look at.
solesuccess: (I don't feel attached to this name)

bats534
cool
we can think on it a little and decide from there

Are you two okay? Did you feel weird or anything?

I had a headache afterwards. Whole thing didn't feel great. But I'm fine.

I wouldn't say Eudora is okay, though.

Okay... I'm glad it wasn't worse.
