dropoffs | 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.

[ the roles and all the officers, save for thebe and amalthea, will get a ping to gather again from yelan. ]

Your rats had an update. Some of the videos are too corrupted to get a proper look at, and it's not something we can fix on our end, but you did get a couple of hits.

[ the first: charatles, ratya, and ratnise are making their way through the regular trash. good for them! the feeds are active and there's no aberrations or glitches or static there.

the following are all short blips, feed ripping, scrolling, staticky, and filled with aberrations across the color spectrum. it's hard to make out many details, but there's some things of note.

ratcien bears witness to a 6' rat sitting and knitting.

shurat is shown the full glory of a photo of luke, framed and hanging on a rough hewn wooden wall, wrapped in red shibari rope. why.

ratlace and ratma both show pulsing ... somethings. ratlace's is a five second clip and is the most distorted, so you can only really make out that it's wet and organic. whereas ratma's looks almost like machinery and lasts a few seconds longer - long enough to make out that an egg is deposited out of a funnel. why, but with feeling.

arathur has a strange feed, but his is the longest - looks like he was the other, successful survivor. in the background of a computer screen, you can see a tall shape that could very well be vash, where it looks like he's talking with thin air, seemingly consoling whoever or whatever he's speaking to. there's not even a rat there???

but you can also see the computer screen. we will not be giving you a clearer image of this so good luck. ]

[ tippytaps... ]

"Trying to send this turned HER-MES pink: "there was a garden planet named Lotophages (lotus eaters), which had beautiful flowers and was covered in pink mist. WE suspect it could've been clouds of something like pollen. Could that have been when the ship was infiltrated by whatever plagues it now? It at least exacerbated things."

2. Having the crew roster filled out helps us. It looks like we are meant to figure out the fate of the crew..." I can't see the rest of this, and I can't see the third part very well.

"Talk to Callisto about it. Can you see this y/n. Tell us on Her-Mes without omitting the details."

That's the best I got.

The end of point 2 might include "please share," though I can't make more out.

[ she's been staring at these for a while. ]

The last one looks like there are names besides Callisto. Something like Soniya, or Courtney, or Bradley, maybe.

Hm...[ more tiptaps. ] Communications Staff, died of starvation? Research and Development staff, drowned. Chief of Staff, crushed in debris. Maybe...the ways they died are all tied together more closely than we think.

Maybe... our memories are harder to pin down, timewise, but it's possible.

[ looks over at callisto ]

I'll be honest, no matter what names there are, he'll probably be useless for anything from the original 22. They'd be better off asking the Callisto on their side.

So maybe we should ask them to ask that Callisto in our stead and give us answers as best as they can. That's not a bad idea.

Mm. He's the replacement, so based on the original's disappearance I'd say that he's never had contact with the first crew. It's worth shooting back a response along those lines.

I have all of my letters left. I can ask Sidon or something. Thanks, Adrastea. [ ... ] Yelan?

[ help. ]

[ Well, ]

It seems you don’t have to address them specifically, they will all see your personal correspondence.

Thank you, Mr. Enda.

[ i was late to this and wasn't sure where the link was when this was discussed but he just squints

How vague. ]

Ratma found the egg lab...

[ he looks like he's considering this. ]

I mean, I guess a rat me would go for a lab. Eggs or not.

[showing adrastea or whoever this...]

Do you recall if Ellya and Jade were able to evacuate the ship safely? What about Ando Fisher?

Edited 2024-04-10 18:27 (UTC)

[ looking at this, and -

blinks. ]

Oh... I don't think there's been any logs of them from after this. They might have. Fisher, as well.

Hm. All right, then I'll mark them down as having survived unless anyone recalls otherwise.

Rowntree died of poison, I'm guessing? I think that leaves Blake Walker as the last that we're uncertain of.

... I'm glad someone made it out, at least. [ thoughtful.

but she inclines her head, after a long moment. ] Watching this - I think so, yes. Severe poisoning, maybe food poisoning.
