ROLE — MISSION CONTROL 🚀
MISSION CONTROL
welcome, RODION.
On MONDAY afternoon some hours after landing, then the new amenities to the ship, Rodion will hear a familiar notification ringing from her I.R.I.S. It takes one look, one gesture, and a gold message screen displays in a cascade.
... The message is sparse and carries a rigid aura.

You want answers, don't you? Come to the command room right now.
CALLISTO
Rodion has 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 them Rodion is aware she wouldn't have access clearance.
There waits Callisto with their arms crossed, staring intensely at the main supercomputer. How you want to interpret it is up to you, but they do lift their head when they sense her peek through the door. They proceed to say nothing.
Just come on in.

RULES
As the role responsible for mission control, Rodion is expected to follow a few rules:
1. For now, keep your new designation a secret. Should this designation be shared with anyone without prior authorization, consequences and termination of position are possible. This can be revisited at a later date.
2. If you distribute any information acquired, it must be done anonymously or without referencing the source. This can be revisited at a later date.
3. Rodion will be given the opportunity to uncover one file from one of three directories in a hacked console.🚀 EUDORA, an uncovered bank of ship data audits and previous mission dossiers.
📓 JOURNALS, an isolated cloud of otherwise private I.R.I.S. files.
👥 CREW, files that contain historical personnel records.
4. Selection is due by WEDNESDAY and information will be dispensed as soon as possible, but ideally before the next week.

TALK TO CALLISTO
no subject
[ Hey girl hey. Sure, answers sound great right now, but what's all this? She looks at all the mumbo jumbo on the deck like whoa. ]
Whatcha doing?
no subject
After what happened last week, we can't afford to stay idle and wait for Nut & Bolt to answer us.
[ They also look at all the techy stuff with some blame. ]
I found an inaccessible console and was able to unlock it. I want to look into it, but it has its limitations.
no subject
[ Her attitude shifts, subtly but definitely. ]
Tell me all about it. What does it do?
no subject
[ They seem to be leering at the console. ]
I do not know if adding detail in the search would filter out unwanted files.
[ We will not stop you from... Let's say searching up a JOURNAL, specifically looking for [TERM], but you may or may not get a document that fits the criteria. ]
no subject
[ Hi hello to your personal space. She's not super in it but she's a little close, because you know, console. ]
How much does it know? Did you try looking up Nut & Bolt in it already?
no subject
[ THEIR SPACE. ]
no subject
[ She's probably joking. She'll step a bit to the side but she's still peering at all the nonsense. Blade hasn't stopped her so neither will Callisto.
But more seriously though: ]
Can you run some test searches on it right now to see then?
[ Just what kind of expansiveness are we working with here etc. just to see. ]
no subject
[ They don't think they needed to be clear about that, but they bristle less now. ]
After scanning the console, I believe it only has the capacity to dispense one search a week.
no subject
Why so limited, shouldn't information be free or whatever?
[ Still thinking about how Library of Ruina has ab achievement called the Alexandria Simulator. ]
no subject
[ Even though they know she was just setting an example. ]
The console is finicky, prone to overreacting, and could shut down if pushed too far. Worse, it can combust.
[ The rising desire to just kick it is high, but they don't. ]
no subject
Are you really sure we should be flying across space and time in this thing?
[ Genuinely, if a console can burst into flames for asking it two questions should they be using the Eudora at all? ]
...Does it have info on Nut & Bolt's foundation history?
no subject
[ It is a smaller case on the side, connected to the supercomputer. All black. It does look neglected..... The vibe of using a floppy disk (but it doesn't). ]
I'm sure it does if it's a Nut & Bolt computer, but we also have that information. [ However, ] Do you doubt the company's legitimacy?
no subject
Yeah, pretty much. If you wanna tell me about it then I'm all ears, if you think a company-owned ship isn't gonna get me anything worth hearing.
Where I'm from though, Corps all usually are hiding things. Sometimes it's a necessity to keep their competitive advantages, like lying about what their Singularity does, or to keep operations looking smooth on the surface so it doesn't get shut down by the Head.
So far, everything else seems pretty standard, so why not this too?
no subject
Callisto will not go that far. She can literally see him retrieve the Nut & Bolt brochure that's stamped with Strihira's emblem as being reputable and one of the best couriers for their god forsaken planet.
The pamphlet itself is very normal. It has the founding dates, the picture of the founder who seems to be a giant squirrel. She looks very respectable in her suit. The background story to Nut & Bolt is that she wanted to eat all types of nuts from across the stars... So Nut & Bolt was originally a nut delivery service. Nut for nuts, bolt for bolting. The company has transformed since humble beginnings, thus the meaning of its name along with it.
Then there's the stuff that they basically know from the powerpoint from orientation, but the consumer-side transparency copy. There are examples of their contribution to the planet's health with dates of deliveries and pictures. ]
I don't believe a courier service has things like Singularities. Nut & Bolt does hide its more advanced technologies, such as its nanites and space jump formula, but I've heard that the competition have similar devices and methods. The battle right now is over sustainability and being seen as the most eco-galaxy friendly. Likely, their recent crime would be lying about how much fuel their ships use.
It would be a waste.
[ But if Rodya still wants to double check/fact check the pamphlet, SHE IS THE ROLE HOLDER. ]
no subject
Her canon makes her seriously doubt this but she'll suspend some beliefs. Maybe put it on the backburner for now then. She's also not that nosy about pursuing other characters's personal info atm -- she has her own secrets, so why shouldn't they? So she looks at the Eudora and Journals directories. ]
What kinda stuff is in these two?
[ What does 'data' imply and what kind of general content does 'private I.R.I.S.' also entail? ]
no subject
Rodya can consider checking Nut & Bolt history some time in the future if anything springs up that concerns her, just Callisto themself has their own agenda and they're not that keen on it. Or they just don't care about this company now. The past week changed(?) them. ]
Likely old ship logs from past voyages, which is vague... It could include customer feedback reports. Delivery reports. Threat reports. Cosmoelectromagnetic wave effects reports. Ship upgrades and changes.
[ Hm. ]
Journals are likely private journals from previous crews who worked on the Eudora.
no subject
And I can only choose one?!
[ Her vibe is very Callisto!!! This is a problem we gotta fix, man!!! She's thinking. A log on the ship's upgrades and any changes made to it sound interesting, but past crew logs... also interesting...! ]
no subject
[ THE CHOICE IS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]
Don't tell anyone about this.
no subject
[ Man. Hmm. With the current situation though, maybe a past record of what happened to the previous groups will be more interesting, given the employee turnover and general hiring choices seem pretty shady at best. ]
Past crew log then.
no subject
[ Too many hands in this pieputer. ]
I also do not want the other seniors to catch whiff of this yet. This would be reported to Nut & Bolt under employee protocol and some may want to stay contracted with the company.
no subject
[ She did assume that the senior crew kind of shared everything with each other. The fact that they're keeping it hush from the rest of them kind of says a lot. Not sure what exactly but it does seem like a lot. ]
You got it.
Going rogue already, huh?
no subject
I'm only here to find someone. That hasn't changed.
no subject
How do you know this job is gonna get you to them? Just hop around planets until you finally find them?
no subject
I know. This ship is the key.
[ With like NO basis whatsoever. They sound incredibly confident or is it desperate. ]
