ROLE — MISSION CONTROL 🚀

[dropoffs]

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.

📓 JOURNALS

→ Does this fall under journals I don't know. Anyway, info on dimensional rifts as it possibly pertains to gy, how to access or cross it, etc.

[dropoffs]

wow

BONUS 💿: and a bonus?, this time i labeled it unlike last time

SPEAK TO CALLISTO

[trenchant]

[ Guess who fixed the bonus video a bit? ]

[inequals]

Ooh, what's this?

[ Peering into it, the usual disrespect of his personal space etc etc. ]

Red flowers, huh? Is this that video we got last time?

[ Can we pinch-zoom in on this. ]

By the way, uh, how much do you know about a possible worm planet on the dossier?

[trenchant]

[ why can't you stand back................ i find it funny though with this week's effect, Knives will have no rust because he's a pampered baby bitch who has never known REAL suffering. ]

It is the video we got last time.

[ She can! What is she looking for. ]

... Worm planet?

[ You would have to show him. ]

[inequals]

[ Can't relate. Rodya seems fine for now but do I think the potential is hilarious with the literally potentially infinite horrifying ways she has died. Yeah. Good job on being a clean knife, bud.

She's trying to pinch-zoom in on the person. Is dat ya boi Vash. ]

Worm planet, hold on.

[ Pausing on messing with the screen to pull up the following files:

🔗attachment_file_m.journal_3

WURMWORLD

"UPDATE COMING TO FILES REGARDING "WORMWURLD."

• PLANET WHOSE LIFE THRIVE BENEATH THE SURFACE.
• PEACEFUL, DANGER LEVEL: 0.
• HIGHLY REQUEST OF DELIVERIES OF MULCH.

POPULATION NUMBERS HAVE DECREASED SINCE THE LAST UPDATE, REFLECTING CHANGE.

850,000 3,000

Cool. ]

Sorry, "WURMWORLD", not worm planet.

[trenchant]

[ It do look like a yellow based suit through the glitchies, maybe. ]

We shouldn't be stopping in Wurmworld if that's your concern.

[inequals]

[ What does yellow-based mean, like it looks like the Callisto jumpsuit?? ]

"Shouldn't" and "won't" are kinda different though, don't you think? The other guys are pretty concerned about this one, especially since Shoma, like... I think he said he had a vision where he was eating dirt or something. And you know, I guess the weird obsession about living like the worms in this entry is kinda weird.

[ Don't quote her on that but like, close enough. ]

Is this him? What's with the red flowers?

[trenchant]

[ Makes a face because help.... What is Shoma DOING. ]

If the ship is following the dossier, we won't be docking at Wurmworld. We're bound elsewhere.

[ mayhaps yellow jumpsuit... ]

It may be him. [ Staring at this video for a long time, frowning as the flowers become a talking point. ] Those were her favorite flowers.

[inequals]

Can't you tell me where the last dock is. Pretty pleaaase.

[ :( ]

You can't just say "her" and not expand any more on it. What do you think about it? Where'd he go, and why'd he leave flowers behind?

[trenchant]

[ Why are you being so annoying, but he doesn't think it's that important. ]

Acquada. It's a panthalassic planet.

[ IT ISN'T WURMS ]

We once had a guardian when we were children. He was especially attached to her. [ Said with complicated contempt. ] I already checked the waste disposal and found nothing. The flower is also nowhere to be found there.

[ HE DOESN'T WANT TO SAY that Vash might have died mysteriously. ]

[inequals]

[ Its not like she doesn't understand complicated childhood relationships... though childhood might be not right. I hate Limbus Company why did they do Rodion so dirty with her backstory and Canto. ]

Sure, but people don't just... evaporate, you know? Unless that's something you guys are known for doing. Something happened here, and whether that's CEM waves putting him into a mirror world -- or another dimension, to put it more generally...

Huh. Do you think that's it? Where they're all at. You gotta know a thing or two about it since you already know the Tesseract draws power from a higher dimension or whatever it is they said about it.

[trenchant]

Yes, the tesseract comprises of energy from a different dimension, one higher than this plane.

[ So he's aware and has experience even entering a different dimension. Hm. ]

... Into another dimension. [ As he thinks about it more, that does sound entirely plausible. ] While we take you on missions to disperse storms, other groups are taken by an interdimensional rift. From what I have heard on missions, both scenarios are similar in content, even if the details are widely varied. Charles had also said that rifts from his world can transport them to Hell.

[ ... ]

That article about revival mentioned needed a vessel.

[inequals]

Soooo? Okay, maybe we can find the right interdimensional rift to go there and get them!

[ She says this like it's any easier to find the exact right mirror world needed when it's an infinite choice. Well, they can worry about that later. Right now, solution path! ]

What exactly does a vessel have to be?

[trenchant]

[ Interesting thoughts that he may bring to the meeting later... ]

Where is his body.

[ oh no ]

[inequals]

[ Pokes his pom. ]

[trenchant]

[ DON'T TOUCH HIM he's emotionally fragile ]

[inequals]

[ Emotional fragility never stopped the Limbuses from doing anything. ]

What the heck was that.

[trenchant]

[ i just think the moogle is so funny

He's having a mini spiral right now. ]

[inequals]

[ Don't make her punch you into sanity. She's readying a fist already. ]

Hey, earth to Callie! Stop going off into your despair spiral!

[ SNAPPING HER FINGERS IN FRONT OF HIS EYES come back here. ]

Seriously, have you actually talked to the other senior crew yet? About everything.

[trenchant]

[ i don't think anything can make him sane

this forces him to think, though. ]

What more do I have to say to them? They already know and they already distrust me. It doesn't matter to me that they continue to bar me from their plans—but I won't let them handle my brother in their secrecy.

[ He's just as distrustful is what this says. ]

[inequals]

That's 'cause you've been lying to them, duh! As far as I hear it, it might be that the old senior crew went through the same stuff we did with the disturbances and the killing and everything -- so no shit that they're not going to loop you in if you won't do it back.

You're here for your brother, right? And they like the other Callisto.

If that's all it is, then there's no point in having them not work with you. Same goal and all. You know how much work I'm putting into making sure the other junior roles don't distrust you either?

[ It's not that much work because for some reason people just believe Rodion but hey. ]

[trenchant]

If I didn't, I'm sure they would have thrown me into the brig.

[ Legitimately, this is very reasonable. Knives didn't ask to be roped into being part of their crew. He's here for Vash. ]

You can never predict if they'll turn on you later.
