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.

Oh, is this him? You do look alike...
[ She's reading the info. Wow did Knives have to re-write his profile when he infiltrated the squad. Looks at the status. ]
"Reactivated"?
no subject
[ Like mirrors and Knives stares at the profile. She can ask though. ]
I'm not sure what that status means, but I think it may coincide with me taking his role.
no subject
Does that mean he was actually like, decommissioned or something between things? I haven't seen another status other than active and decommissioned...
no subject
For a moment, as he's thinking about it, he massages his temple. ]
... What happened to you, Vash? Where did you go? I refuse to believe...
[ That you could have died. ]
no subject
Whoa, look. The other guys, the ones we saw their actual bodies on an autopsy table, still clearly got something going on -- even if that's just neurons, it's obvious they're talking to us and stuff. I don't know what it's like where you're from, but it's not that hard to move consciousness into mechanical bodies, and I'm from a company department where our whole shtick is literally being able to rewind death, so.
[ You know. Don't jump to conclusions and go postal on us or anything, not that she thinks he seems like he's about to. ]
We got nothing on Vashie yet, but we'll work on it.
no subject
[ Just saying that kind of niggles its way into this possibly being a reality. He doesn't want that? He'd prefer if Vash just got stranded on some planet and he'll find out through clues somehow.
Her last words calm him down though. ]
... If you remember the video before. I believe it's salvageable.
no subject
[ Hell, every time any one of the Sinners dies, it's the same thing -- that gold chain of resonance to find them through a sea of the other millions of damned. Sure, maybe her perspective is kinda fucked up compared to a lot of your guys due to the nature of her world, but it's working out pretty good for her in this scenario. ]
The flower one? I sent that to a few people... do you know anything about what it might mean? Charlie and the rest told me about the whole cult revolving around CEM waves, that has to do with flowers at least.
Are you still keeping the terminal and stuff secret from the other senior crew?
no subject
I don't, which is why we can try to fix it. [ He tilts his head at the mention of the cults. ] I read there are multiple cults with waves at their core... I can't tell you if it's purposeful or coincidental.
[ He really doesn't know. ]
I had my reasons before.
[ i don't remember if he told her the reasons ]
no subject
The reasons that he gave her was so that people wouldn't overload and explode the terminal becaue Knives doesn't trust people to try to mess with it. ]
Uh-huh. What's so special about the tessaract, by the way? Since it's apparently your idea to bid for it.
no subject
And those were also good reasons. He can't trust humans (why is rodya here) he can't trust humans. ]
There's less threat than before now that I know where the other officers stand in all of this. [ Or so he thinks. ] If they come to learn what we do, then it doesn't matter to me as long as they don't stand in my way. I still don't want junior crew snooping around this terminal.
The tesseract comprises of energy from a higher dimension, so there's a possibility it can neutralize the CEM waves or perhaps control it as a centralizing force... If it can't, then we can try to build something that can overpower it.
It'll make searching for him smoother.
[ The murdergame portion is harshing his vibe. ]
no subject
That sounds good to me.
[ Like, it sounds reasonable enough? In the end it's about Vash, sure, but counteracting CEM waves seems super promising. ]
You know, you're not the only one trying to put a fix on all this. Turns out there's other guys around who know secret ins and outs around this place. If you're gonna be stuck with us and the rest of the senior crew until the end of this trip, why not let the others in on the act and cast that net a little wider?
no subject
rodya probably will only have to wonder what he does ]
