CAPTAIN'S LOG
welcome, crewmate isabel.
On WEDNESDAY, after returning to the ship from their planetside work, Lovelace will hear the familiar ping of the I.R.I.S. at her wrist; the moment that she lifts up her hand to check what the noise is for, a window immediately pops up. The projection fills in a spread of purple, and a message sent only to her designation loads in the window.
There is no compulsion to obey the request, but it is rather politely made - and could be interesting.

GOOD AFTERNOON, CPT. LOVELACE.
Hopefully I'm not interrupting anything? Sorry, if that's the case! I tried to time this for when you weren't busy with work planetside for the delivery, and wanted to give you the chance to explore if you wanted.
If you could please meet with me as soon as possible, I would appreciate it. There's some work that you might find interesting. I think if we did it together, we could really do a lot with it - and it might help us get some answers.

GANYMEDE
The observation deck is highlighted on the I.R.I.S. once the message is read, and will indicate where Lovelace needs to go to meet Ganymede. The CCO can be found easily there, waiting patiently, a data pad in their hands before turning to greet her companionably. They won't begin the discussion until they're sure that there's no one else around. While relaxed, it's hard to say what they're thinking, as there's currently no emoticons or symbols displaying on the visor of their helmet, but their filtered voice is still steady and calm.
"I'm sure you've got questions, and we've got a lot to go over. Let's get started."

RULES
As the role responsible for the captain's log, along with information that is acquired through it, Lovelace 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.
β³ As of w2, you can share your role with ONE non-role person.
2. If you distribute any information acquired, it must be done anonymously or without referencing the true source. This can be revisited at a later date.
3. Each week, only one person can be investigated. You can choose that one person, or you can select three from which a random individual will be pulled from through RNG. You cannot investigate yourself, senior crew, or previously decommissioned crew at this time.
β³ As of w5, a second person can be selected; these choices can come from both senior and junior crew, the previously decommissioned, and the old crew roster.
4. Selection must be made during Lovelace's meeting with Ganymede when summoned on Wednesday (ICly, OOCly the deadline is Friday). Once one or both parties leave the meeting, the meeting is concluded until reconvening for discussion of results on Sunday. This does not mean that the role can't be discussed in audiences, however!

WEEK 2
SELECTION: DUE FRIDAY

TALK TO GANYMEDE
ganymede's here, facing the windows with their back to lovelace as she enters.
they're holding their helmet in their hands, having taken it off, and seem to be preparing themself for turning around. ]
no subject
So you can take those off.
no subject
We're going a little rogue, so to speak. And this isn't a public space - it's a private one. I figured it'd be good to offer some more transparency.
[ but ganymede does turn to face her!
Hey, captain.
no subject
[ haha i guessed right. anyway hmm concerning but she will not comment because she is not that rude. right now. maybe. ]
Well, far be it from me to stop you from rebelling a little bit. It's good for the spirit.
no subject
It is, isn't it? And we're kind of... well, things are weird - more than what we already knew. Everything's been kind of a foggy haze this week, for the officers, and we're coming out of it bit by bit.
So. Transparency!
no subject
[ ... ]
That haze have something to do with the old lists and photos people keep finding? The previous junior crew that none of you seem to remember?
no subject
I haven't actually seen any of the lists, but somebody keeps leaving around papers with things that just look like nonsense, at first, that I've had to pick up. [ litterbugs. ] Every time I've read them, looked at the photos on them, it's felt like my head was splitting in two - same thing happens to the others in our debrief meetings.
no subject
Although that doesn't explain the memory loss. Just the absence.
no subject
It's a problem. Not the first time my memories have been played with, either, so I'm more inclined to run with the theory.
no subject
I wonder if there was more to it, though. You didn't die. Whatever happened to the rest of the crew, you guys are still here. Maybe the memories play into why.
no subject
but he sighs, rubbing along the almost organic looking shape of his neck wetware and trying to work an ache out as he thinks. ] It's entirely possible... if you guys keep finding those logs, the lists, the photos, it -
Well. It'll keep hurting, probably, for us to look at them. But it'll be good for us to keep seeing them after you guys have reviewed them yourselves.
no subject
Maybe it'll stop hurting, eventually. Like exposure therapy.

RESULTS: SHOMA ENDA
robotic engineering, decryption, problemsolving, outrunning his problems, succeeding what no one else has before, being hard to read, disappearing without warning, knowing people's secrets without telling them, pretending he doesn't actually care about things, sarcasm through neutrality, making rash decisions, losing things out of his control

no subject
Navigator? What the hell does that mean?
no subject
I'm not sure... that sounds like maybe something that Metis would do, though. [ squints ] I wanted to tell you that if you trusted someone, you could rope them in as backup. Someone to talk to besides me about all this, if you wanted to. But... I suppose if you wanted to reach out to someone else with an extra designation role like this, it might be a little different.
[ OOCly telling other roles you have a role will not count towards your +1 but getting "I'll do Shoma" last week was. so funny. ]
no subject
[ who else will she tell. who knows. ]
no subject
no subject
And hey, one out of two isn't a bad success rate. I am unsurprisingly good at thinking people are suspicious. [ haha!!! ]
no subject
But I'll take care of it. We're... we're scheduling an emergency meeting tonight, anyways. The escalation of things doesn't bode well for anyone, and it's more clear than ever we don't have much control of the ship or her systems. If things change every week, or it's a guessing game of what's going to happen on a Sunday from what we've already seen... if this keeps going... we have to go our own way to getting it to stop.
no subject
... And what does your own way look like?
no subject
I'll let you know what the talks give us. I know that Adrastea and Metis took blood and nanite samples on Thursday, so Io's going to take a look at them and the scans that they did, to kickstart us.
no subject
... Blood and nanite testing is a good start.
