ROLE — CAPTAIN'S LOG 📁

[dropoffs]

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.
    ↳ 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.
    ↳ 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!

[ frankly he also seems surprised by this as it populates. ] 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. ]

[thematics]

... I'll talk to him. He's got a good head on his shoulders, I'm sure we can do more working together.

[ who else will she tell. who knows. ]

[dropoffs]

He's a good kid. [ ganymede agrees that they'd work well together. ] If he asks about your work, captain, you can tell him. And that it's me. Up to you, but it might help you network - and I can figure things out on my end, too, with the other officers.

[thematics]

Good. I'll leave the other officers to you, then.

And hey, one out of two isn't a bad success rate. I am unsurprisingly good at thinking people are suspicious. [ haha!!! ]

[dropoffs]

Haha, some suspicion can pay off,right? 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.

[thematics]

[ 'some' is an understatement in her case, but it's. fine. probably. ]

... And what does your own way look like?

[dropoffs]

We're not wholly sure yet. We're going to have that meeting to figure it out, but... anything that can put a stop to the deaths that are happening. Anything that can get you guys home. 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.

[thematics]

What about you guys? Say you figure out a way to get us home. Do you guys have somewhere to get back to, too?

... Blood and nanite testing is a good start.
