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!

[ he seems vaguely confused by her saying this, but - in a concerned sort of way, as he holds out his hand without question to make sure she's steady. he's still in the vent, by the by. ]

Do we need to bail?

[thematics]

[ just an arm reaching out from the vent. thank you, comforting. she just uses it to like. brace herself and also climb back in, actually. ]

We should. My head is killing me.

[upholden]

[ at least it's a familiar arm, and not a fleshy one. he helps her stay steady as she crawls back in, rubbing her back encouragingly. ]

Alright, let's get you out of here. I blinked and you were done - you manage to talk to her any?

[thematics]

[ she'll try and head back the way they came... no flesh please... ]

Really? It felt like I was there for a long time. Longer than five minutes, now that I think about it. [ ... ] Something close to it. And... whatever has her taken over.

She said we need to take it out at its roots. And that it's going home.

[upholden]

[ fortunately, the path does not change from what it was. there's no flesh awaiting them, but it's still very cold - shiro shrugs off his bomber jacket and drapes it over her shoulders since she's the one that just had her shit rocked. ]

Its... roots? The next destination is supposed to be the Nut & Bolt HQ, so I'm not sure if that's going to be "home" or not, but we can try to check.

[thematics]

[ she gives him a lil nod... thanks shiro you're a pal. ]

"Supposed to be" or is? What about all the files Enda has been getting about the worm world?

[upholden]

I'm not going to jump to is, at this point. The dossier populated, the system says it is, but you and I both know that we can't trust things on this ship. Especially with the confirmation that there's something in the Eudora.

But I'll be honest, I have no idea. If we wind up at worm world instead I'm going to lose my mind.

[thematics]

Maybe we have to go there. To destroy the thing at its root.

Orrrr maybe going there is the thing that gets us completely consumed and we all die.

[upholden]

I mean. [ with the tone of voice that says i wasn't going to say it, but. ]

The answer to that is "then we just kill it first," right? Or make sure that it can't succeed at the very least. I think we can at least manage that one.

[ also cola if you would like to switch this to friday instead of wednesday you may, i didn't mean for it to go on this long but we were having fun. ]

[thematics]

[ salutes. i will say it was friday just because then it means she didn't just. not say anything for several days LOL. :bless: ]

We just kill it first. Yeah.

This ship has had combat systems staff, right? So does it have actual combat systems?
