ROLE — NAVIGATOR 🧭
NAVIGATOR
welcome, crewmate SHOMA ENDA.
On SUNDAY, once the unfortunate procedures of ... "Execution" has gone over, Shoma will hear the familiar ping of the I.R.I.S. at his wrist; the moment that he lifts up his hand to check what the noise is for, a window immediately pops up. The projection fills in a spread of maroon, and a message sent only to their designation loads in the window.
There is no compulsion to obey the request, but it is an extension of knowledge, and curiosity - and could be interesting.

Shoma Enda,
Unfortunate and ill timing given what's just happened, but mayhaps this invitation can provide some insight into what's to come with these upcoming weeks. I wish I could have done this at a better time but it is a decision that must be made before our next travel destination.
Meet me here as soon as possible and I'll be sure to explain more thoroughly.

METIS
A location pops up on the I.R.I.S. once the message is read, and will indicate where Shoma needs to go to meet with Metis. It will lead to a command room in which only the Senior Crew is allowed access, and an important factor when it comes to navigation. When he gets there, he'll find the COS waiting patiently, observing a line of data and routes illuminated on a panel above the main control that vanishes once they spot Shoma. A brief ! displays on the visor of their helmet before they lead them towards a table for seating with a gesture, some snacks and drinks already prepared.
"Let's have a seat. Ready to go over the details?"
"Let's have a seat. Ready to go over the details?"
RULES
As the role responsible for navigation, along with information that is acquired, Shoma is expected to follow a few rules:
1. For now, keep your new designation a secret. This can be revisited at a later date. Should this designation be shared with anyone without prior authorization, consequences and termination of position are possible.
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. As the Navigator, Shoma will be presented with two/three routes to take in order to reach the Eudora's next stop. Each route will come with a brief description, and Shoma may only choose one. No further details will be offered regarding the route until the following Monday, and each will have its own consequences to bear. If you choose not to act, then a choice will be made for you.
4. Additionally, Shoma may use this time to speak directly with Metis each week. They may ask questions, receive small hints, or simply chat with them, though any information received will be subject to Metis' own discretion.
5. Your findings will be given to you after your decision is made on Sunday, with results of the path chosen announced Monday morning with the new mingle post.

[ Harder to say something hasn't happened before when there is clearly things they do not remember. ]
...It could help. Even just a little. And.. it may not be any easier for us, but it is still your crew suffering the most of it. [ Frowning, seeming to think something over... ] If you'd like, just to add a bit of comfort, I can give you permission to tell someone of your role and responsibilities here. Just so you have someone else to talk to about what you do here than just me.
no subject
...some of you seem to think it's getting worse with time, too. And that's a little alarming. All the more reason some of us are trying to find solutions, too.
[ he props his head up with his prosthetic hand, watching them for a moment. ]
Everything about this ship is completely frustrating, but it's stupid not to think that the senior crew has their own set of problems that need to be worked out, too. I'm not interested in playing the "who has it worst" game anymore when it's bad for everyone. I doubt most of us want to see you guys suffering either when it's obvious something is wrong. [ to the last bit though, he pauses again. there's a conflicted expression that crosses his features, and he's silently thinking on this. ]
...thank you. I might just...keep it to myself though. I don't know yet. But that does help knowing it's an option.
no subject
[ Eerily bright red eyes stare off, until he blinks and looks back to Shoma. ]
Whatever it is that plagues us, I ensure I will do what asks of us to aid you. It is my wish to see you all safely returned home.
[ A promise. Though, that last bit does have a sympathetic look, nodding. ]
It is ultimately your decision. Though, I am sure having another crew to confide in that is not a Senior member may help ease the burdens just a little.
no subject
[ cyoa really did just unlock his character development about actually accepting and reaching out for help, jesus. anyway. ]
...all of us are getting off of this ship. You still have things to do for your world, remember? So. We'll see the whole thing through as best as we can.
[ ...ugh. ]
Let's say I chose to tell her. [ because. literally mizuki is always going to be his first consideration, even though he really does not sound thrilled. ] Could I also show her the information I've been getting when I make my picks?
no subject
[ Some information for him. But he does nod at that mention, showing a small smile. ] Of course. As soon as you're all returned safely, I would like to return to my own as well. So we'll work towards that.
[ Ah. ]
Let's say. [ Just a gentle encouragement. He knows who he must refer to. ] Regarding the journal entry and update to location details? Yes. I don't see why you couldn't. As long as she doesn't say who she got it from, she may even be able to spread that information around in your place.
no subject
That...changes a lot of how I was approaching this, but I guess it's good to know that it's something else that has to be moving from place to place. Did you guys get a recording of the results? I wanted to see for myself. [ because of npc funky memories... ] That is technically good news though. It means we can start on another route to find an answer...if I'm allowed to mention that to people, too.
[ he seems satisfied that he agrees that they can work together. it's progress, to say the least, and he will not argue further. they can all figure out how to get home.
and speaking of home. yeah! he is under no illusion that the senior crew wouldn't know who he means. ]
She's...way chattier than I am. She'd be one of the best people to get information out there. Well, her or Charles. It'd make sense. [ ... ] But I don't know if I want to tell her and give her another thing to worry about with me being here in the first place. That's why I'm looking at options, and what I can actually tell whoever it is I choose to tell.
no subject
[Sometimes you have the same planet number and just know... but he is respectful in not mentioning her name outright. He will leave that to Shoma.]
The two of them certainly talk to quite a number of us in the Senior Crew and I'm sure the Junior Crew as well so they do seem like very good choices. So coming from either one, it wouldn't seem too strange for information to be shared by them. [ Approval either way from him. ]
no subject
That'd be awesome. I'll check in with them tomorrow. I...have some other things I'd like to discuss with them anyway. That's possible though? I'm not really that well-versed when it comes to medical like that, but I'd like to give it a try. If anything, I can at least tell people that we need to find a new track.
[ because again, what the hell is this thing. ]
...I'll think about it. See what happens over the week and make a decision then. [ and then isabel can fucking ambush him after this meeting. god. anyway. looking at his choices... ]
How bad would you say Umbral Winds are?
no subject
It's possible. Io may be more inclined with medical, but you have your way around tech and machinery, yes? I'm sure you can meet in the middle to find a way to make sense of it. So do give it a try - especially if it'll help.
[ Honestly, mood. Wtf is going on. ]
Of course. [ At that, his head tilts with a flick of his ear. ] Hmm, I know the Source was well known for occasionally having Umbral Winds... I suppose it could be best described as a strong case of winds, of course a bit more than that given our traversing through space and all.
no subject
Yeah, I do. [ he is modest to a point but let's not kid ourselves. ] I'll reach out tomorrow then just to take a look. If we can get any sort of idea...maybe we can stop things before they get bad again this week.
[ mimicking the head tilt. ] The Source? [ but okay hm, heavy winds...not sure if good for staying on course. he sees, he sees. ]
no subject
Ah. The Source is what I refer to as my home world. Though, I was last staying at the First before my arrival here, the First being a reflection of the Source. [ A shake of their head just little home things. Nothing important. ]
no subject
[ but...hmmm. ]
I was gonna pick the middle route this time because I hadn't yet, but high winds buffeting the ship don't sound great. And I'm not sure how I feel about rocks possibly hitting us either. Smog should be fine though? The Eudora has enough high beam lights to get through and see, don't you think?
no subject
[ But yeah! Pathways! ]
She should technically speaking yes, though She's also capable of dealing with even nastier weathers and pathways as well. Despite her inner workings, She's quite tough on the outside.
no subject
no, wait, focus, shoma. ]
You're sure? [ listen...he likes you guys but your memeries... ] If that's true, then maybe I'll stick with the pattern after all and go for the one I haven't yet. Winds are bad, but if you think the ship can stay on course without more stuff throwing it off then I think I have my choice.
no subject
Though I am gladden you seek my own opinions and thoughts on it - it is your decision. [ Metis is here to guide through either way. ] We'll make the best of it whichever path we take.
no subject
Then...let's see what kind of information we get this time.
no subject
Let us see. [ Path chosen... good jorb! Takes a moment to start writing something down in a journal rather than his datapad or IRIS. ]
no subject
and he gets this data file and he's just :tails: for a second. looking between the file. then at metis. then the file. then metis again.
okay. hold on. ]
...going back to the old-fashioned way?
no subject
Pardon?
no subject
no subject
[ Tech issues? Yeah. ]
no subject
no subject
I would rather face it head on than turn a blind eye.
no subject
Do...you remember keeping journal entries like this?
no subject
[ He will read... and as expected, there's a notable wince ow head. Before he shifts his right arm onto his lap with an obvious tension. ] ..It feels vaguely familiar, but that is all, I am afraid.
