That Time They All Met in the CQ

[chiseler]

[Let's be honest, nobody had time to info-share Monday what with motives going live after they came down from the top-level deck and also…you know. The whole awkward thing with the corpse. That happened.

Arrangements are made, the whiteboard's been moved and…there's a wedding.

What the fuck, Cradle.

Either way, assume that Luke found your character in person, sent a message via Furry Passing or contacted them via some other means to inform them about a group meeting up in the Captain's Quarters after the wedding to talk about their findings from the day before.

He's not a leader, and it's probably clear from the way he's leaning against the wall next to the whiteboard and dumping handfuls of space-brand Skittles into his mouth.]

All right…so this happened. [This, of course, being the top deck.] We were all up here yesterday and so we should probably start figuring stuff out. It weirds me out that Alice let us up here now after all this time. [He shrugs.] Who wants to go first?

[ Jack has presumably listened to the theories here so far, since it's not like I got sucked into a TV show last night and died, nope... But he'll eventually speak up, and as he speaks, he gestures with his hands, always a physical speaker. ]

Well, with whatever the hell that was, think that's a fair assumption, if only because assuming the opposite there would be a dumbass thing to do.

[ Assuming that is is dangerous is definitely better than assuming it isn't, after all. ]

But as for the why? I mean, I'm assuming 'cause they're parasites. Viruses. Not animals or anything like that, because if we're talking behavior, that's got an easy explanation. We know about 'em now. We want to kill 'em. Or at least, I sure as hell do. [ is anyone surprised that jack wants to kill though ] So assuming they're not idiots, they've gotta lay low if they want to even survive. You wanna talk behavior, that's primal.

[ Jack pauses, then adds: ]

That aside, if we think of them more like a parasite than an animal, then their goal seems pretty straightforward to me. They're either hitching a ride in someone to get someone else or they're trying to infect more people. Both are pretty unfortunate, but that first one-- Okay, well, until all the weird shit this week, think about it. You've got a ship full of people all from different places, and preeeeetty sure we all want to get the hell out of here. Nice and convenient for them, because it means they can just wait and ride it out until we get home. Then? We wouldn't have Al. Just the real straightforward method.
