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?

team hallway update

[chiseler]

Dave, Roxy and I took the elevator up and checked out the hallways right off of it first. Dave decided he wanted to go left…found a door that was pretty much frozen shut. Fog drifting out, too cold to touch, all that stuff. Locked tight. Roxy managed to get inside--you can ask her for the pictures--but it looks like we've got a bunch of pods hanging out in there. Frozen pods. Who knows what that means. [Dead bodies tbh.] Door also had Electric Sheep Room labeled on it. Don't listen to Dave and Roxy, I don't want us to be robots.

Anyway. We found another door at the other end of the hall but this one had Gaea on the door…for those of you just tuning in, Gaea's the earth goddess. This door was also locked and too big for Roxy to phase through…but not locked enough I couldn't break into it. [Shrug. He leans back then to reveal a drawing on the whiteboard of the floating ball of water they saw.] Not sure what this is other than a floating ball of water, but Alice figured out I busted open the door and she slammed it shut after that. Couldn't get back in after that.

So…now taking bets to what that was.

[parodeity]

Hey, it's not my fault electric sheep is a ref to androids? But frozen pods mean bodies or robots, p sure. Either seems like a fair guess.

[muties]

They could be fridges for like food, too, but doubt it.

[bloodteller]

If it's bodies in there, that's a form of food, right?

...Sorry, it was just waiting to be said.

[refactor]

[ jesus christ yuno ]

Woah, woah, don't be goin' cannibal on us just yet, kiddo. At least wait until, I dunno, we have a food shortage?

[ that's clearly the problem here, not the eating people part. #borderlands ]

[chiseler]

There is the part where some of us found a body in the kitchen. Don't forget that. [NO?]

[refactor]

Well, yyyyyeah, but I figure the people stew was one of those things, right?

[ Jack laughs, then jerks a thumb at Yuno ]

I mean, unless Yuno here was just real hungry and totally blamed it on them, but, eh, no one's perfect, right?

[bloodteller]

I don't know if this is a disappointment or not, but I was joking! Sorry.

Also I wouldn't eat you, Jack. [ obviously an important point to make...? ??? ]

[refactor]

We'll say about half and half. On one hand, totally good you're not a cannibal, since, like, have you ever met a cannibal? They're-- Okay, well, maybe you don't need to. They're about as bad and crazy as you'd expect. Like, we used to have these cannibals living in the Veins of—

[ Jack waves his hand, realizing he's getting off track here, but what kind of story was he starting to tell ]

Aaaahhh, nevermind. Point is, thank you, kiddo. Glad to not be on the menu.

[tevinteriscoming]

Didn't the Admiral say her crew had died to save the civilians on board? If the pods can protect us from those things, what if the civilians are in there?

[chiseler]

How would they be surviving in something so cold and cramped? Like being put to sleep like we were?

[parodeity]

Cryo containment or whatever is a sci-fi standard, so I could buy it.

[chiseler]

If you expect me to really know what that is, I think I need to remind you that I've never seen a bunsen burner before coming on this ship. But if it's something standard maybe we're finally getting somewhere. What else is sci-fi standard?

[parodeity]

Uh, it's just super putting bodies on ice but you can keep them alive. Like, in movies when someone gets cryo'd and wakes up a hundred years in the future...what else is sci-fi standard, though.

[ dave thinks about it. ]

Laser swords, but Jason has that covered.

[chiseler]

I kinda wish we could all have laser swords at this point. Or at least have access to the stuff in the weapons locker since none of that makes a ton of sense. I guess I can't imagine how anybody can stay alive on ice. Your temperature would fluctuate too much I would think but like I said, I don't know much about sci-fi. I've been kinda living a whole other life that doesn't make sense.

[Mythology, man.] It just means there's more to expect.

[antagonize]

Could be bodies. Unless they're tossing a corpse out the airlock every weekend, they have to be storing all our dead guys somewhere.

[parodeity]

I'd buy that one, tbh.
