003 | AUDIO, fleetwide

[dawnwillcome]

Who: Jove Lavellan
Broadcast: fleetwide audio
Action: on that weirdass bug ship
When: NOW!!


I don't know how many of us have all been through this ship so far, but it looks as though there's still a lot of it in working order. Or it could be in working order, if we were to put forth the effort to get it that way. I think if enough of us were to work together, we might be able to see to at least turning some lights on, if not getting the thing running properly again.

The bugs are dangerous, of course, so if there are any security officers who could spare the time to come with us engineers when the time comes, I'm sure we'd all appreciate a little extra fire power. I suppose you could say this is less of a call to arms and more of a call to discussing who is willing to come along and repair a very strange alien ship. So... who's with me?

[There's a pause after that, and it could be because the audio has ended just there, until...]

And if anyone has seen a slightly grumpy bald elf, could you send him my direction?

[ She's been watching this the whole time, and ... hm. She's just not sure she trusts Jove's instincts as far as what to do here, both because of her own reservations in regard to the state of the ship ... and because she just seems to have a record for making bad decisions. She doesn't know what this "pendant" business is, but it sounds like there's quite a few marks that aren't in Jove's favor.

Also, you know, the last time they fucked around with creepy space ships full of nasty creatures it was probably the least fun Ino has had in her entire life.

So she'll be stepping in to back up Allen ]

Information is always plenty important, but here's the thing. If something caused the bugs to act so strangely, it was most likely an external source. Something that could affect us too, especially if we start getting involved with the actual ship. Trust me when I say it's not a good idea to screw around with that stuff.

[Allen listens to her, trying to judge how much what she says is true. Allen was an empathetic fellow, but he wasn't a trusting one. It was clear, at least, what she was saying about Tek (Tek was the dragon? Jeez. Did anyone tell the truth on their medical forms?) seems to be quite sincere]

[As for the latter part...well, he's glad Ino chimes in when she does. It gives him something to focus on. A direction to go instead of heading into the land of distrust. Sure, maybe he'll address the Tek portion in the moment, but for now...]

Ino's right. We've both seen firsthand how these situations can go very badly. Any information that this could give us about Atroma or our ships wouldn't be worth that. [And honestly, he's not sure he completely believes it's just information she wants. But he chooses not to voice that doubt]

We should look into the bug creatures first. There are several gifted medical personnel examining dead specimen as we speak. If there is evidence of something affecting them, we should look into what is doing it and make sure it won't has a chance of affecting us. If there isn't evidence of something changed, we look for the source of the distress signal and see if it is a fake, or if there's still something we could do to help.

Then you can look into information about Atroma.

[Any information that this could give us about Atroma or our ships wouldn't be worth that. She doesn't agree, disagrees entirely in fact, because that seems grossly wasteful to her. What if inspecting the ships gave them locations, ways to break free of the pull of the Marsiva, a way to return to their own worlds? That would be worth the attempt, wouldn't it? It seems foolish to see that possibility and let it slide past because of uncertainty.

But it isn't as though the both of them have no valid points. There may be a time frame they're working on, it's entirely likely they'll lose the chance to do anything of worth with the ship if they don't do it now, but if so many are so fearful ignoring them would only be worse in the long run.

And it isn't only her decision, she never wanted it to be, if these two think she's the only one listening she can't just let their suggestions go unanswered.]

I am sorry for the things you've suffered to give you this knowledge, both of you. I can promise that, for my part, what you've said will be heeded. There are others who may not agree, of course, but I suppose we'll deal with that if it comes up.

[She feels very much like the Inquisitor now, less Jove than she has been in months, but perhaps that's the way to do things here if she expects to make headway. And if she is going to operate as the Inquisitor, perhaps she needs more advisors.]

Both of you have a great deal of knowledge that the time I come from simply hasn't gotten to yet. I would be grateful if you would continue helping like this. If we work together things will go much faster.
