Who: Ino and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Blue Fish
When: Now!

[ Ino looks a little frazzled, but she's all business when she addresses the camera. ]

Hey everyone! An update on the research going on right now. Well, as far as I know, anyways. If anyone has any findings besides what I'm about to say, let me know, I'll add it to the list.

To make this short and sweet, we've figured out that these aliens are pretty damn intelligent -- near to or on par with humans. [ She holds up a hand, as if to shush the people watching ] Immortals and non-humans, please save your jokes about how dumb we are for the end, please and thank you.

Anyways, they're pretty smart, but they weren't really supposed to be all crazy and vicious. So we looked into it and it looks like they've been exposed to some sort of fungus that's severely damaged their nervous system. If you didn't know, that's linked to the brain, and so very much affects how they act and think. We're thinking that's shorted out their ability to think and reason properly. Hence the conflicting violent attitude compared to the distress signal they sent out before.

Soooo, if you haven't put two and two together -- until we figure out the deal with this mold, how to potentially cure the damage it's caused, so on and so forth -- I would not recommend going on the ship at all until we can determine for sure that it's not going to infect us, too. I know there's a lot of interesting things going on on the ship, but you don't know what that shit could do to you. [ A beat ] Seriously.

If you're going to be a stubborn idiot and go on the ship anyways, I'm going to be keeping an eye on the entrance and keep note of anyone who decides to go in, so you can be monitored in the future. You know, just in case this comes back to bite us later, which it probably will, because that's how these things work.

If you've been on the ship and you're worried about your own personal health, or have noticed any recent symptoms you think are off in some way, I'd be happy to check and see if your everything is in order! I'd also recommend drinking a lot of water the next few days to flush any toxins out of your body.

Anybody have any questions? I'm Ino, captain of the Three Twins for those who don't know me. Just let me know.

[ And with a short little wave, she ends the feed. ]

[ Laughs ]

What about Lenalee or Lavi?

[He makes a huff at the laughter as he finally sips his tea. Rude Ino. Just rude]

I wouldn't mind seeing Lavi and Lenalee again. Though Lenalee might cry or kick me really hard, so there's that. [He's not sure which is worse]

Eh? Why would she kick you?

Oh. Last time I saw her at Paradisa, she said back home I'd been missing for three months? And sometimes when she gets worried enough, she gets violent.

[More like Allen does a stupidass thing that doesn't help with the worries. Like right now, mentioning all that completely casually after neglecting to mention that tidbit for oh, ever]

-- Three months?!

[ YEAH WHAT THE FUCK ALLEN ]

Er-

[SHIT WHOOPS]

I'd be pretty worried if I were her, too ... !

I'm sure it's- [okay, saying it's "fine" is probably too much BS even for him no way she'd buy that]

I'll turn up, I'm sure.

[ She sets her teacup down to fold her arms across her chest ]

Even if you do, I can see why she'd be upset.

I know, I know...I didn't say I'd stop her from kicking me.

[Just not looking forward to it! Or the crying]

[ A little smile ... ]

... How long ago was that, anyways?

[.................this is a trap. He knows it's a trap]

Ah-

...Awhile? Last time Lenalee was in Paradisa...

Which was when?

[...............]

S-so! Nervous system affecting fungus! That's a rather disturbing development!

[Allen attempts SUBJECT CHANGE-NO-JUTSU]

Don't change the subject!

Ah-

[Oh. It wasn't very effective. Drat. :< ]

I just didn't want to worry you!

Why would it --[ She fumbles with her words for a moment, clearly frustrated ] I told you about how I might be dead at home ... ! We're friends, Allen, it's not a bother to know those types of things!

But I-

[But he stops himself as Ino talks, because she's right. She did tell him about that very real fear, and he held back. Even though she was his closest friend.]

[His shoulders slumped a little as he deflates.]

Look I'm sorry. I know you told me that and...

[And what? What could he possibly say? ...Probably the truth]

When she told me that, I figured...it was the Order's doing. Making people disappear is something Central's done before. And...after what happened before I left, it wasn't...unexpected.

Sorry, Ino.

[ She watches him carefully as he elaborates, looking more and more concerned ...

She doesn't even want or care about the apology right now. She's more completely horrified that his own people would do something like that to him. ]

So you think they ... they made you "disappear", too ... ?

[He'd say that Central stopped seeing him as part of their people the moment the signs of the Noah started showing- but he knows that's a lie. He saw how they treated Kanda, Alma- all the other experiments. None of them had anything to do with the Noah clan. That didn't matter. Central probably never saw them as people in the first place.]

[No matter how many times he reminded himself of that, it still hurt. The Order had been his home.]

... Yes. Most likely.

[ ... She looks down into her cup ]

I'm sorry. I didn't realize ...

[ Like, it's still something she would have wanted to know, but she can also see why he didn't want to bring it up, now ]

...It's alright.

I knew the possible consequences, and I don't regret what I did.

Still ... that's ...

[ It's awful. But, he knows that ... ]

I mean, I get why you didn't want to bring it up.

Well, no. I don't like telling people, but...

You have a point. You did tell me about your possible death back home, and...I held back. I shouldn't have done that.

... Well -- I guess, yeah. You shouldn't ever feel like you can't tell me stuff. I don't want you to feel like that, anyways.
