let us bow our heads
[it may be too optimistic to hope that it has something to do with respect, but Atroma has been very quiet. in the wake of the growing stillness on the Iskaulit, neither of the fleet's hosts have broken the peace with their chipper voices.
if the passengers are being watched as closely as they always claim, it is being done in silence.
whether or not the remainder of the living bugs are being kept somewhere for observation, and regardless of the fact that the discussion of what to ultimately do with the ship is still ongoing, it has been generally agreed that something respectful should be done with the dead, and that the remaining spores should be washed away.
so, this will all be done through a combined effort of vacuum and fire, and the time for this purge has been set.
feet on the ground are needed to prepare the foreign ship for purging--securing anything that could be damaged, and safely packing away delicate data-storing instruments and anything belonging to the fleet itself. anyone willing to help could surely find something to do.
and for anyone wishing to bless, reflect, honor, or pray... now is the time to do so. whether aboard the Iskaulit itself before the purge, offering a voice over the network, or simply watching from nearby shuttles and ships, this is the fleet's moment to help send off the crew of the Iskaulit with dignity.]
ooc: this is the final IC mod post for June! the purge itself will be implied for the most part, but anyone with skills in mechanics or fire-controlling may assume they were involved.
this post specifically is for any interactive threads involved in the final days before the Iskaulit is cleaned, and anything funerary, including broadcasts. even if you just want to put up a closed comment describing what private way your character is taking part in this makeshift 'ceremony,' go for it.
an OOC post summarizing and officially wrapping up the rest of June will go up as soon as we're able.

Wrath still cares about North enough that she wants to defend him. Because as far as her understanding goes, she did screw everything up there.]
Well, the selfish thing was more that he was having a super bad day, and then York wanted to do a shot and I was dumb and said yes, and then it did something really weird with my chems and... it's kind of a long and stupid story. I really should have been more thoughtful.
[But the fact that Julian doesn't think there's something wrong with polyamory? Makes her feel a lot better. The only other person she'd ever heard that from was Foxtrot, and that was Foxtrot.]
I'd really like that. As long as you'll be okay. [Because she is serious about not wanting to hurt him.]
no subject
But he doesn't like her words.]
He had a bad day, that's no excuse to take it out on you. And if something went wrong with your medication and alcohol... well, it was a bit silly to drink if you'd been told not to on them, but it's not your fault that you did have that reaction and even less so if you didn't know it could happen!
[He huffs slightly, trying to let out his frustration at this person he doesn't even know but who doesn't seem to have been half as kind to Wrath as she deserved.
Instead, he turns slightly, brings his free hand up to cup her jaw softly.]
I think, I would very much like to spend some time with you.
no subject
[That she's physically broken, and that she still resents Whiskey for saving her, even though it's not fair for her to do so. And she has to try to be fair, because what else is left?
She's going to let that particular argument go for now, about North. As much as she feels guilty for not defending him as much as she could. She doesn't want to have to explain the whole stupid thing to Julian, it's still painful to think about.
And him touching her like that? Feels really, really good. Maybe she's still making up for a couple of decades of having no close connection with anyone. Or maybe it's the loneliness of Maine not being around getting to her already. Or maybe she just really likes Julian. All three, probably. She lets out a small, happy sigh, turning her face a little into his hand.] I'm really glad to hear that.
[Slightly dorky grin.] My ship or yours?
no subject
[Her jaw feels small in his hand, the skin soft like her hands aren't. She thinks her worth is only in her job as a soldier and he hates that she feels that way about herself.
He dips down and gives her a gentle kiss across the mouth, lingering briefly before straightening again.]
I, ah, we don't have rooms on the Starstruck.
no subject
[And she resents him for saving her still, even though she knows it is neither kind nor generous to feel that way.
She'd much rather focus on the being kissed thing. She likes kissing, and does make a pleased little murmur.]
Neither do we. But I've got a little armory to call home. It's very comfortable.
no subject
Lead on, in that case.
no subject
She gives Julian's hand a squeeze, takes one last look at the memorial, and leads him to the Windrose. Yeah, the armory is little better than a closet, but it's a private space. And there are guns. And armor. Armor and guns. These are things that make her happy. It's easy enough to grab some blankets and make a little nest in there. That's where she'd gone to work on the art, so she had space for herself.]
