Who: Nightingale and you
Broadcast: Video, fleetwide
Action: On the Bishop
When: Now

[The video feed starts, showing Nightingale sitting at a table, shuffling a few papers around awkwardly until she's sure the video is on.]

Something I've noticed for a while now is that there's a lot of new people showing up near-constantly, and they all seem to have the same questions. And since they're stuck on the Marsiva for a week, they don't really have people to give them that information, past asking the network, which doesn't always work so well. Especially while people are on a planet, or busy trying to repair their ships, or things like that. And even if everyone is around to give answers, answering the same thing over and over again gets really tiring after a while.

So, I've been working on a sort of an introduction guide, for the new people. [She indicates the papers on the table.] The problem is, I haven't been here that long myself, comparatively to some. I don't know a lot, and there's a lot that people need to know. Apparently that fleet of ships that messed us up a little while ago actually attacked us once before? And I think that's something pretty important to know, in case they come back again, so we can be more prepared for fighting them off. Or anything else important that's happened.

I'm looking for people who have been here for a while and are willing to help with that project, providing information to help write this guide. So... Please let me know if you can help.

[There's a small pause, then she adds:]

Also, has anyone seen Riley Matthews lately? She also goes by Lark. I haven't been able to get a hold of her in a while, and I'm starting to get worried.

[And with that, she turns off the feed.]

Okay, good. ... It's still worrying, though, if we don't know how it got in in the first place...

I know, but since most of the ship's records were destroyed, we don't have much to go on. The Nunnalis on the ocean planet didn't know what happened either.

... Could have been the Atroma, but I don't know if I should blame them for everything.

The same thought occurred to me. They control our flight path after all... And we just happen upon an infected ship? It is suspicious at the very least.

They control our flight path, they claim to want drama for the supposed show, and... Well, they can pull people from anywhere. Even other universes. With that kind of power, dropping a bit of fungus in a ship without anyone noticing can't be hard...

They have the ability and the motive.

[She nods.]

My thoughts exactly. I don't know that there's much we can do about it right now... but it's something to keep in mind.

... Not right now, no. But I'm going to start training up my magic again, just in case. Maybe I can regain the spells I lost that way... Something like Heal might be able to fix something like the fungus.

Maybe. I don't know much about magic, so I can't say.
