Who: Santanico Pandemonium and YOU
Broadcast: fleetwide text
Action: SS Golden
When: now

[Santanico sits by the window, looking outside at space. At least there isn't sunlight here, she doesn't have to worry about it burning or hurting her skin and yet she almost misses it. She had only spent a month with Richie before ending up here. She only had a month of freedom. It's almost funny.

Except where it isn't at all.

She refuses to be complacent. She spent over five hundred years as a prisoner in that "temple", that place of worship, she will not be another one here. Which is why she opens up her feed. (using the device has been an adjustment)]

Does anyone know who is responsible for us being here? Why has no one fought back? Do you enjoy being slaves?

[That's it. That's the post.]

hi fresh meat

wow sounds like your life back home must be super awesome i'm really sorry you can't get back right away but hopefully there will be a way eventually there's a lot of really smart people here who are good at figuring things out and i have faith in them they are kind and generous to go with being really smart

far as i know i'm not a slave though i'm a security officer which is a pretty good job and i work hard to do my best!

but uh it's pretty fucking rude to make assumptions about everyone else in the fleet just fyi

I have things to attend to back home. Whether awesome or not, debatable, but important all the same.

Did you choose to be a security officer? Or did they hijack your brain and force you into it like they did the rest of us.

that's what i got assigned so that's my job and it's a thing i like so that's pretty cool

um on the scale of brain hijacking 0 being no and 10 being like compliance session brain wipe tbh this is like a 2 or 3

like i get why people are uptight about it but it could be a zillion times worse and you'd never even know except everything would taste like honey and you wouldn't be able to stop smiling

Ah yes, it could be worse so we should accept what we're given.

Always a good defense.

I've seen worse, I don't care to see it again.

you're doing that thing where you're saying that i'm saying shit when that isn't what i said and it's pretty obvious you know that's not what i said so i guess you're just doing it to be an asshole

you do realize that if you're gonna be a dick that's not really going to make your crewmates want to help you out right

anyway if you've seen worse then that's a positive thing that this isn't worse

Maybe I'm not concerned whether they help me or not.

I suppose there is that much. Which isn't much.

oh jesus fuck are you one of those hurfdurf don't need no one's help lone wolf people?

not much is still more than nothing

[mordedura]

I've had to rely on myself for most of my existence, so excuse me if I'm not clamoring to be little miss popularity.

[pain_train]

teamwork isn't the same as popularity tho

but if you got a team they'll watch your back and you watch theirs that's the way it works

[mordedura]

[The truth is Santanico has never had a team, never had people she could honestly trust.]

assuming they can be trusted.

[pain_train]

most people are good kind and generous!

[mordedura]

You do realize how naive you sound, don't you?
