sixth labyrinth
Who: Felix Harrowgate (glitched)
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Marsiva
When: Nov. 22
[Felix has never been very good at ignoring the unpleasant. He often distracted himself with books, booze, or the company of other men. Usually this made the problem worse rather than better, like unconsciously picking at a wound so that it never really healed, or healed badly when it did. He'd done his best to adopt the policy on the fleet that he'd no longer get involved. He'd no longer worry at details over which he had no control.
The internment aboard the Marsiva was testing his skills of avoidance. He'd already noted people asking about things that no one but they could see and kept his mouth shut, filing it as yet another of the Atroma's manipulations of their perceptions and not to be entertained.
When he'd seen the strange door he'd gone the better part of the day doing anything else he could think of - cooking, walking, drinking, even watching a movie. Naturally, he ends up standing in front of the same door later in the day, unable to put it out of his mind. Also, naturally, Felix has been paying some attention, and knows that there's a high chance that this hallucination is unique to himself and, if he's lucky, a few other people on board.
So, when he decides to ask about what he's seeing, he makes sure to phrase the question very carefully...]
At the risk of stating the obvious, something very odd is going on.
[He makes a sound of frustration and decides to just get on with it] Is anyone here familiar with cryobeds? Or cryo-sleep?
[Why he's asking this might be anyone's guess, as the video looks like he's standing inside a supply closet, unless they also happen to have a glitched lab or cook augment. Likewise, most people who might happen to be wandering past this part of the hall might notice a door propped open with a metal box, where the sounds of rattling and shifting can be heard as Felix looks over what appear to him to be cryobeds and what appear to most of the passengers to be nothing else but random clutter with an oddly intense expression]

[Ugh, stop rummaging around in the rubbish, Felix, it's unbecoming. ]
