[Video] Sam, Stop Being High Maintenance

Who: Nami and anyone
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Bloodsport
When: 24th Feb

[Well, it's been two days. Pretty sure she can rule out roofies by this point, and other potential illnesses given nothing changes. Pulse is still fine, breathing's regular, all that jazz. That leaves one likely possibility she can think of, given they've already proven Fleet passengers can be turned on and off at will.

Which irritates her. But who knows. Maybe the space orgy was just too much for their delicate viewers. HAH.]

Hey, so question. I know the augments are known to malfunction sometimes. What kind of malfunctions are we talking about? Have they ever... dropped anyone into a coma without warning?

...is there any way of countering it, if so?

[She bets this question has probably been asked a million times, but she can't find anything recent. Save her some reading material, guys.]

Yeah, that's all I'd heard of, too.

[Comas weren't on the list, though, so...] Ah-- yeah. He just... fell. And now it's like he's sleeping and won't wake up. Nothing else has changed.

Hm. [That doesn't sound good.] That's definitely augment-related.

Do you want me to take a look? Or do you already have a lab tech where you are?

There's a lab tech on his ship, yeah, though I haven't met him. I assume he's taken a look. My friend's on the Red Fish and I'm on the Bloodsport.

[She smiles a little.] So I guess it'd probably be rude to invite you onto someone else's ship. But I appreciate the offer.

Don't worry about it. Not every ship has a med bay, so I figured I'd ask. [Just in case.]

I wish I could help more, but we haven't had many of those. Unless you count the fact that one of my crew went missing for like a solid month.

Missing? [That reminds her of what Rogue said. She wonders if it's the same person.] What happened when they returned?

That's the weirdest part. Nothing - it was like he'd never left.

[Stefan gets chills just thinking about it.]

It sounds like he doesn't know what happened either.

Is this the same guy that was on the network this week? Do you know if he knows someone called Rogue?

Maybe? I don't exactly keep track of Loki's friends, but it's not implausible. Unless more than one person's gone missing in the past month.

[...actually. Come to think of it, North probably also counts. Which is interesting, but not really correlated to what happened to Sam. She'll ask Rogue herself.]

I can think of another person. They came back not missing any time either. That's kind of weird.

Really. [Now that's news to Stefan, and not remotely the good kind.] They didn't re-appear on the Marsiva or anything?

No, they did. It's like they got swept from the fleet and the Atroma changed their mind at the last minute. A month went by for us, and I don't think they lost any time at all. Just turned up on the Marsiva again.

Mm, Loki was different. He re-appeared on the Paisley, like he'd come back from vacation or something.

[softly, more to himself than to Nami:] I wonder what makes you re-appear on the Marsiva versus your old ship.

Disconcerting either way. Though I think Loki might have been on the Marsiva for the time he was missing. I wonder if it was supposedly more "maintenance", like they hauled all of us back for a few months ago.

It's entirely possible. I hadn't considered it, but then again... I don't think he was here for those "calibrations."

Interesting. Same kind of length of time, too.

I'll see if I can look into it. [a slight frown] I'm Stefan, by the way.

I'm not sure how much I'll find, but I don't want to say they're unrelated events either.

Nami.

[She smiles, finally.] And good luck. There's people who've been here more than a year, they probably have stories of this kind of thing, too.

Thanks, Nami. I'll check in once I've finished poking around.

[hesitantly,] I think your friend'll be okay, but I'm sorry it happened in the first place.

Thanks. [The general consensus seems to be that he will wake up, so she can appreciate the sentiment for what it is.]

I guess I'll just play the waiting game until then.
