Who: Ordis and YOU
Broadcast: fleetwide text
Action: probably not!
When: now!

Inquiry:

is every person stationed in this fleet of orokin human descent? Logic would dictate that such would be highly improbable, what with how many beings are apparently about.

Additionally, unrelated, do there exist records of previous crews of any ship?

No.

[cephalon]

Very informative.

However Ordis would request clarification on this stunning answer.

[firstrebel]

No I'm not human.

Who or what is Ordis?

[cephalon]

Ordis's name is Ordis, he is not a 'what'. Though admittedly he is pleased to hear of others of non-human lineage.

[firstrebel]

Are you Ordis, or are you speaking for him?

[preformthisneigh]

Unless I suddenly changed species overnight that would be a negatory on that one.

[cephalon]

Excellent, Ordis is pleased to learn of such. Additionlly, what would you clarify yourself as?

[preformthisneigh]

Me? I'm a pony. Specifically an earth pony. Buuuut not a pony from Earth. Not named after the planet.

[cephalon]

....Ordis will confess that the term 'pony' is unknown to him. Earth, yes. But 'pony', no. Unless one is referring to old earth animals?

If not from Earth, perish the thought with the grineer and their -nasty filthy - hands all over the planet, which colony do you hail from?

[preformthisneigh]

We're something completely different. Well...okay I guess we look a little like ponies from Earth, but that's not the planet we're from.

It's just called the world, but the country I'm from is called Equestria.

[Not commenting in the nasty hands nope.]

[interstices]

I think that most people are, from what I've been able to tell.

[cephalon]

Oh? An interesting development. And how did you come across this information?

[interstices]

I looked around.

[cephalon]

How delightfully informative.

[interstices]

I try.

[complicatedliar]

No. What a hideous thought. Though the humans do seem to overrun every place they go.

Not that I've found.

[cephalon]

Orokin do seem to find a way to survive in many strange, if not inhospitable, areas. An evolutionary advantage, Ordis thinks.

And that is sad news to hear, that there are no records kept.

[complicatedliar]

Cockroaches and rats do as well, through sheer force of numbers.

Unsurprising, however.

[cephalon]

While I would number Orokin as a particularly nasty sort, I would not choose to place them amongst common pests. Their technology is fascinating, after all.

[complicatedliar]

I've yet to see anything of them that's left me impressed. But perhaps you come from far enough in the future of the species that they've finally caught up.

[reconstitution]

A lot of them are, but not everyone.

[ ... ] As for the previous crew rosters, I'm not sure. There has been lots of turnover.

[cephalon]

Excellent. That is heartening to hear, on both accounts. Do you know of any particular place that perhaps these codices, if they exist, may be located? It is difficult to navigate when one is not part of the system itself.

[reconstitution]

The network may be able to provide you with some sort of list. Are you looking for someone specific?

[cephalon]

No specific persons, no. Merely a wonder as to what does happen around here, and if it seems as though there are trends to being 'sent home', as Ordis has seen mentioned.

[reconstitution]

As far as I can tell, there's not a pattern as to who leaves or arrives. If you discover otherwise, let me know.
