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?

Comments

[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.

[cephalon]

The ability to traverse the Void has been remarkable to see, as well as many of the codicies and arcane machines left behind. As for the Orokin themselves however...Ordis is not a fan.

[complicatedliar]

Oho, they might finally be catching up a bit. How lovely for them.

You can already guess at my low opinion.

[cephalon]

Orokin era artifacts are indeed things of wonder. Much was lost when they were eliminated.

[complicatedliar]

Things of wonder for you, perhaps. I would have to witness and not find them wanting to be convinced.

[cephalon]

Orokin codices have held a particular strain of interest. They were builders. Scientists. Assholes

[complicatedliar]

How very human.
