[things are maybe starting to get a little weird around the fleet... and this sudden message broadcast over the network is no exception.]

something is going on with the augments. crackling noise? potential malfunction not sure what's being effected right now but it's really annoying unknown if harmful but causing problems with behaviora

[the text just stops there. the video turns on!]

Ugh.

[there's a really scary-looking guy in a full face of skull makeup looking down at the controls--oh, wait, no. he's gone. the video turns off. the voice clicks on.]

...Ugh.

[the voice clicks off. the text resumes.]

compulsions may be becoming a problem. pretend that didn't happen. or not. i don't know.

better. reached an understanding.

[proteusmoon]

But still not so good?

[ She frowns a little and sighs, then nods. ]

Well, I'm glad to hear it has gotten better. Hopefully it will continue to.

...I suppose it's best I'm not part of your crew anymore. If I reminded you enough of your master to affect you, I can imagine it would have only made things worse with him.

no, it's much better. he's not a ghost anymore.

but things are still complex. hard to quantify. couldn't say for sure.

Oh. Well, good, then.

It probably just needs more time.

[ She gives him a reassuring smile. ]

Well, I suppose I'll see you around sometime. Good luck with the compulsions. I'm sure it's only temporary, but I know it's disturbing and worrying. If you need any help with anything, let me know.

[theboogieman]

I will.

[the conversation already went much better than he would have thought, so...]

And think about my invitation. I'll be waiting for an answer.

[ One last smile and she's gone. ]
