A call in the dark
[It won't be long before the Marsiva leaves the system. Not once has the fleet's Host Ship gone near the green, mysterious planet, choosing instead to keep it only at the far edges of her reach. All the while, the party deck has remained open and welcoming, tempting passengers to stay and try their luck for last-minute prizes.
And just when it seems like the fleet may leave the Lagan system without incident- a sudden rush of energy flares out across the green planet's surface and beyond, rippling far past its atmosphere until it reaches every ship in the fleet. The energy buffets the hulls and scrambles the instruments for one or two very dramatic minutes - just as it had before, but much more powerful in its reach. The wave is still invisible, save for a confusing warp in the way light describes shapes, but those who are sensitive to various energies--psionic, magical, life-force, or otherwise--will be able to feel an overwhelming force comb through their entire being, before the phenomenon passes over and ends.
However, unlike last time, this wave of energy is not silent. Across both the speakers of every communication device and console, and in the minds of anyone sensitive to the energy, comes the message:]
Yei equoa seh ouat ti unduo ti akun. Yiat deht quoi yiat seh kiskhan. Yiaht seh yesui ti yiat seh enduan, tal yei vissai atuav yei ti esat yiat lehir hanui. Esat yiat lehir evess. Esat yiat lehir illua tal giskat deht. Wes sahat lehir enila yei, wes yei vissai seh nan sahat ista, sahat yayet quoi adaht woru vitsahn. Hanui gisketi ideht yesui ti tokia gisketi ideht uaru, tal adrifa deseht adtah.
[Those who had been investigating the wreckage's systems may notice that this message is the very same as the one coded in the distress signal. Perhaps the Virsua was trying once last time to communicate.]
[OOC: Feel free to use this post as a mingle--either for broadcasts over the network or in-person interactions. The Marsiva is still within range of the planet for another day or two, so any in-person threads can be on the planet's surface, aboard various ships or stations, or in the Marsiva's party room.
For those who had learned a translated word before, now is a great chance to put that knowledge to use!
While the mods continue to sort out the upcoming happenings with the Drift Fleet, we thought a final themed mingle would be fun to play with in the meantime. Enjoy!]

For a moment she keeps her head in her hand, fingers trying to massage away the pain though to little effect. ]
Maybe. [ Her free hand waves about dismissively. ] Later.

[He gives her an exhausted smile at admitting it, something more fragile than he's ever offered. He's letting her see that bit of weakness; the lines around his eyes, the stoop in his broad shoulders. It may be a calculated reveal to convince her, but that doesn't make it any less real.]
We can't take care of everyone else if we don't at least attempt to marginally take care of ourselves.
[What a hypocrite.]

Frankly dearest Wolfe, I don't feel quite up to moving right now.
[ She knows the gravity of his admittance, knows it far too well. Move is a smart one definitely, even though it has very little effect. ]
I'm sitting down! That's taking care of myself... mostly. [ Sitting down in the Space Bar, but at least she is sitting. ] When everything stops swaying then I might find somewhere to lay down.

[He sighs, wishing he was there just to drag her to bed instead. It's a lot easier that way, given that she's even worse at taking care of herself than he is. And that's saying something.]
What do you think of all this? If you're not going to go to bed you might as well help.
[So much for bed. As much as he wants to, this passage isn't going to translate itself.]
