Right, I don't expect anyone to remember this - or remember anything about this because I have written to myself several times 'No one remembers!' and I have underlined this twice, so clearly this has happened for several days. No one will remember this either, but I will put this here for myself, and my journal notes.

There is something different with the tubes. When I open the Marvisa up, there is something different with the tubes. Some are a blue-green in color, and others are now ... black. They were not black last year, and now, I have no idea why they are.

[He exhaled, rubbing his bearded face.] I have no idea how we are getting answers from this, and I know I am writing this all down again.

As long as it is not on paper that you procured from this ship, or a writing tool and ink that you have also procured from this ship. Otherwise it will just disappear.

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Well, shit. I don't have anything, in that case.

That's pretty disturbing, though. I mean, if you can get more disturbing than forgetting in the first place.

[tallasaking]

Ask amongst your crew. Some might have paper they have purchased on another planet.

This entire place thrives on disturbing.

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Yeah, I'm really starting to get that.

[About the disturbing.]

Kinda too new to have a crew, so I guess that doesn't do you much good. I might have a few people I can ask, though.

You sure the, uh, alien paper will do it? Not that we have much other choice, it sounds like.

I have had no problems with the paper I have bought off of this ship. The Atroma control many things - but they do not seem to command off-world suppliers, thank the Seven.

I tried writing it in blood once. Not ... nearly as successful as I hoped.

[Bucky makes a face, but - well. It's not a terrible idea.] Too bad, [he says, on an exhale.]

Maybe at the very least, I'll remember to buy paper next time I get off.

[Not that that solves the problem now.] I'll still ask around. Got a friend who's an artist. He might have something.

[tallasaking]

That might work quite well - sketches also remain. I've drawn many diagrams for myself and those also have stayed in my journals ... if I have not been unwise enough to use a pen from one of the Atroma's ships.

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Good point, [Bucky agrees. If they're gonna write something down... don't make a stupid mistake about it.]

Guess there had to be a reason people hadn't escaped yet, [he says, with a sigh.] This would explain it.

[If you can't remember what you've learned, how are you ever going to get out.]
