WHO Misha Hunt
BROADCAST Fleet-wide video!
ACTION Marsiva hospitality deck
WHEN May 20th because I'm a loser

[ The comm is set down on a table, facing down to give a wide angle of a young redheaded woman who is basically standing inside of a couch. Phasing! She looks to the camera, brows raised very pointedly!! And then walks forward to one of the walls leading further into the Marsiva and pushes.

Nada.

She looks back to the camera. Walks back to the couch, does a slow turn around while standing inside of it, then goes back and pushes on the wall again. After a moment, she steps back, uses both hands to point at the stubborn wall. ]

Is anyone else seeing this shit?

[This has something very relative to Fenris' interests. What he commonly sneers at as filthy magic is different. Even in his time in Exsillium, he has yet to meet anyone who can phase through solid objects as well. ]

How are you doing that?

[His tone is more...demanding than pleasant. Oops.]

video forever;

[interspace]

[ She comes over to pick up the comm when someone replies, head tilting at the guy on the other end. ]

"That" being the phasing? It's my power.

[wolfuncaged]

Yes. How do you accomplish it? Is it magic?

[interspace]

Definitely not magic. [ That at least gives her a starting point of how to explain. Magic usually means a complete lack of understanding to genetics. ] You know how some people have, I don't know, double-joints or something? Just the way they are? It's like that with me, just something inside me that lets me do it.

[wolfuncaged]

...So it just happened to you? You were not altered in any way?

[He frowns.] It sounds like magic. People are born with that, too.

[stayinthecar]

There are several anomalies within the ship walls, any number of them could be preventing you from using your ability.

[interspace]

Uh-oh. What kind of anomalies are we talking about here? Because—that still shouldn't happen.

[stayinthecar]

Technology that our augments didn't account for. A few of us opened up the walls and tried to determine what the extra parts were for, but could not determine anything.

[interspace]

[ She bites her lip momentarily, takes a breath. ]

What extra parts? Back up, explain. Okay?

[stayinthecar]

When we arrived, us engineers were given knowledge of how the ships worked so we could repair and build on to them. We thought it was all-encompassing, but when we opened up the walls there were parts there unknown to us. I can't explain much since we don't know what they do, but something in them might be preventing your ability to pass through solid matter.

And it might be for the best, so you don't accidentally wind up in outerspace.

[poetontheinside]

Uh, yeah, I'm fucking seeing this shit, you're standing in the couch. [First things first]

[interspace]

[ Whoops. She covers the quick reaction of embarrassment with an eyeroll. ]

Yes, in the couch and not in the wall. One of these things is not like the other.

[poetontheinside]

So it bothers you that you can't just walk through everything, right the fuck into space? You need to get your priorities in order, lady.

[interspace]

Notice that I'm not walking toward the outer wall. Is it so wrong to want to see what else is in this ship?

[poetontheinside]

Most of us regular dipshits just use doors.

Action

[thezerothlaw]

[Well, this is peculiar. Daneel tilts his head, not quite sure how to take this sight, and in fact goes over to touch the couch gently to ensure that it is, in fact, a real couch and not a holographic image. Nope, that's real.]

How is it that you are doing this?

action;

[interspace]

[ She grins at him testing the couch and steps outside of it for his peace of mind. ]

It's my superpower. Never seen one before?

Re: action;

[thezerothlaw]

I have not.

[Is... she solid? It's rude to poke her.]

And yet you are unable to interact in this way with the wall.

action;

[interspace]

Oh, well, congratulations. You've met your first superhero.

[ It would be rude, and yet she's not going to be surprised if he does. Weirder shit's happened. ]

That's the thing, yeah. It's... way more than just solid. Something is up here.

Re: action;

[thezerothlaw]

I'm not familiar with the term "superhero." It does sound like a positive thing.

[He looks up at the wall, frowning thoughtfully.]

We are not meant to leave this place, evidently. Have you encountered something like this before?

video

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I think I should ask, to keep the confusion at a minimum--

[hello Misha, have a good-looking guy giving you a little wave over the video feed.]

You're annoyed with the wall and not the couch?

video

[interspace]

[ Oh, she's okay with that. She'll even come over to sit down at the table where she's set the comm. ]

Yeah. The wall. The couch is fine, as far as waiting room couches go.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Then you're used to phasing through matter, from what it looks like.

[this is interesting! he looks thoughtful, for a moment...]

The wall could be reinforced against whatever you do to keep you from foolishly stepping out into the vacuum of space... But it's more likely to keep something top-secret out of your fascinating little hands.

[interspace]

Flattery already? You move fast.

[ She isn't against it, but it isn't the best technique to get on her good side, either. She considers, then shakes her head. ]

That's not an outer wall, though. Whatever they did to reinforce it, it's nothing I've ever seen before. And, I mean, we're space on a TV show or whatever, but this is pretty high up there.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Do I? [he laughs, just a little.] Sorry, it's a habit. I'll cool it.

[he didn't think he was being all that flattering--but he's used to people with a pretty high bar. and he doesn't want to make it weird, like, thirty seconds in.]

Yeah, "never-before-seen oddities" are kind of a staple around here. Have you found your augment yet?
