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?

Well, no, it's presumably tied in to my brain stem and all other kinds of fun functions. On the other hand... fuck this, I don't want it.

[stayinthecar]

...maybe your ship will have a medical professional. But I really don't think you should look into removing it.

[interspace]

Really? Really, we've got something attached to who knows what in our heads and you think it should stay?

[stayinthecar]

No, but mine is so thoroughly integrated that it's beyond my capabilities to remove. Also, they provide us with necessary information about our environment. How to operate the ships, specifically. Not only would removal be risking permanent damage to your nervous system, but could lead to disaster in other ways.

[interspace]

So you've automatically discounted the idea that there could be sleeper programs in here waiting to do who knows what while hiding out as a useful little space-cyclopedia?

[stayinthecar]

[ Zee's eyes go wide. ]

Sleeper programs?

[ With his capabilities that could be disastrous. And it didn't occur to him, because he scanned himself so thoroughly. But that's the point of a sleeper program isn't it, that it's hidden? Holy crap Misha you just scared the circuits out of him. ]

[interspace]

[ GOOD. Someone else can be terrified with her! She doesn't want to be mind controlled again, jesus. ]

Uh, yeah? I'm not going to trust anything that's directly fucking with my brain.

[stayinthecar]

[ Sorry he's just going to process and be terrified for a moment.

If his programming is altered he could kill everyone. EVERYONE. ]

[interspace]

[ She waits. It is not a good feeling and she knows. ]

[stayinthecar]

That possibility is extremely concerning.

[interspace]

Yep. Thus why I'd much rather see if it's possible to get these things out sooner rather than later.

[stayinthecar]

I will help you find someone willing to look into it.

[interspace]

Appreciate it. Misha, by the way. We should probably actually know names before we get into blood-pact territory here.

[stayinthecar]

My name is Zee. I promise I won't start bleeding.

[interspace]

Uh, yeah, it's just a saying. Tradition. Stupid thing. Never mind.

[stayinthecar]

Oh.

I'm still not going to bleed.

[interspace]

Okay? You don't have to bleed if you don't want to.

... and don't piss anyone off, I guess.

[stayinthecar]

...I'll do my best. You mean make people angry?

[interspace]

Yeah, that's what it means. Bit of a formal speaker?

[stayinthecar]

Yes. I'm still learning slang.

[interspace]

[ That's... adorable and she's smiling before she realizes it. ]

That is an undertaking that could take you a lifetime. But hey, not gonna say it's not worth it, either.

[stayinthecar]

It might, especially here. Everyone uses different terms from their worlds.

[interspace]

Man, that's true. Once you learn one, though, it's easy to get context of the others.

[stayinthecar]

Do you think so? I think I get more context from a person's tone and subject, not other slang terms.

[interspace]

Well, I just mean in the sense of learning different words for the same thing.
