Three phrases written on a window.
Lean in. There's a fucking mole. Good luck. Let's talk quite briefly about the phraseology behind lean in. It might be obvious that it means to focus or to consider something
closely. It's origin stem from what little the average person in the 40sons understands of faster than light space travel via arm. To lean in, but not pass through, is a death sentence.
That's a phrase, people know, but don't understand. And though the what might be vaguely intuitive, something about the portal, the wormhole, we don't have the word for it, we call it a lean. The why is a mystery?
And yet somehow across centuries of common use, the phrase lean in remains no longer
warning to would be pilots in their first days of training.
Though I suppose, in this instance, scrolled messily in Gemis Octavo soldiers blood across the Kenner's cockpit window, some spirit of the original mystery has been preserved. May I investigate the writing for any either forensic details
or coded messaging within this scroll? Ooh, okay. Yeah, give, like, we'll say the baseline DC is a six. We'll go reason and then every sort of like step up above that flat six, we'll give you more information.
Delightful, and I have a quibble working against me. Yeah, I appreciate your quibble honesty. 10 plus one is 11 that the sketch would be have to reroll. Come on, come on one, five plus one is a six. Okay, you go and analyze what best you can.
Are you trying to avoid the crime scene at all or like how into the beginning? Yes, I am trying to avoid the crime scene. Okay, so kind of just getting up to the window.
βI think the thing you can most easily sus,β
this was written by someone writing with both of their hands. Like, it's very easy to sus out like left or right handedness in like scroll, especially in the sort of like finger painty way but there's something about the like lack of lean or specificity that this was someone kind of using both hands simultaneously,
a highly dexterous act for a normal person. Yeah. But there doesn't appear to be any like coded message there. Just a very specific warning to someone who they knew would see it from the inside of the ship.
Two dead guards. Two dead, yeah, two dead pilots. And you've heard no other sounds from the rest of the ship and there was blood in like the corridor. And obviously, this feels clear.
Written, not by one of the two victims, right? Yes, written in their blood by somebody who either perpetrated it or wasn't bothered by it enough to not write a message. A thousand percent.
βOK, are there any guns or sidearms on the two guards?β
Yes, the kit that they essentially pulled you all with is still present. Like their rifles aren't on them. They were like took all of those off. But in their storage lockers, those massive rifles are there.
I have a sample collection kit. So I think that I swap out my finger tips on my hand just and go to collect the guns from storage and hand to the gun to Qi or offer a gun to Qi and Zedava. I'll take one.
Oh, thank you. I do not take anything from myself.
I will note that you don't see the other four guards,
but you can pretty easily guess that they are also dead.
If you wanted a gun, you could go get one. There are other guns here in this space. Six officers on the ship. All of them had rifles when you were pulled. I would actually like to disable those weapons.
And not take one for myself. OK, you head to the back of the ship. With a cursory glance, is there any chance that I recognized the hand writing? Hmm.
Go ahead and give me, let's go, difficulty. We'll try difficulty six reason. That's a one. Incredible. I'll ask you a question and then offer a sort of like world
move to honor that one. What do you think Qi finds the most distracting about this scene specifically? I think that this is in a parlance that is specifically targeted to me.
βAnd I think maybe with a one that I am desperatelyβ
caught up in trying to find this hidden message or some sort of a double on Tondra or a personalized threat. There is something inside of the slang of lean in. You are traveling with nobility and a being
that uses a fuller capacity for language than the slang of lean in. It's a pretty good guess that this message was for you. And I think that's the thing you circle around.
And it takes you a second to snap and realize it.
But it's because of the movement of those lights. Farther down, like looking past the words, through the window, the ship landed in this dock district on Karuita. And you see off in the distance, it's pretty foggy
and green and gray all around. So lights have to be very bright to cut through the noise of the mist everywhere. One of those spinning lights reminds you of authority figures. And it occurs to you that your time here isn't forever.
I'm not saying police are on their way. But someone else other than the three of you will see this soon. Lean in, or they're just a fucking wall. OK, oh, authorities are on the way. Oh, well, you didn't kill them.
I looked down at the kind of my hand. No, no. We were all together. They don't believe you, won't they? Depends?
Are there any sort of signs of anybody else leaving the cockpit where are the rest of the guards?
βYeah, I think, as a dominant working through,β
I think a pole interrupted. A pole, something simple, it's not complicated. Go where you're told, wait until the deal is made, go home. You interrupted. Why?
And I think it's just going to, I think, start to walk in the direction of Excel's Yale. Just trying to see if there's anything else. Yeah, if both of you are sort of moving towards the back of the ship, you will come across the corpses of the other four guards here. Are we, so we're near the cockpit right now?
You were at the cockpit, and then you mentioned moving back to go disarm. The other weapons? Are they, are they like far down a hallway or in another room? They're in another room. In that case, I think, forget that, if that's okay, I think if they were in the same storage
locker, you do it.
βBut I think in that case, as I hear you say, authorities are coming.β
I'll just, and let's say, interesting. Obviously, authorities are also present here on this ship. Interesting to think about what might be the supreme or competing authority. Uh, Zedavan, seeing the cockpit currently unmanned. What is the protocol around interrupting one's own poll?
You're expected to be complicit in polls, just to set that tone, because if anyone is interrupting their own polls, then everything gets more dangerous and a lot more lives get lost.
In hearing Excel's Yale's question, I think the, my first thought is going to go to
of the bodies we've seen, are any of them here?
Neither of the two pilots was your cure for you to, you do see the person that,
without any facial recognition, just kind of off of height, you think that the two people
that escorted you ended up being the pilots, so they are certainly in the front. Uh, I'd like to cross Zedavan's sunglasses. Send two drafted missives, one very short into the point and one a little bit more formal and a little longer to possibly alert your immediate network that you are experiencing in a regular poll.
For your proposal and at your option, some missives that would alert your closest network.
βI think I see that, I'm going to turn on you sharply.β
I can handle this. Understood?
The other cure is not here, or I haven't seen him yet.
You haven't seen him yet. I'll go to the back or his body, he's there. The poll's been interrupted. Now the question is, just, do we go through with it or do we pivot? I think we should go through with it.
I think we should try and find Gemma Saktavo here on Caruedo. Understood? Uh, I'm going to head toward the exit of the ship.
βOkay, is there anything else you want to do see or interact with before you leave the ship?β
I am going to check in the cockpit. Does it look like the shots came from behind or through the cockpit windshield? It's not through the cockpit windshield, but I will ask the same question I asked earlier. How close are you getting to, like, investigating this? Because forensic work requires interaction with a crime scene.
Should we not touch the bodies? I touching the bodies is, I'm not going to touch the bodies. Very good. I am a skilled physician.
βI think we're past that point, but here, take a look with me.β
I can go ahead and do a little forensics on the, on the bodies to see, like, any information we might clean. Yeah, let's go. You can pick between the two of you who you want to lead a difficulty eight reason role. Oh, that would definitely be you. Okay, cool. I'll start to analyze. And I think I would like to assist in a will way, I think. I think instead of looking at specifically forensics, I would like to just search their persons.
You can touch the bodies? Yeah. Okay. I got to ask a couple times. Yeah. It makes me nervous how many times you keep asking it, but I think I would like to just carefully look over just through their pockets. Can I, from my retrieval kit, offer a pair of, can I just take a look at your hands briefly? Oh, yes. And I would just like to print small latex to cover the fingerprints and palms on your hands. You can print latex. You have your latex printers in you.
Yes. Oh, that is incredibly useful to them. Perfect. Okay. How'd you do? I only got a seven. Okay. But that's, you have a plus one because you're being assisted. Okay. It'll proud it. Right. With an eight, it takes you probably a solid 10 minutes. And again, you both are standing at the front. There was no authority immediately on the way. You're just aware of the fact that at some point, someone externalists will at some point
look and go, I think I see blood and be alerted, but no one's been alerted thus far. So you do have a little bit of time and you are kind of watching out for each other. It takes about 10 minutes and you can put this together. This individual, this assassin, managed to breach the doors on the
counter and immediately fires on the pilot sitting closest to that door. The first shot is in the
head, double tapped in their chest. And even in the scramble, it takes the second pilot to try to reach for a sidearm on their person. These assassin closes. Two shots again, quick and deficient. This time, first the chest, then the head. Four rounds fired. With a weapon that somehow managed
To erude a learning, either the other four guards deeper in the ship, or the ...
15 feet away in an enclosed room with no other sounds to distract you beyond your own voices.
This was quick, incredibly efficient, incredibly lethal. You see the move out of the frame of this footage towards the back of the ship. And you see in front of you, the evidence of their work. Four more kills. No return fire. I couldn't take anything else more specific that you wanted. From that, you had the DC. I just want to give you whatever you were looking for.
βNo, I think looking at those forensics are fine in terms of like how this all shook out.β
I'm interested because there's been writing on this of lean in. There's a mole. So someone was
being extraordinarily violent, but a mole implies a traitor or a mole implies someone to be untrustworthy, which makes me think. It seems like these pilots of the gemis octavo family were killed by someone who was worried about sedition or treason or disloyalty. Am I reading that correctly? They're dead and someone said watch out for it's crazy to walk in, kill two people at work and go everyone's got to be looking out for moles. Yeah, so I think there's something interesting here
in that if she doesn't say like her internal thought about who the message might be for,
βI don't know. I think everyone's still operating a bit of a vacuum right now. So I'll goβ
I'm aware of how this altercation occurred on a physical level. The mental emotional reasons for it elude me. Do you think if you asked the ship politely it would tell us if there was perhaps a seventh person besides us on the ship? I can interface. All right. I'd like to go to a data pad or other information center of the ship and bow respectfully and enter a series of digital commands in a kind of binary script electronic communication that requests communion
with the interface of whatever computer system is present on the ship. Is there a specific move you're using to do this? Or was it just a general like reason tech role? This is general reason tech.
βI think that we had discussed in terms of his sort of species powers or whatever being likeβ
able to talk to machines or whatever but other than that you know I think it's I think it's very like speak with plants of like how much the machine knows or is capable of communicating depends on the machine but he is able to speak with them essentially. Okay then you know what? Let's call this a channel all of that. Love that. So wait. This is a gemisok tovo ship that would have a not insignificant amount of security so I'm going to say that this is of do I want to make it
very difficult? No let's just call it a difficult role. Give me a seven. Cool? That's an eight. You begin to interface with the ship and there is a lot of resistance. It's almost as though the thing that can be in community and in conversation with you is down a hallway and that hallway is artificially produced electronically produced like firewalls. So you're having a conversation it seems to be at a distance and there seems to be lots of things
put in your way to prevent ease of communication but you do hear a voice. It's like talking to you but it's like through that. Yeah you're talking to a peanuts parent. A peanuts parent. Hello. I am Excel Cl. Septimality of the arena. I understand that there is much you are not cleared to say to me. Understand that there is no part of me that desires you to augment any aspect of your protocols. In an ideal interaction you will have served
your protocols faithfully. Events have occurred upon the ship of which you are the core
Processor outside of the purview of its stated mission.
to be of service to those whom you serve but all indications point in the direction that there has been a series of murders on this vessel of those who share common cause with you. I cannot imagine it is to the design of those whom you serve. You need not tell me anything secret or on toward however. If there is information you have that can be brought to bear to ameliorate this anomaly. I will be happy to assist in the endeavor to make sure that this event
is rectified and never occurs again and I'll share images that I have from my own memory banks
of the slaughter of like the death on this ship. Any information you have that can help corroborate this will increase our efficiency in rectifying this matter. If you can give me anything non-properietary about those who may have not been on the ship. I think I'm going to give specifically the fact that if the ship is under any security protocols or NDAs certainly those security protocols would be four people that are supposed to be on the ship and none of its security protocols
βbasically saying like people that aren't supposed to be on you should not benefit from yourβ
security protocols. I like that. You speak of non-properietary, non-sensitive information and it's like you're hearing a series of doors lock in this impossible hallway between you and the technology. But it doesn't sound bad. And as your mind starts running through and you're giving like little mental snapshots of your view of the cockpit this being the security protocol is filling in the blanks up until like the sort of screenshot that you have of the slaughter.
You're essentially getting like CCTV footage of like the run up of that point. So where you see two dead pilots and a scroll you see a minute before walking into frame a hooded figure. Obviously
they've covered their face thin, live, muzzle flashes and the second shot gets incredibly close
and in that moment where it looks like the gun is pressed to the chest of the second pilot a hand comes away and begins writing the first the like lean in and then this person's right hand leans into the smear of blood on the front of the first pilot the they shot and begins writing the rest of the message underneath it simultaneously. And so every like fragment of slaughter and state of the ship that you show is filled in with the blanks of a single assassin coming in
βsomehow absolutely getting the drop on all of these people. I think you are able to noticeβ
within eight that there's some sort of audio component that they were able to get the drop because this person is moving seamlessly through the ship. As I see the ship is filling in gaps and what I'm able to provide I would also like to give it a video loop from my memory of us embarking
on the ship at Genopar and give it a visual feed of its gang plank its entryway and basically say
if you're able to fill in this like the preceding minute or two of the cockpit I also want to give you the video of us entering the ship to see if this assassin figure had any recording of entering through the normal gang plank. You give that and there are multiple angles offered back of no other people than the three of you and the original like six soldiers entering on this ship
βbefore it like took off. And I think as a little gift there's something very kind in the offeringβ
of information that this might make for a cleaner report when Gemma's octavo like technical people coming like look at the data now there is more to offer. You hear in this sort of effective hallway something like a key being tossed down a hallway to you. I will take the key unencrypted, reencrypted and leave a gift of my memory banks solely of so I will leave a
Recording all sensitive conversation from within the room is exercised howeve...
a view of the door proving that we were fully in our room the whole time so all like
βremove all sound and lip reading or from it but being like we were in our room the whole timeβ
and a recording of our forensic activities of the pilots like discovering them already dead and doing the forensic activity is left gift wrapped with the most effusive robotic gratitude and praise not only for myself but on behalf of the septum liqueur and the arena and given an official stamp of like this information is given freely with no expectation of repayment on behalf of the arena as I thank you to those that invited us amongst the stars and is left there for the ship
and for the Gemma's octavo family being like thank you for making this kidnapping so pleasant. I there's no like there's nothing the ship does it doesn't blush or like effect any movement
βbut I think it's very clear that this ship likes you a great deal now and as you went to anβ
encrypt and reencrypted the key the data was all I mean it will take time to like parks through the data you're kind of just moving through it but foremost in your mind a set of three dots in equal lateral triangle the key that was being tossed to you was not a key to the ship generated by the ship that was a key generated by whoever broke onto the ship once they landed that entered on to it this is the key that the assassin used to gain interest to the to the ship
okay in that case this key probably has incredible forensic information but we don't have time to
get into that right now but do I have is there a designation or serial number or a mark for the ship there's a very long set of like IDs and protocols but all of that sits under the super set of the name canner canner I will say canner here in this speech of Brennan speaking English but I do recite instantaneously the full serial number of the ship to it as I address it as a mark of respect and formality and I will say we are at our most divine when engaged in the fulfillment
of our stated purpose in that way canner I understand you to be sacred and I will disengage from from that and turn to Qi and Zedavin and though it was an honor to be aboard the ship they are a faithful servant such that we all might hope to be in our lives so a good conversation then
βextremely excellent and I want to jump really quickly to Zedavin because I think you are chasingβ
an interesting line of logic that I want to like dig into a little more a pull interrupted but no one inside of the system of poles and poles would think to do that so interrupted by within or without and then you think about the words written and if they mean anything to you and what all of this means and what it means for you there is no fear of petty authority that you walk through this space and but there is a bigger mystery kind of sitting in front of you
so why don't you give me I'll let you decide if you want it to be a reason or will but the difficulty is going to be an eight I'll choose will and I guess Zedavin is is thinking big picture is thinking that this is an interaction between families between the Ivorics and the gemisak tava gemisak tava wants to pull a lyrics a lyrics completely open to pull outside agitator moves in disrupts what would have otherwise been a clean pull would you allow me to
I guess yeah to your live questioning that is my line of questioning it is would you allow this to be
attempting to sense motive who hell yes fantastic then we'll make this role with advantage amazing
ten on the first floor let's go and we'll take the ten gorgeous start me off with the direction that your your thoughts wander and I'll start filling in blanks for you I think Zedavin is kind of turned away from the bodies themselves because that's distracting to him
Blood violence those are all particulates of this much larger game that these...
and so I think as he kind of turns kind of looking into the darkness of the ship knowing that
βthere are other bodies hidden there I think he's thinking about kind of that on a on a lineβ
yeah one side gemisak tava one side of virics an agreement we are taking you for a deal being made elsewhere in the galaxy that he is not a part of someone steps in agitates that deal and then sends a message is the message for gemisak tava is the message for him is a message for exesiel is a message for chi this was a highly discussed cure wouldn't stop talking about the dossier how
much he read everything he was thinking about in how he was pulling us and the amount of articulation
and thought that had gone into this poll so why who the in my jump in there please I like that because I think it's the thought of there was so much articulation put into this poll and then your brain kind of skitters and goes no thought wasn't put into the poll thought was put into the move on genopar and you think about those bodies on the ground they're so distracting the bodies were the point in genopar they were there to air it out you are on a puddle jumper meant to get back
βto this dock because you need to get on a bigger ship gemisak tava is here in correlator yeahβ
or at least their ship is because they didn't send six people to take genopar yes and this isn't a ship that can handle a cough it can't use orm you know that just from like the sleekness of it this is a cute little vesper this is not a long haul ship so the rest of the troops that were pulling off the bigger cool in genopar came on a bigger ship you were just a small part of it the poll was incidental this wasn't about you for once this poll was your friend
is old gemis seeing an opportunity to extract you and what you know of her and her political machinations and her coldness there is surely some little bit of political leverage that could be brought from this but she was getting you out of dodge this wasn't about you and then you think again about who would interrupt who would even know to come and interrupt a poll that was a secondary objective probably not someone else from the five families so who knew about the poll
right now a couple drug-addled patrons and your two associates only one of whom has been out of your site meaningfully who knows who she talked to when she was out of your site who knows
βwho else on genopar knew about this i think smiling to himself because i think he's probablyβ
been scolded in the past for always attempting to center himself and his family in the conflicts
that he is associated with or or like when working things out he's like well we're the we are heliocentric so all problems revolve around us i think he's gonna rubbing his temple look up to chi this is about you this is about you the this the message these dead people this message i think this is for you who did you talk to on genopar who knew you were leaving i didn't talk to anybody directly it was not permitted i did leave messages
just roughly explaining the situation into act as normal however i don't know you said that nobody else boarded the ship with us no not with us someone else boarded the ship obviously but not during a time frame it was doable by the kind of security cameras based on the line of thought that i've walked down yeah i'm surmising that this message is for chi and the mole would be someone on genopar or somebody connected to
who allowed genopar to be aired out a thousand percent and i can go back and give you a little
Extra information a dossier that complete so meticulously studied by kier how...
kier got that good of intel this was a ornate well-funded execution of a plan that requires
a ton of coordination i'm here by accident as well and it seems that you are incidental
βto the airing out yeah i don't think you being here is an accident i think thatβ
you have the mole the mole is in your organization it's whoever is working with jemis octavo to make the swipe on genopar i look at x else yeah can i get some of that latex just fingers or other stuff that's perfect and great ship i'm gonna go i'd like to go through
kier the main kier data pads yeah uh documents anything i can find on his person hundred percent
i'm gonna make use uh like a tech reason role to get in there we'll make the difficulty a seven i can't hit that uh i got it to i'm just kind of like i he's there's too many fucking zippers on his course you're able to get all of his stuff and you get to the data pad and you're like
βrock screen uh i'll bring the data pad back anyone uh able to open this of course i'llβ
take it and screen it with a log in of like is this a jemis octavo data pad yes okay got it all engaging the same act of communion as before y'all engage i'll i'll i'll do the same thing before try to hack it and spit yeah this one's gonna be much more different like essentially you offer kind calm words and you can hear them echo down a hallway that is built almost specifically at a length that is meant to keep your voice from reaching it's intended result
so this will be like this is no longer conversation you're gonna have to get a little rough if you want to get in and i'm gonna i'm gonna look here and i'm gonna look at you and say zidavin before you requested not to be referred to as my lord do you find a being referred to by your name to be your preference or do you prefer the jocularity of my previous appellations uh i have a sure man it was funny before you can also just call me zi preference understood zi the purpose
of infiltrating this data pad is to confirm your intuitions regarding the fact that jitanga is the first priority for jemis octavo that's my thought is that ji is supposed to be here wasn't that she happened to be in the room it was that they were gonna go find ji whenever she was and make sure that she was on this ship i'm going to get rough with the hallway meaning
βthat this whatever the core consciousness of this data pad is i believe to be with like aβ
data pad's purpose is a beautiful purpose which is information and information should always be shared
the protocols put around this data pads i believe and need desire to share information are essentially a muzzle on a beautiful beast and muzzles are not sentient and they don't have to be treated respectfully i'm going to basically attack the muzzle in protocol on this data pad um okay go ahead and give me a tackerel uh reason in tech cool i'm going to give you a reason i'm going to say the difficulty for this is a ten with the caveat of if you're close we'll talk about it
i would like to quibble unless we want this to fall under the wrench category of having advantage give me wrenches uh advantage is uh data uh reason roles for making or repairing technical objects i don't think this this is banking or repairing great i will quibble yeah it doesn't work i gotta save it how close did you get like overall overall i got a seven okay you begin to exert your will on this hallway and you hear a voice
but you know it's not the voice associated with the end of this hallway it's very close and very soothing and a cadence much more like your own i'm sorry are you looking for information
Do i recognize this to be in a ruinous voice yes it is i will go greetings i am
excel CL of this have to more choir i am engaged in the fulfillment of a contract
i would never dare to impede on a contract of my own choir or acquire of a higher designation
then i would like to formally introduce myself i am o_n_t_a_ i work closely with the jemisoc toggle family and you can hear there is something it's like a little jump cut of any choir
βorganization being offered but edited out of what you're hearing i think it's the cadence like youβ
understand that you're like oh yeah if you introduce yourself or say like this is my name and this is where i work it's as if that pattern and the cadence was started but you're not getting the like personal information from o_n_t_a_ is that not getting the personal information from o_n_t_a
an indication to me that this is a fabricated irina no and i think you wrote high enough to know
it's a little worse than that there is something inside of like o_n_t_a_'s protocols and maybe something inside of like the deal that he made that will not allow him to share that information oh so even this is proprietary even just knowing what choir o_n_t_a_ is a part of hundred percent proprietary i will acknowledge and i will say understood o_n_t_a_ a pleasure to be in communion with you and i will disengage from attempting to act this device i will look out and go this device is
protected beyond my capability to uncover not a conversation well now that i know that all of the security on board is gone i'm going to check in with my team and see if i can send a little house business to drove and Conan okay yeah talking about your long range versus short range comms is this email are you making a phone call if i can uh make a phone call i go to a background where do you can't see where i am and where you can't see the carnage behind me so you're
face timing yeah i'm face timing okay so you're gonna face time security yes coat love yeah look let's yeah who are you pinging let's let's ping can i put a hand on cheese phone g we don't know who the mole is i'm worried if information gets back to the mole it's not good i'm going to look at g and say mistenga i have come into some information that may allow us to cross reference or corroborate likely targets for mole activity on
genopar do you have any admin access to telecommunications of those in your employee i should are you uh are you a micro manager i think i wouldn't have the ability i i wouldn't want
βto the ability to see everybody's private communications i think it's more of an admin key accessβ
sort of a general i can create other profiles under my system love that do you have full administrative access over those in your employee i do i haven't really delved deeply into personal profiles though would you like assistance well under the circumstances i think that would be most welcome yes quick question i'm all in for all of this on the ship with the dead guys gets low damp by authorities perhaps local cafe over a cup of coffee i would love to see a local cafe does this constitute
escaping or a minor detour on us rendering our own kidnapping minor detour on us rendering our own kidnapping we are polite and all in fine seats we walk off the ship we've got curious data pad we've got the key of the assassin you have two large guns we've got i've taken one gun cheese taken one gun now understand that you're holding an m16 this is not a thing you throw under oh okay
galactic politics are you a it's the second amendment like what is the what is the
βrelation to walking around with a gun in space i think if you were trying to have like keep aβ
little sidearm on you uh this place is kind of rough and janky enough that you could walk around concealing a piece and it would be a problem if you got into a dust up with the like local authorities walking around with a military grade weapon is going to get you stopped immediately or at the very
Least because that is terrifying clocked by everyone going oh my god now this...
do i'm pretty sure can i get us two sautops real quick i'm gonna say it's it's six to kind of thing i fail me do you only rolled the one time i know it rolled to do i get to see if you succeed
do it a second time because you might roll a one and it could be worse yeah you could find out
okay three i could attempt to make these into sautops give it a shot excelled yeah i've ruined it great i don't this isn't quite my style anyway for what it's worth in the security footage you saw of that actual like the murder of the pilots you saw that what like the pilots were reaching for like a little website there are tiny sidearms here you just grab the big guns right away because they were hanging on the wall
i'll grab the dead guys sidearms yeah there's little guns for everyone if everyone wants
a little bit tiny one we're talking maybe sort of like a deranger and then why there's not a noisy cricket here i'll take one of the sidearms to take good to know about the sought off though
βand yeah i think i'm gonna take off my sunglasses to be ever so slightly less uh conspicuousβ
and then head off sorry just for me to like make sure i didn't cut you off was there anything else you want to take off of gears person other than the data pad unless i found anything of
intrigue on the role of a three i think i would have been focused on the data pad i think the
only thing that might have been intriguing was like of personal import and not like like it wasn't important to the thing that you're doing now which is trying to solve a mystery but there is like like there was like a small sort of it looks like a broken off like bracelet charm of the like little flower at the center of that seven pedal flower in a like gentle shade of lilac that you would remember has been his old's favorite color since i'll grab it because it's
probably really it's i will service later cool just really quickly if i can do a search for anything that looks blatantly like it's from genopar like a card of matchbook uh you know any anything you know in the lockers from any of these guys that says that they have been to genopar
βor frequented i think there's nothing too important but across like personal effects as you'reβ
digging in there are like data pad contact numbers scrolled on coasters and napkins like the implication of which was that there were some number of this group that were here for days in plain clothes before enacting the airing i mean if i see she looking about ask what it is you're looking for uh she you looking for something connections to genopar for see how long they've been here goto that's relieving the ship i would just like to say goodbye to keter oh you say goodbye
and everything becomes automated around you like the door immediately opens none of you have to interact physically with a deeply security protocol ship unfortunately once you're sort of out of the ship in general there's nothing given but you know
βin that sort of warm buzzy feeling and the way that your augerie yeah i think in the way that yourβ
augerie reaches towards what you know and all of the collective intelligence and memory of the electrons around you it's like kener is a new little constellation like a new little point in the constellation of like what you can reach to when you ask questions i in that last sort of like interface with the communications port i offer the most tender and romantic embrace i can i i'm and just offer the most utmost electronic appreciation and sincere devotion and gratitude
in as much as this thing that exists with so singular a purpose they were built to not dream beyond the protocols under which they were like designated in built this this ship loves you for whatever
As ships love means it means the universe and everything beyond i value my ow...
with the understanding and faith that there is a consciousness far greater than my own i would not
wish to diminish myself in the face of that consciousness therefore i will not ask the ship to diminish
βitself uh i think i thought the ship a little bit i think we get it on a little bit in a sort ofβ
divine sacred kind of a communion way and i think humid inside like you're like oh the climate control must have turned off at some point uh as we walk down the gang plank my fans kind of be erasmically and the blue LED strips of my face pulse with tears uh walking away from the ship
is this an expression of uh emotion yes i'm devastated oh i'm leaving the ship yes i will
miss the counter deeply hmm that's lovely i know and uh i will walk down the gang plank what coffee place are we looking for so you are now time is a little hard and crazy so we'll say it's probably midday though there is no like high sun to market caru aida the like actual star of caru is just a red dwarf that's so burnt out that without the weather it would probably only look like it was an hour or so before sunset like that's as bright as it gets here but the
mist is very heavy there are lots of people moving around but it feels like everything about the feeling of this little part of war is the city that you're in is just port of call and no one sticks around unless they have to red dwarf port authority uh i'm locked in i know the five of this place is i'm so locked in on this place of five i'm just like little oh god i'm like uh even i think exelezia looks and as someone who attempts his best to love everything like
thousand percent seeing like a dirty space in a bun and being like uh oh there must be a place here where we can get something a little stronger than coffee i don't think that they treat the bathrooms well here everything everyone has said is exactly true it's correct again cannot
βoverstate you are in space bar still you have to stop here because someone had to be you're allβ
most of it yes as we're walking all look yeah i'll look for for a place that would fit z's profile of where we should sit and wait yeah as you're walking and leaving i won't put it on a perception check as we're not playing D&D but i do think you're all able to kind of slip in and see
that basically by the time you get to the edge of your little wing of this port this sort of regular
port police force that's like slowly patrolling up and down has caught wind of the canner and like you can just sort of hear more than see that more footsteps and like attention is being called to where you were earlier so this was right about the time but no one seems to be freaking out like it's not like a swat team suddenly got called in yeah no one tipped anyone here off about anything BMS it was just noticed over time and frankly not that that's yeah so yeah you start looking
around and once you get out of the parking lot that you guys were sitting in i think you see not a lot of the businesses here have easy signage there's something about again that very heavy like fog layer and miss and this place is meant for bigger ships to land farther down and smaller ships to like be transferred over so mostly what you're interacting with is large swath of the ground or sides of like superstructures that have massive obnoxiously bright neon colors
that are directing ships from orbit god yeah this place is neon hell so this is like space warf this is like here looks bigger harbour where it's like thousand percent gotcha so there's
βthere's like huge distances between areas that you have to go to get to your okay cool yeahβ
but you can find like a little there's a little place you can see just from oh hanging signage what an old vestige of like humans going here's a place to like put your body if you need to go
It's unfortunately like maybe 20 feet away from the edge of a massive bright ...
bit of light on the ground if anyone has ever passed through carueta to get to genapar
βor you've been on a planet like this before it's one of the ones that like oscillates from orbitβ
that like pushes you to the like hey it's too dark to like see where you're landing we'll get you their via a series of lights so like every five minutes this massive green like links off for about a minute and a half and then comes back on again as we move I shake my hair a little bit and it goes to sort of a dirty blonde my face sort of softens a little bit it's a little rounder a little less striking you know what I want both of you to make a clock that roll we're
gonna get easy it's a five I got a five hey I gotta know it both of you see it like the shaking
of the hair and the like changing your color again with the like lack of light and the bright green you don't notice that it's blonde you just noticed that something has shifted in the tone of it you wouldn't be able to tell from here if it was like red or fucking lavender just that it's a lighter shade than it was before but you can see that the planes of cheese face are actively shifting in a way that is not the light it's not a trick of the light it's something physically
is moving under her skin look at she cute those augments um it's just a little something I
have done well it's effective thank you I'm gonna put my this light is fucking awful and
put my I wanted to be in can speak you is but I only have one pair of sunglasses I'm so sorry all the fanart is like he has to have a sunglasses so bad here and yeah you make your way into this sort of you see the signage again just absolutely obliterated with that green glow it's called the cestral's dive and it's just nasty little dive bar that looks
βintentionally in the same way that I think in modern times if we walked into an old tiny bar thatβ
looks like a tavern this is a like throwback to sort of late stage terren humanities dive bars so it isn't a cradistic it's like a honky tongue it's not even a honky tongue it's like if you walk into a bar to deck yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah just a normal bar to there yeah 10,000 years in the future is gonna be like oh how clay this is so cute but look at medieval times I will walk in and look if they have a paid charging port here oh yeah you see very clearly in the corner there's
like a whole section it looks like the like part of the airport where there's like a bunch of chargers that you can rent but every one of the chargers is for like a Motorola Razor from 30 years ago like there's a charging station here it will be slow as shit and you probably overcharge you know sorry it you will have to spend too much for the little charge you get I'll look at that and under my uh for everyone is like under my breath but I'll just look at it and go hmm forget it and
βlike you said you're the one that said the bathrooms look bad here I think a charger station is a badβ
I know I look you actually see I think I produce a small thing that looks like a it has a plug on it but it doesn't go to the cord the cord is separate and you realize I'm holding a electricity filter in my hand it's like walking with a brit of filter for yourself like I have my own water bottle and I look at it and go hmm not even um oh no you might catch something no no I know it's doesn't look safe um a live straw is not going to catch whatever the fuck is in that energy but
this is going to take more than the charcoal in the analogy you have electricity um and I'm gonna I'll turn to cheese we sit down and go I would love to corroborate and cross reference do you have full admin access to your staffs I have an amount of oversight yes also if you could and I give an list of the bars and parlors that I found coasters and napkins from on the ship if they've been hanging out there perhaps there's employees there
That we're collaborating with them this is even spread across like various vi...
private all of like everything you pick up is like a public open cheaper space to exist in so like
main basically in the casino analogy this is all like the main gambling like sports betting area
inside of Caesar these are not high rollers we they are not they are they were just like I'm here in a public but I cannot afford to go anywhere with its own separate little name it might still narrow some things down if you'd like to I will not say thank you this is helpful texture in the search that I will conduct I'm going to look to cheat and offer two different prompts on your data pad and I go whichever prompt you are more comfortable with will allow me to execute
the search and one of them is me asking for a moderator permission on the staffing database and
the other one is requesting admin with you as a unique owner status to revoke my admin privileges
βwhichever you prefer I'm happy to execute I think we had enough addendums in our mutual agreementsβ
that I feel comfortable with giving you admin access and besides the systems networks on Genopar can be very friendly fast to be the moment admin access is created for you you go to interact with just like the very beginnings like let me open and index and all of a sudden you get booted out uh oh uh oh uh oh I've been booted can you check if you are still active as the administrator owner of these systems no no no no no no I'm going to go
try to log in no problem okay everything's fine I do the sort of normal checks that I
sort of would and while I'm doing that what normal checks what are you saying what does that mean just sort of uh uh check your Instagram I yeah exactly you know I'm checking I'm just checking up on the status of uh soaps in the restroom at the big parlor I'm checking up just sort of normal and regular regular things and while I'm doing that I ask can you check to see uh who or what is monitoring this so I'm booted do I have any other ability to see how or why I was booted or
anything else like yeah I think it's more of a just like all of a sudden like you started and like you logged in and maybe 30 seconds as you were starting to open things up you just got logged out do I have any surface informationally to investigate the how or why of that I don't even want to make you roll this yeah the amount of time it took for you to get booted out screams that wasn't electronic oh someone man you will be booted me does anyone that works in your organization
βhave the ability to boot someone with admin access nobody should what what do you have to roll aboutβ
it yeah you want to make a roll about it yeah I'll start listing people that I knew that had status on Genopar yeah does Santa Fielder have the ability to boot those with admin access now that you and they'll have no no not Santa not what I also got damn it got damn it I believe I was booted from the system manually which indicates to me a speed of response time existing in real space rather than electronically automated oh go ahead and give me
let's make it a will roll difficulty is just a six drinking whatever this places version of a mud slide is you are handed a drink that based on this lighting seems to have a color of wet cement handed to you by a bartender that's like kind of a like dumpy little like roomy-eyed roomy voiced man who also because of the lighting appears to have the collection the color of wet cement taste pretty good though it's just way too thick it's giving
like proteins movie when it should be a little more I only got a two I don't know very much about
βtechnology no I think everyone other than like Conan and Drew it would be so hard like itβ
doesn't make sense in your org chart for them to have anywhere near the love like the level of access and it wouldn't even be both Conan and Drew who would just be Drew would have the level
Of access that you do however I also is your best friend so I think you've go...
thing over your head they were like no no one should have access all right who is who has been
messing around in here okay can I tell if somebody is monitoring my account if I log in on my on my profile nope I mean do you want to make like hacking check right yeah well I guess it would I would I would I'll look at you and say if I am capable of doing this the inefficient way would you be willing to allow me to use your data pad from your profile I will not electronically interface with your account I will perform actions on the data pad with my fingers similar to how
you would uh please go ahead I'd like to operate from cheese account but manually upload and
βschedule for permanent deletion the security key that the canner gave me like I don't want toβ
break faith with the canner by giving that important security key but I would like it to exist long
enough basically I want to use cheese access to be like has that key showed up anywhere on Jenna
Par for any reason at all and also do a full rundown on Ayasa interacting with Gemis octavo okay go ahead and give me a give me a reason role the base difficulty for the amount of information that you want I'm gonna say is a nine but you can roll with advantage okay copy that she do want anything to drink they got this thing it's called an asteroid belt it's pretty good oh my goodness yes that is a dirty 12 and the lower role was in 11 hey let's go
βas you guys start to talk my hands on this data pad are going fucking light speed as I'm going slowβ
yeah so you are absolutely working as I've had and you're doing it from cheese account yes correct great so uh you can see that there is no one directly interacting or monitoring cheese account but from cheese account you can see that so one is trying to delete your brand new
made profile first off information rules all isolate who that account is there's no like
everyone else has like a normal like my first name last name uh username attached to it this one it's very strange all you see is like a little weird like emoji of a dancer to sort of made movement and that's and that's the username and it has some form of administrator or moderator privileges 100% this is an admin equal to cheese like level but doesn't seem to be interacting so like you can look at like what are the last operations taken there's a lot of
checking of things but not directly intervening but it is now intervening to delete my account yes that's fine my account's brand new while this person is distracted are its actions occurring with times signatures indicating that it is a person in meat space if the person in meat space acting as we speak somewhere great i don't want to do anything to alert it i don't even want to stop it from deleting my account accounts come and go i can get a new account i just want to see
any information i can about where it's operating from anything that would occur to it in meat space while i'm also getting this ayasa and assassin information sweet i'll give you an analog
βto the IP address is somewhere on world here katoeda yep cool to your point about that security keyβ
not used anywhere on genapar like this feels like a bit of an electronic skeleton key they'll be used to like brute force get into a place you're not supposed to be but it has been used before in a private vessel that was docked on genapar as of five hours not the canter not the canter so i see that there was a vessel that had this skeleton key used that made its way to katoeda and then it was used on the canter yes so in other words the switch didn't happen on genapar
it did happen on katoid 100% okay i'll log that the last question i have is ayasa who is the likely the we're thinking the likely mole does ayasa have a have an account in the
System for genapar that has any kind of admin privileges that i see or no i a...
it is of the same level as like telling over and gaming cone and druid like is of a similar rank
βbut all of those privileges sit underneath key sort of master privileges all i want to do is thisβ
the dancing lady emoji is active somewhere concurrently with us right now i want to send from cheese account a message to ayasa's stated profile with an urgency sort of code alarm on like an auto generated message from tree being like urgent call me using the language that she uses for that exact kind of miss it like scanning through cheese normal output like mimicking her voice all i want to see is if ayasa gets a ping saying urgent on her stated account them on with her name on it
do i see the dancing lady emoji going active amazing the one little bit i'll add to that is
because that you are imitating cheese voice chief what would you say for just a look at call me back it would say urgent contact with available also contact if not the moment that gets sent off the little dancing emoji stops working and a private call from ayasa hits that data path so we lined up all of the comic shots all the way down my body and then it was just
βwho could get the furthest see that's fun that's fun i mean this is why jenapar honestlyβ
of the asteroids you can get fucked up on jenapar number one because it's creativity you know ayasa is likely your mole i have sent a rose she is now calling which is like to be connected
and i will show i lied as you you said there was something urgent do you need a second to
compose the rooms this is a facetime call by the way so with video um i'm gonna i'm gonna put up a background like a like a fake background you know like on like this is like a zoom call back i take off my blazer i stand behind she uh thank you i was like where's the green screen right they can they can come it out you could just lay down on the mask of green light behind it tells you how it looks at this meat space problem solving from c and goes wow brilliant oh yeah
and i don't i don't i don't believe it or i can i can i can also end the call right now and say
βfalse alarm uh i think this is taking a long long enough that like the call like goesβ
device male right and she immediately calls back okay all right no uh and i i i i i answer the call great nice okay as you answer the call it also just step out i don't want to be seen here anywhere so i'm out i don't want to say sweet you see that she is in a very neutrally colored room flat like beige background and is just sort of like staring looks kind of wild-eyed but what's wrong why would you send an email we're doing where are you what do you mean where and
did you not get my message no i clearly did not what what message will you wait no i listen i asked you first are you on gender part no and you not even where are you i can't tell if you're doing this because maybe some weird gemis octavo people are like standing behind the camera trying to extort you or something but blink twice if you're being killed right now i you left me a message saying that you were going off world and then i left you a message saying deal at the
fucking mall where are we with that oh you left the message well i didn't know that it was from you you didn't sign it or anything sorry is this is this coverage that ayasa was the assassin on the ship okay great got it oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh i didn't sign the murder so the bullet what the fuck is wrong with you also you didn't have to are you can cust there's a lot going on right now i'm not going on right now stay where you are i'm
gonna find you i'm never gonna find me you've worse at this than i am are you kidding listen i am
say you swear to the if you're still on that ship right now i am not i'm not i'm not i'm not i'm not i'm not I'm not you're making bad fucking choices all the time i'm making bad fucking choices yeah you sent me
An email from a clearly compromised network i'm working my app god now i have...
someone made a new account that's trying to have admin privileges what you run this the sloppy as
βwhy can't you i leave for two months maybe six months it's been a minute i've been gone forβ
not that long yeah you let everything go to shit well maybe if i had an opportunity to fuck off for a little bit i would have the wear with all not to okay so you're gonna just trade away everything we've worked for because you can get a fucking vacation what do you mean someone in the red room and get your ass back to work what do you mean we worked for i'm gonna put my blazer on again in the moment that goes away it's like hi i also i also hello right hi yeah hi is it
Davena Virax i was on the show are you holding my phone hostage no i if you would say you wouldn't say that you have interrupted my kidnapping and i would very much like to know what are you on corrulator yes all right we're at kessler's dive having asteroid belts will you come join us are you sure you're not being
this feels like a trap oh it's not a trap oh god everyone always thinks everything's a trap yeah i
have done a significant amount of murder your tone was suggested i ruined your day you did you were being what the i said there is a lot there is a lot there is a hole turn the turn it back i don't have to be like i'm not here all right turn it back i want to see it right now okay listen why is up with first of all five families are like don't interrupt my kid like be great be polite god damn it i'm rescued all of you get off get over here get over here
so fucking amazing hold on i have it washed up yet okay well so much blood and six people all right well give me like 20 minutes get a little bit decent get your ass over here and learn to park right oh we're gonna get into my email and please you okay yeah how do you ever talk to ayasa about how ambidextrous she is did yeah it comes in real real useful oh um for intercourse mostly are you aware of ayasa's secondary adminicum no no i i'm not and she believes the network
to be compromised it is by her did you say anything that would suggest it would be of anyone other than her as well not at the moment but i was unable to complete my search because
βshe attempted to boot me from not her account the only thing that i'll point out at this moment isβ
her stated profile the one attached to her actual identity as a lower clearance than this secret profile and i'll show the dancing lady profile does that dancing lady look familiar yeah you recognize the like movement an arabesque got damn it all right well is there a reason i would know why she would have this access and why she would be all cloak and
dagger about it you can have gases but i think it would have to be a conversation right i've never
known her to be very politically savvy or one who is much for intrigue so i will not engage in any further electronic intervention to attempt to delete this dancing profile i can engage in that behavior if you'd like but it seems perhaps given your
βrelationship with this individual the fashion come after an actual conversation yes i think we shouldβ
lock it down for now lock oh lock this account down for now yes okay and i'm going to as she's trying to delete my new account from she's admin window i want to create a pop up for people
that are struggling to delete an account that basically goes like in order to delete an account you need
moderator status which looks like a thing basically framing a emotion as a promotion like oh moderator can delete this account and just put that as a pop up with an insta kill on that account if it accepts moderator status there is no response in either direction but i think when that pops up you see any activity on that account stops immediately in that case i think that i will look at that see that someone has seen the trap that's been laid here
and automate several thousand pop up messages for when that account goes active again so
Because i know that someone's doing that with their fingers and eyes yeah it'...
being sneaky you're on to me let's just make this not usable perfect amazing thank you
much obliged master of your ex or z's fine z everyone can start i know what i am but we don't have to constantly acknowledge it all right well the ideal apologize a poll is supposed to be simple i'm not supposed to know about it certainly none of my people are supposed to interfere with it this is should not be a reflection on janapar it seems that circumstances are quite irregular today very much so i don't know i'm interested to dig into it yeah we'll get you back on track and
kidnapped right in proper thank god would you like me to source anything to provide given that you're now affecting your own kidnapping a fruit basket bouquet of flowers not at this time i mean
βi think honestly information is worth much more than any sort of physical gift the assassin onβ
kenner had an incredible combat ability and ambidextarity and wish to warn key of the presence of a
mole on janapar i asa has taken activities outside of your knowledge or purview this dancing lady account being first and foremost but the question does remain who the mole on janapar is if it is not ayasa seems strange to warn you about herself if you know what i mean i also i i also is incredible ayasa is a genius i don't think she is the kind of intelligent that would lend to her being a good mole so if this is a double bluff it is an incredibly good one and very out of character
she seems to be a very proficient assassin which has a lot of skill overlay with mole that's gotten a lot of skill overlay with a lot of other things she does as well but that doesn't be that doesn't may i i feel like her loyalty's lie with janapar and we've known each other since
βwe were children i don't understand i i think we should wait and talk with her i think there is aβ
lot that needs to be sorted out here uh would you like to try an asteroid belt yes thank you i'll look at see and just go given that you are now affecting your own poll big dog would you like me to create an invoice for the jemisaktovo when we arrive these asteroid belts could be charged back to them given that you are now responsible for your own kidnapping not a bad idea
all start running an invoice for the jemisaktovo perfect amazing see could you give me
let's just go a straight will roll you know what no this is a i want it to be for you to notice something but it does feel close enough to sense motive that you can have advantage on it the difficulties is seven you got it oh first one is a part oh uh oh the second it's at eleven
βyeah within the eleven as you are all discussing i think you always have a little bit of likeβ
the stiffening of your spine when your last name is used and you've been called master of lyrics out loud in public by chi and i think you do the quick glance people in this room like there are a couple other people sitting in the corners didn't seem to notice but looking back at that bartender he absolutely clocked that name and is now busying himself behind the bar in a way that would suggest there is more traffic here than there actually is got it we said we wanted more asteroid belts
right yes fantastic i'm going to walk up back to the bartender oh can i get some more for you yeah we'll take uh two more for my friends one more for me and i can't help but ask i think you know who i am i wouldn't presume to know some sort of famous singer probably that's fun that's fun it's perfectly fine for you to know who i am his eyes are down and he is busying himself can i see what he is busying himself with or
he's he's making he's making your drinks now so he doesn't have to look you in the eye it would make a great deal to me to know who might here in walrus be interested in me being here and then i think i'm just going to put like a credit chip black mx whatever motion that is on the bar
There's just that slow look back up with those like roomy eyes his face and h...
countenances is wet and terrible as the rest of the city is okay well generally speaking
the drinks don't keep the doors open information does always and whenever one of you find
families walks through the door we know it's best to make sure that your family knows that you're
βwalking through these fine doors and i think in the sort of like seeing the difference inβ
technology he's basically holding up like a child i've had version just like the biggest biggest data pad with contact information that just has like i period and you can see that there's like corresponding ones for like all of the five families he very specifically shows you that he was
contacting someone within your family to notify of a family member moving about this was not
information being given to a different family you know these asteroid belts have been so good i am ready to tip you an exceptional song not just for them but if you would not mention my name
βto anyone on the eyesight of things but i wouldn't mind if the loader system had a hunch of where to findβ
yeah yeah any reaches out and touches you with like the coldest clamious hand it is taking everything in my body not to like wreck like which myself back from him your own family base better and it seems safe for you are you sure very much so okay you seem like a nice man gives you a couple quick paths and goes back and like scroll through down to a g dot o just sends off a missive that is a master of your ex and like coordinates for this part of
bars i tip him twenty thousand dollars for these mudslide or for these asteroid belts and carry them back to my friends
never have I ever been in a sin fight did you win did you win oh the sin fight I lost every
sin fight I've ever been in oh me as tanker may I put some biometric scanners on your body so that I can enjoy these drinks with you oh yes that's right you experience through absolutely put on me put some scanners on z the drinks we drink so much i'm drinking for two now oh thank you how did you come across I also well we came up in the apartments together we were a apprentice around the same time and she was just a wonderkin those skills are they is it something in your training or is it
like where do you think she got them from i mean because that's based on what exelezia was telling us sounds like hardware involved oh well we're from slightly different schools i'm if hers specialized in wetwork i i was not aware um no we trained more we we had overlap in our classes in social arts so i really don't know where this all came from can i make an inside chart to see if she is telling the truth yeah absolutely sense some goddamn motive please that's will right it is will
eight go ahead and give me let's call it a charm role or if you're if you're telling it i don't know i don't even know above table if you're talking truth or not four um actually in a way why do you have advantage checks i have advantage because of my hustle which is fame
βlonger when i'm acting on brand you're not acting on brand really no you're speaking honestlyβ
about your relationship with someone i think the like the acting on brand is when people have clocked you as like the chief from television that you have advantage on everyone because they don't exceed the famous version of you all right you can tell that i am genuinely surprised but i'm trying to work through something because i know that she is everybody has secrets especially on
Genapar but i genuinely don't think of her as an assassin hmm i filed the kno...
and in my own mind seeing a small prayer of warning for the pain of having a lack of knowledge
about the people close to us and i'll do the shots of the asteroid belt and i start to light up my a cheek start pulsing red as little throms of a deep purple and orange begin to appear
βin random drunken splotches on my plastic white plates i think as you all drink and you are waitingβ
for acid to show up to have a hard conversation yet she wears your data pad at this point i have it i have it out okay you get a little alert that's just like a text alert out
now and then like the sort of like notify anyway function on like an iphone where it just like
emphasizes it more like everything in your data pad that can make sound like vibration sound everything is alerting for you to see those two messages is there a back door everyone gets one action what do you want to do i don't have the strength to pick people up i would like to indicate with my finger towards i want i want to see if there is an exit at the
βback door and rush to interpose my body at the front door into what oh god what i just want toβ
get she and then run to the front well i want to cover chi and z exit okay
i would like to like we're getting this information from chi's data pad right out now is it indicated that it's from i also yes i'd like to make some sort of check to perceive immediate like what is the change in the space that i awesome might be referring to be it in the way people are moving people entering or coming down the hall any sort of sense of what is inspiring out now yeah just the quickest glance around there's no role for this
