it's more of a preventive measure. i'd like not to get sick if i don't have to.

how sick are you? i'm assuming here.

[adjy]

Not as much as everyone else.

[nishizono]

so still sick, just less sick. are you contagious?

[adjy]

It doesn't appear to be airbourne. Everyone has a different version of the disease, in different degrees.

[nishizono]

[ sounds like a weaponized virus. this is quickly becoming his second least favorite place. ]

and no one's died yet?

[adjy]

Not yet.

[nishizono]

i'll keep an eye out for dead people, then. it's always a good sign.

[adjy]

People here don't stay dead long, if you see a body alert someone. It more than likely won't be one of us.

[nishizono]

who's us in this case? there's an us vs them situation here too?

[adjy]

Some people seem to think so. Are you newly arrived?

[nishizono]

brand spankin' new, yeah. i'm missing my history lessons, apparently.

[adjy]

I don't usually say this, but perhaps the catch-up can wait. If you can help it, stay as secluded as possible just in case.

How did you find my Contact ID?

[nishizono]

i figured the cuffs sync with every empty room, because mine did, so i just sent a text each to every single room. there's like thirty, about half of those pinged back with an error.

why?

[adjy]

Clever.

I don't have any pharmaceuticals or know of how to acquire them, unfortunately. The best I can tell you is sometimes things just show up. Things you may need.

[nishizono]

thanks.

and that's really damn ominous of you to say. stuff just shows up? outta nowhere, without any warning?

[adjy]

Yes. It's very unsettling.

[nishizono]

great, we've got a big brother situation here too.

this place is a damn carnival.

[adjy]

I'm not familiar with those terms, but if I'm extracting your tone properly then that's correct. Though the council is still out on if anyone is actually watching. There are currently multiple conflicting theories on the matter.

[nishizono]

[ conflicting theories at least means that people have put their heads together and tried to resolve the matter. that's a point in their favor, whoever "they" are. tetora wonders if he should start counting himself as among them, now. ]

which theory's your pick?

[adjy]

I suppose I'm in the minority. I believe we have to give the previous occupants of this ship the benefit of the doubt, especially if they're still alive. That perhaps they set something into motion they never intended to hurt anyone. Or that they were attacked the same way we are now under attack.

[nishizono]

if things were truly that benign i would eat a fist, but i see where you're coming from on that. sometimes luck is just shit for a group of people and they can't escape it.

has anyone gotten off this ship?

[adjy]

Don't mistake my stay of judgment as absolution. Something was done here to disrupt the natural order of things and I don't believe they are unburdened from guilt.

Yes. I don't have a complete list but I suspect someone onboard must. At least, people come and go. No one knows where they go, but they are not to be found in the accessible quadrants of the station.

[nishizono]

fair enough.

[ accessible implies there are places that aren't - and of course, now tetora just wants to check those locked-away places out. ]

i'm gonna check those inaccessible places out if i can, then. see what's up with this weirdass place. thanks for the info.

[adjy]

In the Command Centre. You'll find a map.

If you want company, I know this station pretty well by now.

[nishizono]

gotcha. are you busy now? we can go if you're cool with it.
