Tranquility, this is Jim Kirk.

Anyone injured or still suffering side effects from the fear gas should check in with medical. Scans are showing the gas is out of the ship's circulation now, but we can never be too careful. For anyone wondering, we do have a suspect in custody, but he's currently recovering from a high dosage of the toxin.

[he pauses, a clear indication that he's changing topics.]

We all knew we were being watched. Despite this recent information, nothing's really changed. Nevertheless I encourage everyone to stay alert and try not to travel alone. This thing is trying to make us nervous, lets try not to give it what it wants.

[the filter is a simple one and used solely to make this post private from any civilian prying eyes. Jim knows it will be hacked, and he isn't about to toot his own horn publicly when people are panicking. he's flagged people both versed in this scientific bullshit and outside, because Jim knows as well as any that sometimes it takes an outside view to see outside the box.

just in case anyone hasn't spotted it yet, he fires off a LINK to the hidden documents, along with the translation, making it plain English instead of happy morse code.]

This isn't the first time this thing has mentioned me.

I'm not opening speculation about what the list means, we've got enough of that going on, but whatever this is has purposely left out the clues we need to figure it out. I think Chase has summed it up the best possible way: we're being laughed at.

I tried running another trace but the only thing I keep coming up with is static. Whatever this thing is, it's either part of the ship or has been here for a damn long time. It's coding is almost identical to the network's build.

Who was it? How did he do it? What are you going to do with him?

[She isn't totally ignoring the red smile situation, but it hasn't actually done anything yet. Better to deal with what can actually be dealt with.]

Designation --- » 003 » 038, passenger Doctor Jonathan Crane is believed to have utilized a neurotoxin with organic origins from his native continuum. The gas was released within the ventilation units of the Oxygen Gardens and proceeded to contaminate the ship at large.

At present, he remains in medical bay, suffering identical effects of exposure.

Does he have any more of it? Can he make more? At present doesn't tell me what you're going to do with him.

Your concerns in order- to the knowledge of this vessel at large, no. Given that the substance has been created once, even lacking the original plant required, I do not believe a synthesized version to be impossible to design.

As far as the doctor himself, no one has declared themselves singularly responsible for his consequences.

If it's possible he could make more then someone needs to make sure he doesn't. Or can't.

At present it is not yet concluded that Crane is responsible, further, that he acted alone.

You wouldn't offer his name up if you weren't pretty fucking sure. You think he had help?

As the individual responsible, for what reason would he subject himself to the same toxin?

[Good point.]

Any ideas on who?

At present, the activities of our anonymous communicator have garnered significantly greater attention.

[ read: >( ]

Which we can do fuck all about. Should have said something to Kirk.

Something?

[hi Tyke]

Said what to me?

I get that everyone's freaking the fuck out over the list. But all you've got to say about the shit we just went through is 'we have a suspect'. And then it turns out even your guy here thinks he probably isn't the only one behind it. Red smile hasn't done anything except talk big. And we can't do anything about it. Someone involved in this neurotoxin shit is still running around: We can do something about that.

Maybe it was timed that way on purpose.

[if not by the gasser, than by Smiley.]

We're having trouble finding any kind of clue linking another person to this. We can assume it was another guest on the ship, possibly someone Crane would work with, but asking who looks suspicious isn't exactly easy. Everyone looks suspicious to someone on this ship.

You have a security team. And security isn't just cleaning up messes after they happen. Maybe you should start using them properly.

[he'd started this, if he's honest, but implementing something more serious was clearly in order.]

I've already got people searching the ship, if that's what you mean.

Searching. Investigating. Interviewing. Interrogating. Do you have a police force where you're from?

Yes.

[but Jim isn't forensics, ok, god Tyke]

So try something like that.

[She doesn't expect him to be directly involved. She just wants a leader she can listen to.]
