[ Ariadne just looks quietly into the device, quietly attempting to find the right words for her thoughts, as her brow furrows slightly as she does.

Finally stating with a small sigh and a crinkle of her nose: ] I'm sure some of you have noticed the maps aren't exactly the most accurate of things.

[ whoever the architect is that created this damn dream is good, because it’s really hard to keep up with the changes. clearly Ariadne looks slightly annoyed about that fact and she can't help but frown slightly at it all, as she lets out a low sound in thought, before she is asking with curiosity. ]

So I'm wondering if any of you have any found any new corridors or rooms that I haven't added to the maps, because I'd love to see them if you have.

[ a pause and her brow is arching slightly in question, adding: ] Also. With everything that has been going on, has anyone thought about perhaps having a town hall style meeting? It might give us all a chance to talk in person and not just through these devices. At least that way, more of us could be on the same page with things.


[ Locked to Arthur ( » 004 » 081 ) and The Wraith ( OPR » 001 » 099 ) | encrypted 85% ]

I'd still like to talk to you when you have time.
But I warn you now; I will not be coming alone.

Also, this is not me seeking you out by the way. I'm just merely reminding you that I haven't forgot.

Do we even know how big this place is?

video;

[constructum]

As of now? No. It appears that things are changing constantly, which only has us wondering, just how big it really is.

[ a beat, adding with curiosity: ] Have you been here long?

voice。

[topology]

[ If Arthur wants to tell her to be careful, it's nothing he hasn't said before. (It's half the reason he's going in the first place.) Instead: ]

Town hall?

voice。

[constructum]

[ He doesn't need to remind her of it, as she obviously knows she needs to be. (it's why she is allowing him to come after all) ]

Yeah. [ a small sound of excitement at her thoughts escapes her then (she likes this idea, okay), as she is quickly adding. ] If we can get as many people as we can in a room at once, we might just learn stuff people aren't willing to share over the network. [ a beat ] You think it's a bad idea?

video;

[cargojet]

Not that the suggestion hasn't been made, just that the delivery isn't quite up to par.

video;

[constructum]

And how should the delivery be if we want this to happen?

Private;

[andblockbuster]

And it might keep us from being overheard...

Private;

[constructum]

[ pretty much that. ]

I figure there are going to be people more prone to share things perhaps, when they honestly feel like they aren't on display as well. [ or this is her hope. ]

Also, it may be a good way for us to start getting some order around here, you know? No one seems to know what is going on, and as much as I know we should be laying low - attempting not to cause any waves. I feel that, if we don't try to get some type of understanding going here, none of us are going to get any of the answers we are looking for here -- you know what I mean?

[ a pause and she is adding in curiosity: ] You haven't had any issues on the network have you?

[video]

[circumitus]

I wouldn't know until I see the maps, but -- I've been keeping it all in my head. If you'd like, I can draw down the places I've been to.

[Oh hi, Ariadne. Long time no see.]

[video]

[constructum]

[ HEY REY, DID YOU MISS HER, because she isn't about to tell you about her breakdown and just what that gas (or whatever) did to her. ]

You know you are more then welcome to see them -- granted half of the layout aside from the few obvious places of interest for us, really aren't what they were when we started. [ a beat ] Meaning, the layout has been unexplainably changing each jump.

How much have you been exploring, Rey?

video

[unparental]

Plus one for a town hall. Normally I'd say party, but we can all let off steam on our own time. [ she sighs, blowing a strand of hair briefly out of her face before she reaches up to tuck it back. ] It never rains but it pours seems to be the MO right now.

[constructum]

[ she offered jenna a faint smile at that, giving her a small nod in approval to what she was saying. because lets face it, it makes no sense to be a doom and gloom now with all of this, so she has to appreciate jenna's take on it all. ]

I'm not sure how we exactly go about setting something up like this, but I'm going to at least aim for getting it started. [ a beat ] I assume we will need to set out a few topics that need to be brought up there, right?

voice;

[leaps]

It probably is better to meet in person to discuss things, but a large group might get...unwieldy.

voice;

[constructum]

[ there is a small sound in agreement that escapes her at that, before she is saying: ] True. I suppose anytime you have a large group of people together, you should always assume things perhaps could happen. [ a beat ] But I'm hoping with some origination from our makeshift security force, that perhaps could be dealt with.

Unless you think perhaps something could happen that is outside of even securities control?

[upstairsbrain]

[Pinged by discussion of the layout of the ship. It had interested Sam since he'd arrived.]

You've been mapping out the place? I thought it couldn't be done.

video;

[constructum]

[ her brow furrowed slightly at the face she didn't recognize, only to give a small nod, before her nose crinkled slightly at it, letting out a small sound in thought. ]

As much as I could I guess. I'm an architect, layouts and whatnot tend to be what I do best. So I've been trying to get a grasp on the layout the best that I could, but obviously it seems to be constantly changing with each jump. [ a beat ] I'm hoping though, that perhaps there might be a pattern I can pick up on with the layout.

[puppydogeyes]

You okay?

text;

[constructum]

[ it takes ariadne a moment to respond to the text. only due to the fact; she just doesn't know what to say. she knows some would have taken notice to her absence, but trying to explain it all really was going to be tricky she assumed - not wanting to reveal too much of what she assumed was the reasoning behind it all. (glitches in the pasiv, reactions to prolonged exposure of somnican, things like that.)

but when she does, she honestly does want to convey her appreciation for tykes caring. ]

honestly? i've been better.
but i'm trying to not let things get to me.
i'd rather get back into things, you know?
least see if there is something i can help with now.

[tumbleweeds]

[ Jaye still has bruises decorating her face, but she's ignoring them. ]

Everyone together? We'd be a bunch of sitting ducks. All they'd have to do is lock the doors, wait for people to panic and then to get hungry.

We're being watched. Doesn't matter if we use the devices or not -- you go far enough in the ship, away from everyone else, and you can feel it.

video;

[constructum]

[ ariadne's brow just furrows, as she looks at the woman (who clearly looks like she has been through the ringer) with a slightly questioning - almost disbelieving look. because let's face it; THAT'S A BIT MORBID for a projection. ]

Um...well. [ a small sound of thought escapes her then, as her hand starts to unconsciously rub at the back of her neck, adding with a confidence to her tone. ] I think there is enough of us that are fairly level-headed, that we could pretty much look out for each other if anything did suddenly pop up. So I'm not about to hide in my room in fear of being eaten -- I'd never leave it if I let the fear get to me you know?

[ a quick pause and she was adding in curiosity: ] As far as the feeling -- do you have it all the time?

[signatures]

getting all of these people in a room together is an excellent idea for a fighting ring

though more seriously what is it you want hashed out ? the demon bit ?

text

[constructum]

i think dean has set one up. called it a fight club or something. when you're up to it, you should check that out.

more or less though, i think if we can get people together, perhaps we can see what they all are truly like. maybe we could even get some more answers to things we just aren't understanding yet. and maybe we can even start forming some sort of structure. because honestly? i would really like to see how people are dealing with it all and not just through these devices.

video;

[firstofficer]

What is it that you wish to be upon the same page with?

video;

[constructum]

Pretty much everything. A lot has been going on, it might be nice to give everyone a chance to talk about it all -- away from talking via the devices you know? [ though, perhaps that is just her and her need to see and hear things for herself, and not hearing it all second hand via the network (which she is learning, is rather easy to creep on) ]

I mean, it might put people at ease some if they know people are trying to work together, and having a large meeting in a sense might help with that.

text;

[cutsofftheirlimbs]

Currently working on a more detailed map of Engineering, that I can pass along to you, if you want. It's not yet complete, but that's because we're still woefully short-handed.

Though I'd show up at a town hall meeting.

text;

[constructum]

I don't know much about engineering -- aside from the obvious design aspects to it. But I'd love to see what you have. Perhaps I could even help with them.

I will put your name on this list of yes then for the meeting.

Question: have you asked for help in engineering? (i may have missed it, but i thought i should ask)

video

[swagneto]

Depends on the content of the meeting, that is.

video

[constructum]

I was more or less thinking, perhaps if we had a place that we could all talk -- outside of the networks, maybe we could start trying to work out some type of structure. Maybe talk about how we all should handle things when they arise, and where we all go when things needed.

[ a small sound escapes her then, as she then quickly adding to her thoughts. ] I think perhaps that people don't always get a chance to watch the network all the time, that they honestly miss things -- so trying to cover a few things in person, well, it might help us out.

Personally, I would rather hear things for myself, rather then take others interpretations as fact, if that makes any sense?

[theguidinghand]

This was not part of the agreement.

[constructum]

you can't expect me to come alone. because really, i'm not about to risk my life here.

i promise you, no one knows about any of this but him. i trust him with my life after all.

[statsraaden]

I've been exploring lately and I might have new corridors.

newcorridors.jpg

I would also agree to a meeting.

[constructum]

Thank you.

[ the file is quickly saved and put aside for later, so she and the others in her team can look over them when they can. ]

Have you noticed anything about the new corridors? I mean, how outdated are they?

video;

[shadeling]

[ Lightly, she tilts her head to the side, giving the girl a curious look.]

I've had time to explore the ship. Corridors, rooms I haven't seen before. [ A beat. She's kept a few notes of her own, more for the sake of having something to work on, rather than being left to her thoughts alone. Especially not after those thoughts nearly destroyed her. Again. ]

But, I haven't seen your maps... [ a beat.] Can you show me?

[ even though she was convinced this girl, much like the rest of this place, was a dream, projections, obtaining knowledge of said dream from said projections was nothing too new to Mal. ]

video;

[constructum]

[ ariadne's first reaction to seeing mal again, is one of pure nervousness, as she can't help but fall silent, looking at her in contemplation over just what she should do. it's odd, her being here like she is, but with things the way they are (not knowing whose shade she belongs to), it's really hard to try to understand it fully, so all she can do is take it all moment to moment and offer her a small nod and a ghost of a nervous smile. ]

I've been working on them since I showed up with the first wave of people. I figured I could get a grasp of who the architect was that way. [ she obviously hasn't had any luck though. as there is very little that has remained the same in the layout with each jump. ] So far I don't know much.

[ there's a pause then, her brow furrowing deeply in thought as she attempts to figure out if indeed showing mal the maps would be a good thing. if this was a dream that they created, obviously the answer would be no. but clearly this isn't one she has any control over, so the idea of getting her thoughts on it all is clearly too tempting. ]

I'm sure we could work something out. [ a beat ] Have you ever seen a design like this before?

video;

[hisfinestact]

I feel someone [ why it needs to be him is like the ongoing question of Jaime's life, and his face says so ] should note that if we are meant harm by this mysterious poet, gathering everyone in a single location and discussing it publicly may not be the most tactically sound strategy ever devised.

video;

[constructum]

[ the look of his is met with one of question, as she clearly isn't sure if he is mocking her plan, or merely stating his thoughts. ] I think, no matter where we are, if the mysterious red texter wants to find us, they will. People working in a group isn't going to make it anymore easier then it already is.

A meeting where we all can talk and discuss though, well, that seems like a good way to keep all on the same page.

[saint_kitten]

Can't we consider it a mysterious labyrinth and not worry about it, sweetheart? [ May or may not be a pout. Yup, it's a pout. ]

[constructum]

[ oh it's you. ariadne might just look slightly nervous for a moment, before she quickly brushes it away, offering kitten a small ghost of a smile at the corner of her mouth. ]

It would be nice if it was something right out of mythology. Perhaps I would have a better chance with understanding it then. [ a beat, adding: ] If we don't figure out something though, we may never really get any answers, you know?

[voice]

[doggedly]

And are the maps yours, or do you just take personal offense on their behalf?

[voice]

[constructum]

[ a small sound escapes her at that, almost as if she is torn between amusement at what the voice said, or if she wants to believe he is mocking her in some form. ]

I've drawn them up, so I suppose I'm responsible for the content that is on them. [ a beat, adding: ] So I guess I'm more invested in them then perhaps the others that contributed information for them.

Why?

Video;

[theblogger]

A town meeting sounds like a good idea, though there's an issue of where we'd hold over two hundred people.

[ Hey Ariadne, it's been a... long time, hasn't it? ]

Video;

[constructum]

[ Hey Dr. Watson, long time no see.

a small smile at the corner of her mouth, because yes, she has thought about just that statement. ]

I was honestly torn between the holodeck or the shuttle bay. I guess we just have to look at ones safer, you know?

[ a beat, asking: ] How have you been, Doctor Watson?

audio;

[toppling]

[ A beat of silence, then: ]

Arthur filled me in on what happened.

[ When the fear gas was released, he means. There's an 'are you alright?' embedded in the statement, but he doesn't ask yet. ]

audio | encrypts 85%

[constructum]

[ there’s a small smile - though unseen - that appears the moment she hears his voice. because no matter the situation, having that familiar voice around is more of a comfort then she will admit. ]

Something isn't it. [ she says with a hint of amusement, as if that is enough to say she is okay. (as much as one can be of course) ]

Almost makes it impossible to plan for anything. [ a beat, adding: ] How are you?
