[Timed an hour or so after Resnik's announcement. Most people should be asleep still, Taylor hopes, but it'd only take a few people jumping the gun before they had a chaotic mess. They'd managed to avoid anything like that so far, they didn't need it happening at the resolution of this situation.]

Passenger decks are secure.
Power has been restored + lockdown lifted.
People are free to return to their rooms.
Orderly + calm.

Request assistance restoring O2 gardens to prior condition.
Supplies need to be returned to original departments.
Don't just leave your shit for agriculture to clear up.
O2 gardens keep us all alive.

[And one last part, added after a moment of reluctance.]

Advise caution re: masks.
No apparent threat or danger detected.
But we've got no fucking idea where they came from.
All know how this shit goes by now.

Nice.
Get rid of it.

[tumbleweeds]

it's not like i want to wear it when it has spikes on the inside

text;

[puppydogeyes]

You want to keep it around?
Don't know where they're from what they do.
Doesn't mean you have to wear it to get whatever fucked up they're probably tied to.

[tumbleweeds]

what the fuck am i supposed to do with it, light it on fire?

text;

[puppydogeyes]

Because fire on a spaceship is such a fucking great idea.
Trash it I don't know.
Whatever.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

yeah, that was my fucking point

text;

[puppydogeyes]

So what you don't know how to improvize destroying something?
Call bullshit on that.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

not gonna shoot it in case it bounces off the spikes or hits something important
sure as fuck not going to try and destroy it with my teeth & claws in case it is satan's halloween mask
(lucifer is actually pretty charming but he's still, you know, the devil)
and i am not going near the airlock in case the power cuts out again

[puppydogeyes]

So put it in the disposal.
Find something in engineering or the shuttle bay.
Hack it up.
Probably got acid shit in the science department.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

what the fuck is the science department doing with acid

[ spoilers she's going to try that one ]

text;

[puppydogeyes]

Science department.
Acid + alkali + looking at genes + dropping shit guessing how fast it falls.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

wow school would have been much more interesting if they let us play with acid
maybe i missed that part

if anyone else needs masks to get rid of i can try and do a whole bunch in acid at once

text;

[puppydogeyes]

Try 1 at a time.
In case they blow up or some shit.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

well that would also get rid of them

text;

[puppydogeyes]

Meant the kind of blow up that would get rid of you too.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

i would say i'd turn into a cockroach but way too soon

text;

[puppydogeyes]

Don't think cockroaches survive acid.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

idk does acid trump nukes?

text;

[puppydogeyes]

More focussed.
Varying strengths.
Can get rid of a body in a couple of hours got the right chemicals.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

...
not so sure i want to try putting acid on it anymore

text;

[puppydogeyes]

Just don't get it on you.
Or anything else.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

definitely not planning on it
