[ on flips the feed showing the face of a somewhat contemplative and obviously tired ariadne. she’s been thinking – well working really – and is now looking for help or well… maybe some input – she doesn't really care. she just figured it is about time she talked about a few things. ]

Before Chase was killed… [ which yeah, still seems to cause her to frown at the thought of ] she was able to draw a map on one of the walls.

I'm not sure if any of you have actually seen it or have talked about it. But Detective Blake was able to get me a copy of it when he was there and I've been looking at it since then.

[ a small nod in thought, her brow furrowing and she is adding with a sigh. ] I've noticed that it's not matching up to any of the other maps that we have – not even the maze.

It actually seems like it might be a partial map to something else.

[ she actually thinks there might be a room in the map, but she still isn't sure about that part and wants to be positive about it before she mentions that part. ]

So I'm wondering…[ and a flicker of hopefulness suddenly appears in her eyes. ] does anyone have any maps that they would be willing to let me look at if I haven't yet?

I really just want to compare them all to the one Chase left us, as well as the ones that I drew up a while back.

[ yep... that's all. ]

You sure you wanna be encouraging these idiots to keep running off into the ship lookin' for shit? The last guy got his arm ripped off. A kid died.

[ that just gets a small look, before she is shrugging. ]

I wasn't really encouraging anyone to go out and look. If they really feel the need to do that, not much is going to stop them.

[thefuckinhalf]

Good point. Idiots are idiots everywhere, I guess.

[cons]

I'm pretty sure you're the only person that bothered to keep up with the maps once people started saying the hallways change or whatever. But I still have a picture of the maze map saved on my communicator, if you don't have a copy of it anymore.

[constructum]

Umm... Yeah. [ oh my god, she can't believe she is about to do this. ] Would you want to come down and help with that part?

[ browquirk ]

I can try, sure.

Does it look similar at all? Like the literal look of it. Like it came from the same source?

How prescient do you think Chase was?

Please understand, I wouldn't typically credit the idea that she was prescient at all. However, it's not wise to completely rule out an ability here simply because it would be a sham where I come from, and some people were able to observe her more closely than I was. She seemed on more than one occasion to be trying to indicate that she had access to special knowledge.

[OOC: Technically on hiatus; I apologize in advance for being very slow.]

[text | private | 100% encrypted] no worries <3

[constructum]

Chase knew things others didn't. It was a gift she had.

I didn't understand it fully, but I knew enough to know she was able to see things others couldn't. So I can't rule out the idea that she knew all of this was coming.

[ryuuzaki]

Then do you think it's feasible that, assuming her map is for a configuration of some area of the ship, it's a configuration that doesn't exist yet?

Of course, the more reasonable explanation is that it's for a past configuration that we aren't aware of.

[theyalldieforme]

You're part of the problem.

[He's joking.]

[constructum]

Whatever... I'm not the one telling people to leave their rooms unlocked.


[ have some joking back ]

[theyalldieforme]

You have to be prepared for the inevitability that your death could result in someone else using your stuff.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

I...don't know that you should necessarily attempt to ascribe meaning to what she left.

[voice]

[constructum]

Why not?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Because it was left in the last moments of her life, shortly after she seemed to have had a mental breakdown. Grief always makes us want to find some larger meaning in what the deceased leave behind, but that does not mean that meaning exists.

[skindeep]

It sounds like important work. But when was the last time you rested?

Video

[constructum]

A little over a year ago - but we are in space after all.

[ a lame joke, but whatever, she would rather not talk about herself if she could help it. ]

Video

[skindeep]

[He gives her a faint smile at that.]

Fair enough. But maybe you should consider taking a break from your maps. Or at least letting someone help you.

[interns]

The last map we received lead us to the science labs, right?

[ it's only half a thought, but she wants to ask first before she digs into it ]

voice;

[constructum]

Yeah. Those are actually the only maps that we have received from the ship.

voice;

[interns]

So maybe that's what this is again. I mean, to a new part of the ship. Which means we just need to find the entrance, probably... near the areas we're usually locked out of.

-- 'We' in the general sense. I'm not sure I'm all that qualified to go exploring.

[andblockbuster]

[God, Ari. You're a genius.]

It might not be a big thing, but even if the hallways change, the places they lead don't. Gwen's right- there's tons of places we don't know about.

[constructum]

[ she tries ]

And you have to think that Chase was leaving that with us for a reason...we just have to figure out what that reason is.

I was thinking about asking Neal if he had come across any other rooms while he did that...whatever it was he did a bit back. [ a long sigh. ] But I don't know...he seems a bit...different lately, so I'm not sure if it is worth it.

[salads]

Can't say mine would be any help, they're scribbles.

[ He needed something to do with his time. And jumping into this conversations seems slightly obligatory, mentioning Chase and all. ]

But I'm also the new guy who gets lost, so...

[constructum]

Scribbles are better than nothing, right?

Have you been out exploring a lot?
