Welcome aboard to our new friends. Please pretend you can't see any of this.

Working on a cheat sheet of information for anyone too lazy to stalk other people's conversations. Two heads, etc. Feel free to pitch in, I'm sure a lot of you are better at stalking than I am.

Tranquility - government vessel, missing? Tech damaged.
Alexandrian - time period? Roughly 40 years prior to whenever now is.
Demologos - type of ship we're on, warship (w/Bram Stoker inspired modifications).
Ship name - Scylla (sp?).
Planets: Alexandria (wealthy), Hyperion (machines), Pasiphae (food), Sycorax, Ceres. Jiutian - possibly space station?

Crew names/count so far on the network (sp?? on all of these, but who cares):
Felix Laurens - Captain
~~Casey~~ Kassandros aka Kasey with a K - ~~Tech? laughs at our encryptions~~ Probably not tech. Scared of water and girls. Not tech.
Hays/Hayes - Chatty Cathy. Mechanic? Probably looting tech.
Fields - Gun guy. Full of crap.
"Trixie" - ?? Name provided by Fields, accuracy suspect. Probably Juliana.
Noam - actually tech?
3x 2x (male) mystery guests

They already think we're amnesiac idiot thieves/squatters, so don't worry, there's no such thing as a stupid question. Or a reputation to uphold, pretty sure any efforts at negotiation were null out of the gate.

They can read everything, don't drop too much info on us if possible. If in doubt, try to meet with each other in person to discuss instead. In a perfect world this post is here to disseminate info on them, not us.

Disclaimer: They already know we're clueless as to our how/when/where/why (or really good at pretending to be clueless), so if you're going to yell at me for making that even more obvious, I'm only mildly sorry.

~~p.s. dear Casey, is the anonymous function in the useless camp too?~~ Anon irrelevant.

You're ransacking our ship. You honestly think we won't try to stop you?

[ he's over the lawyer jokes. sorry, fields. ]

Yours? Look, I get it. We're taking what you already took and that pisses you off. But you are sitting on a goddamn goldmine and that's not even talking the basic shit we just need to keep moving.

You take care of your people? I got people too, and I'm not gonna cry if I have to do the ugly parts of my job to protect them from you.

You don't get shit. If we had somewhere else to go we'd give you the damn thing, but we aren't going to let you rob us blind. If you take something we need, it's a problem.

No, you know what's a problem? A problem is what happens if Scylla runs out of food. You got a garden. You got tech you don't even--

I'd still like to be your friend, but this bullshit about morals when you're not even the owners of this flying migraine is starting to wear on me.

Why didn't you just trade for it? We don't know what we have, we're easy marks. We probably would've given you what you needed in exchange for information.

And would you quit with the playground logic? The original crew is dead or worse and the ship brought us here. If anyone has a claim to it, we do.

You quit with the ghost stories. It's a ship, not a magnet. You're making it hard for me to keep everybody safe, Levinson.

There is no safe on this ship. You really don't think it's strange that none of us know where the hell we are or think Alexandria is a city on an apparently dead planet?

Even if it's not haunted, it's obviously driven us all batshit insane. It's not the goldmine you think it is.

Haunted. You expect me to be afraid of a haunted ship?

I don't expect you to do anything. But if you want to survive this thing, you should quit underestimating us.

You have no idea what you've walked into.

[ he's not sure if 'us' means the passengers or the ship, honestly. he'll feel gross about that lack of distinction later. ]

You people. You got a lot to say about how we're the bad guys, but the way I see it we're not the ones forcing this.

I don't think you're the bad guys. I think you're idiots, but you're just doing what you need to do to survive.

I'm trying to tell you this isn't it.

It looks like it to me.

And no offense and all, but you know you sound crazy, right? Help me out here.

Trust me, this isn't half as crazy as I could be sounding.

One of your crew mates said this ship was modified. Was he just talking about the decorating?

I'm not from anywhere they have ships like this and they don't let me touch the computers-- I break 'em.

[ the last part isn't quite true, but if people think he's a grunt he's more than happy to play it up. ]

I wouldn't be the one to ask.

Right. Hayes?

[ whom he's made such good friends with. that may have been a tactical error. ]

Nah, Kasey's the history buff.

[ he's really not. ]

And Hayes isn't gonna chat you up about that-- she knows better.

[ it makes more sense than tech, but he's starting to wonder why he's bothering asking you anything. ]

Us knowing more about the modifications wouldn't mean any skin off your backs. We just want to figure out how to turn them off.

Or you want to get your hands on our pocket ace. No, thank you.

Right, fine, I get it. No more technical questions.

Smart man, Josh. That's what I like to hear.
