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.

What? I'm not-- Noam can't read binary!

[growling]

Thank you.

[maneuver]

[oh shit.]

Don't thank me.

[growling]

So if I were to say "Greek mythology", you'd say...

[ sorry, this conversation makes no sense. he's having about 80 of them and you appear to be the weakest link, buddy. ]

[maneuver]

Old stories?

[His face communicates the rest pretty easily: what the hell are you talking about Josh.]

[growling]

Meaning you're actually familiar with some of them?

[ it's okay, you can stay confused. he's fine with it. ]

[maneuver]

What, you want me to tell you story?

[growling]

I wouldn't say no to one.

[ COMPLETELY SERIOUS. ]

Does that mean Alexandria is taken from Alexander the Great?

[maneuver]

I don't know. It's just Alexandria. Only one I know is the one about the chick that got turned into a tree.

[growling]

Hey, still counts.

[ but why do you have greek myths tho ]

How about Earth, got any stories about it?

[maneuver]

[The face he pulls is somewhere between disgust and confusion.]

Why do you want to hear about that?

[growling]

Because I have relatives from there. Humor me, alright?

[maneuver]

[A very, very long pause.]

What. [A beat.] That's not even funny, that's just stupid.

[growling]

Okay, so pretend I'm stupid. Shouldn't be too hard, right? Why isn't that funny, exactly?

[maneuver]

Earth was... I don't know, a million years ago? I'm not a history teacher, guy. [And then he just trails off into muttering to himself.] This place is so frucking weird.

[growling]

[ oh. that is actually more than he was expecting. he's hoping that's just a vague 'big number' answer. ]

Yeah, I'm getting that. So what are you, exactly? I mean, what do you do on your ship.

[maneuver]

Everything. I'm a vitally important member of the crew.

[Yes Kasey keep telling yourself that.]

[growling]

[ YES keep telling yourself that. josh is going to pity you slightly and also hang up now. ]

[recrash]

He told you to prove it.

[ CAN'T READ BINARY HIS ASS no okay he's got a translator, so sue him. ]

[maneuver]

Prove what?

[Wait let Kasey remember five seconds ago in this same conversation.]

What was the point of that?

[intersection]

Can you? [ ACTUALLY INTERESTED. ]
