[ The view is of a casually seated man, the comm filming him from a skewed angle on his desk. He never takes much care about how he records these things on the network.

He'd tried to ignore it, and he knew speaking up might not lead to anything—for all he knew everyone on the ship was going to have him singled out as a crazy man after he made this post. But he wasn't one to stay quiet, not over something like this. Not after the last couple of months. ]

Okay, this might sound weird, but well, you know. Not like this is the most normal place, or anything. You know how we all went through some of the same stuff for the last couple of months? Insomnia, and all that? Well, now I'm getting flashes—not dreams, 'cause I'm awake, and they're kind of too real...almost like... Well, it's hard to explain, okay.

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed something like that.

Trippy as hell, huh? I have to tell you, it's not that I'm glad you're going through something like this, but thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.

[You think this is trippy? York's little world, this spaceship, has no real concept of what trippy is. At least York has some grasp of reality left right? Dave's lost his grasp on it a long time ago.]

You're not the only one. That's how it works here. We're put in clusters and then depending on what group you're put in, fucked with according to the specifics.

[At least, that's how Dave sees things. It's not like he has some insight on the rules or anything.]

Oh, yeah, I'm familiar with the way this place fucks with you. But...you know, you're the second person who's implied this whole thing has to do with running experiments on us. I don't know why I didn't see that before, but it makes a lot of sense.

I never said that, but maybe. Or maybe we're just toys being played with in this worldgame until we break apart piece by piece.

[logicunlocked]

Yeah...that's kind of what I'd started to assume. And when it's your turn to be broken, watch out; fucking watch out, because they don't play games.

[soyed]

No, all they play are games.

Well, I'm not having very much fun. Guess the chess pieces don't though.

[soyed]

Just the pawns.

[The only pieces on this chessboard are the pawns.]

Re: video

Pawns. Heh, well...I don't like that feeling. Not at all.

If you find the Captain maybe he'll upgrade you to knight.

[That's doubtful, being as how the King, Queen, Bishop, whoever, probably aren't here. Well, in the physical sense.]

[logicunlocked]

I think if I found the Captain I'd get a lot better prize than that. For all we know he's dead.

[soyed]

Being dead isn't stopping him.

[logicunlocked]

I don't even want to think about that. Man, you have a way of pointing out the creepiest possibilities, and that's saying something around here.

[soyed]

It's kind of hard not to think about those possibilities when anything can pretty much happen here.

[logicunlocked]

You've spent more time on it than I have, I think.

[soyed]

Yeah, I have. Try a year.

[logicunlocked]

Heh, well, I spent most of my year here trying to ignore that stuff. It's just been pounding it into my head more lately.

[soyed]

We've all been trying to ignore those things. That's kind of impossible to do though.

[logicunlocked]

In my experience, the harder you try the harder it gets. By design. It's almost like this ship...or I should say, whoever's in charge...has been targeting me directly.

[soyed]

More like its picked a handful of people to target. Sorry but your the only one who gets a dose of someone else's crazy. It's been spreading around.

[logicunlocked]

Oh, yeah, I wasn't under the impression I was the only one. We all got to take our turn though, doesn't it seem like?
