[There are several orders of business, here, and Lisbeth gets right down to them: no greeting, no please, no thank you.]

I want to know how many people have left the ship and then returned. With or without memories of being here before, and how long they were gone. Firsthand accounts or otherwise.

I also want to know how often our brains and bodies are fucked with and whether anyone's unaffected. I know this isn't the first time. [And if you're stupid enough to go blabbing to a stranger about the memories you're experiencing, be her guest, but she's not asking for that.]

I need these items:
- disposable camera
- soldering iron
- copper wire
- electrical tape

Contact me privately and we'll arrange something.

[Why does everybody here use words he doesn't know? Or words he does know in contexts that make no sense? How can tape be electrical? It's impossible to contain lightning in such a fashion. And a disposable camera? That just seems wasteful. If she needs a camera, she's clearly a painter and what painter would throw away their tools like that?]

I have none of these items, but would be willing to help you search for them.

[However weird they are.]

(PERMATEXT)

[eidetics]

[Well, that's almost helpful.]

If no one can provide them then I'll improvise.

[Someone's planning to build a taser.]

Search the network archives for more answers than you'll get here.

I wouldn't try your device on the manticores.

[eidetics]

[That's a bingo.]

I've looked. I want to hear personal accounts.

[And then, after another moment--]

Manticores.

[Watching video and reading about strange creatures is very different from actually encountering one. She's not sure what she believes yet.]

[chuffle]

Don't take pictures of people, whatever you do.

[eidetics]

I'm not planning to.

[wolfchild]

i have everything except the camera

[eidetics]

What do you want for them?

[Not that she has much, but she doesn't like being in anyone's debt.]

I don't know how familiar you are with making tasers, but I can help you if you need it.

(TEXT | 100% ENCRYPTED)

[eidetics]

I am familiar with how to make one. [She's just never had to, before, but some fuckers decided that a can of Coke and a Christmas card would be more useful to her than her taser or gun.]

How difficult is it to get access to weapons on this ship?

[thebreakingwave]

I can either get or get substitutes for the last two and loan you an iron. (It's not mine to give away.)

text;

[eidetics]

I would rather have one to keep.

If the others fall through I will let you know.

[widowing]

i don't know the exact number of people, but speaking personally, i've left and returned with my memories in tact. i also know people who have left and returned without any knowledge of the ship.

Did the ones with memory loss return with the same identification number?

I'm a first-hand account.

Are you another Sherlock Holmes?

[ since he knows there's a lot of them and man but this is reminiscent of the post that introduced him to one. except with a different number. and less txtspk. ]

My name is Wasp.

[True-ish. It's what she always went by online.

Try Sherlock Holmes meets Pippi Longstocking and you've got her fictional influences, actually. Gold star.]

Speaking of it not being the first time....

[HAHAHAHA. He has a theory.

It's not bunnies.]

[eidetics]

Yes?

[Good, because she won't take bunnies or dancing demons seriously.]

How do you know they were different?

[jurisimpudent]

For what purpose do you require those items?

[text]

[eidetics]

That's none of your concern.

[altercate]

Why.

[eidetics]

Because.

[If you don't specify then she won't, either.]

video.

[northerner]

There's a fair number, who have left and returned. But they'll come forth, if they wish to answer your questions.

1/2

[eidetics]

[That voice is uncomfortably familiar--largely because it's been in her head for the better part of the day.

Lisbeth is torn between not wanting to expose herself and wanting to know what he's seen. It's strange seeing his face, stitching those pieces together, but there's no doubt in her mind that this is him.]

[kutte]

This whole place is fucked, there's just different levels of it.

[eidetics]

I'd gathered that.

[rebelled]

I have been returned to my home world four times since my arrival here. The number on my arm changed once since then, but I recall my entire time here.

text;

[eidetics]

Do you know why the number changed?

[jacked]

Could just find them yourself. No arrangements needed

[eidetics]

This is faster.

[eidetics]

Yes. Would have found an alternative if I hadn't.

Were you going to offer?
