Stasis fluid search update
[ The video feed begins on a room bathed in Christmas lights. Or at least in lights that are red and green; certainly there's no holiday cheer of any sort involved. It's not the steadiest feed, but it moves slowly as it sweeps across the space. A flashlight beam follows it, illuminating large tanks full of fluid. The color is difficult to make out, brown beneath the color filters of the lights. ]
This is Kate Bishop and the search team. [ Her voice is recognizable despite its hoarseness, and she speaks at a normal volume, no whispering. There are other voices in the background, and shadows shift as other people (members of the team, one hopes) move around the space. ] We believe we've found the source of the stasis fluid. It's a room sealed to Medical access at the end of a long corridor of supply closets leading away from the Medbay toward the center of the ship. The doors we've checked have been marked with red paint and should lead the way. [ You know, just in case they for some reason don't make it back. You never know around here. ] You'll know them when you see them because every one Sirius checked is marked with a dick.
ANYWAY as you can see, there are tanks. That fluid is blue, it looks like stasis fluid, the light's just weird in here. You can't see from here but there are pipes that lead toward the Medbay. More importantly [ She moves forward here, toward a bank of control consoles, and the light follows and sweeps across them. She names them in turn. ] Oxygen Management, Gravcouch Management, Nanite Management. We can access the system but it won't let us make any changes. What we can do is take the tubes of nanite fluid physically out of the system, but when we started to do that we got a bunch of errors. I think if we take them out the couches just won't fill at all at the jump. So we need to have a plan if we're doing that. Maybe bringing shit here is a better idea? I don't know how things're going in Medical, you'll have to let us know asap.
Anywa-- what? [ Another voice in the background has the video wheeling as Kate turns, and there's a queasy moment of dipping and spinning before she gets it focused again. In the frame now is a small cannister of the sort used in the Science Department. It is sitting on the floor next to the console. It is uncapped.Someone's finger Hook's hook points at it. ] We just found this next to the Nanite Management station. We'll get it back for testing since it's pretty damn suspicious.

So say you take out the nanite tube. How do we know it's going to help? [ after a second, she elaborates a little. ] I mean, all of this - [ a hand lifts into view to gesture up and down her face and neck. the lighting's not great where raven's at, so this may be the first time you notice the increasingly-translucent skin down the side of her face and neck, not to mention the sick sheen of sweat at her temples and dampening her hair. ] - is from the nanites we've already got.
[ she's got an idea, but only if disconnecting the nanite tube's really going to help anything. ]
voice, still kate's id;
[Since nearly everyone's tempers are bristling right now, surely Raven can forgive this guy's petulance. The hoarseness of his voice suggests he's in the throes of nanite affliction, too.
(Sorry about your personal space, Kate. You can have your arm back in a second.)]

[ but after a second, she exhales a rough sigh. then, grudgingly: ] If you disconnect the nanites, I could probably find a way to fill the pods manually. But it'll be slow, and I can't promise they'll open up on the other side. [ not to mention it'll leave at least one person left with no sure way to fill their own pod. it's not ideal, but raven's a veteran in the field of scraping by on the less-than-ideal. ]

--the fuck, Loki? Get off of me. Get your own damn comm, asshole!
no subject
[The way Loki snaps this, it sounds almost like profanity. Clearly this mission has forged a mighty fellowship among them! But he's released Kate's arm, at least, and now his voice is receding:]
You—over there. Don't touch that, you've no idea what you're doing. Let me see it...
no subject
I don't think we want to get rid of all the nanites. [ This more clear, spoken deliberately into the microphone. ] Just the bad ones, otherwise we won't be able to open doors or anything. And so far we don't know which tube is which. We're working on getting into the management system, hopefully it can tell us more.

[ Whatever it is, Loki is definitely right that Darcy has no idea what she's doing. ]

[ It sounds like she's covered the mic because there's very faint noise like muffled, almost-muted voices. ]
It's definitely all contaminated, Natasi just confirmed and is posting the data. [ See below! ]

The system's locked up tighter than Fort Knox, though. We can see its current status, but none of us have the authorization to make changes from here.
