Maybe it's just that I've done a crap job checking in with people since I got back—sorry, still getting my space legs back under me—but I can't shake this feeling like we lose more and more people who were around at the beginning each time the ship jumps. I mean, how many people remember the Cyllene at this point? [ Her voice tightens, like she's trying to sort through a quick tally in her mind. ]

I know some people have been keeping archives and crunching data, but I'm starting to wonder how much information about what's going on here we've already lost. [ Huff. That's a depressing thought. ] Couldn't help noticing how empty the whole place feels while I was patrolling. Or maybe that feeling's because people haven't been migrating downwards with each new jump. Consider this your reminder: SEC only consistently sweeps levels one to ten.

Maybe we just need a census. [She's amused at the thought. Someone going door to door, asking who lives with them, when they arrived and then hand them a giant form to fill out about events they remember.]

Yeah right, can you imagine? Remember the survey Kate did?

I do, but wasn't that a lot more personal information instead of ship information? It might work out better if it's more in person too - not over the very network that the emoji from hell seems to have free range to.

So you're suggesting we put out the call for some kind of rally? Or go door to door.

Door to door seems a bit more reliable.

And time-consuming. Believe me, we do plenty of running around in SEC. It's not easy to sweep this place.

Why would SEC have to do it? Couldn't any group of people do it?

That's not what I'm saying. Just ... that it takes a lot of manpower and a lot of time. It'd take a large group a lot of time; I'm not sure it'd be easy to find enough people to get it done before the jump was out.
