video; forward dated to JULY 31

There's somethi▒▓ very wrong with engineering. [ The announcement's accompanied by a convincing visual: a view of one of the lower walkways in engineering, the rails on one side twisted. The ladder up to the next level is warped, too, cut off several feet from the landing it's meant to be attached to. One of the walls just to the right of the camera seems to buckle as the view's turned away.

The shrill sound of metal distorting and grinding wavers in and out, a steady background noise that's broken only by short bursts of static. When the camera turns to face Fitz, the lights flicker and stay dim. Very horror movie chic.

I can't get back to the ▒▒ive or out of the blo▒▓ hallways, and it's— [ He pauses, glancing off screen for a second. There's no clear evidence of what's got his focus, but another low whine of metal makes it easy to assume. ]

Rikku says it's the s▒▓▓ ▒▓ the last time engineering went tits up, but I haven't been able to fi▒▓ her or anyone else since it started. [ A louder crash of noise this time that begs a second of distracted silence, then a curt: ] If you get anywhere near engineering, use ex▓▒▒▒ ▒aution.

[ Then the feed stops. ]

Haven't left. We've had some technical fucking difficulty, but we're still online.

Fitz! You h▒▒▓ to get ev░▒▓▒▓ out!

▓uck. [who knows whether that's profanity or something else we will never know] If you find someone, ░▒▒▒░ with them. You don't want to be alo▓▒ here. You okay so far?

[okay has always been relative on the ship. if he isn't literally on fire he's probably fine, right??] Yeah. Yeah, there's so▒▒░▒ing like. Pushing me into the maze. I do▓▓ know what it is. But I don't like it.

I ▒░n't know. [a beat] Wait. Wha▓ ░f we're being pushed to something that ▒░▒ds fixing?
klutziness: unknown. (live young die free)

[personal profile] klutziness 2015-07-31 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. It wouldn't be the fi▒▒t time. I guess all we can do is ░░░▒.

Have you found any▓▓▓ yet?

[personal profile] klutziness 2015-07-31 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[just because it's challenging doesn't mean it's impossible!!!]

We usually know this place like the b▓▓▒ of our hands. If we find the ▒░░░t spot, one of us should be able to ▒▒ something.
klutziness: homette @ LJ (follow your arrow)

[personal profile] klutziness 2015-07-31 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
You'd think that. But ▓▒▒lly we all just wandered around and sort of st░▒░░ed on to things that needed fixing. Way less heroic than succeeding on some kind of que░░.

[personal profile] klutziness 2015-07-31 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. But ▒▒at we can't do is gi▓▓ up. One of us will find something that s▓▒▓▒ms "fix me" eventually. If we don't, we'll regroup. Somehow.

Fitz? What's going on?! [ A beat. ] Fitz!

[ yeah, guess who's high-tailing it to engineering. ]

[Tadashi only just takes enough time to try to place a call as he begins sprinting in the direction of Engineering -- all it took was hearing that Rikku hadn't been seen for him to be too worried not to help.

His video jumps slightly, but shows his concerned face as he slows down for just a moment.
]

I'm on my way. Is there anything that will help you guys out? I'll bring whatever I can with me.
tadashiwashere: (Scared: can't believe it)

[video]

[personal profile] tadashiwashere 2015-08-01 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Tadashi's expression when his feed cuts back in isn't one for arguments -- he's determined. Whatever is going on, he's clearly planning to help no matter what anyone says.]

I'll be stuck until we can solve this. You guys need more hands in there if things are as bad as you say. I'm nearly there and I have my supply pack with me.

[Nearly means another twenty minutes, but one of the hallways Tadashi chooses along his route doesn't lead to the corridor it should have. Tadashi has just enough time to register surprise before the interference hits in full and his feed fizzles out.]

No.

[An urgent whisper, maybe not even meant to be transmitted at all. But the rest is direct:]

You have to find the drive. He's trying to take it away.
sorrycharles: (listen.)

[personal profile] fugax 2015-08-03 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
The drive chamber door is reinforced. You'll know it when you see it.

[A beat, almost looking like she's listening to something else.]

Or they'll show you the way.

[personal profile] coldhardy 2015-08-02 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'll try to help them find it.

[She sounds determined, or maybe just stubborn.]

I remember where it's supposed to be. That has to be a start.
fugax: (005)

[personal profile] fugax 2015-08-03 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing is where it should be in that place. If you want to be there, you'll find it.
