Flight 002

[whatatoolhewas]

Wow, so. In the last month we had evil corridors -- never been so glad to not be able to move real well, let me tell you; first time there's been an upside to being a cripple -- and a mutiny and now we've got little girls talking about putting guys out airlocks.

[he palms his face, sitting back in the cockpit where happily hides from and ignores most people, down here in the shuttle bay]

So -- just as a voice for sanity?

This isn't a military vessel, and even if it wasn't, even on an Alliance military vessel? We don't even space rapists and murderers, let alone lone mutineers. Just sayin'.

Also, last I checked, that Megamind guy was the only engineer on the roster that hadn't been eaten by the grav-couches, which means the little shit might still be useful to us, since the only other one is Resnik. Which sucks, because one of those engineers that's gone was Tali, and she was pretty hot stuff back home, and we could seriously have used her here, man.

Speaking of Resnik, has anyone heard a peep out of our illustrious leaders? Not the ones who are totally trying to organize our lame asses, which is cool and all [hint; his tone indicates this is not cool and he places no faith in you guys, at all-- but thenm Joker always sounds like that, even when he's talking to Shepard], but I mean the ones who actually were here first? Or were those bodies in that mystery room their bodies? That'd be important to know. Anybody give 'em a call, saunter down to the bridge, maybe ask 'em for a cup of sugar? Anything? Nobody?

You suggesting those bodies might be theirs?
I've honestly never seen them, so you're going to have to fill me in on them.

[whatatoolhewas]

With all the weird shit, I'm surprised nobody has told me we're flying out to Sha Ka Ree because God needs a starship, at this point.

[astrogate]

[ Wait. Hold up. Did he say starship? ]

So you know a thing or two about starships I take it?

text;

[whatatoolhewas]

You bet I do. Only the best damn pilot to come out of the Alliance Navy.

[video]

[circumitus]

Those bodies...?

That wouldn't make any damn sense. There wasn't enough time for them to decompose down to their skeletal form like that. It would have taken much longer than the few weeks since we last talked to what you call our "illustrious leaders" for that to be possible.




But I haven't heard either of them speak up in awhile.

[video]

[whatatoolhewas]

Because everything else on this ship makes sense? I mean, magical disappearing corridors? People getting trapped in between space on the ship?

Come on, and ghosts or whatever aren't in the realm of possibility after that?

[video]

[circumitus]

Oh.



Right.

[Filed Under: She sees your point.]

[monkeytailed]

[There is a pause. It is a lengthy one.]

There's actually people who...know what's going on? [He heard someone mention something about, for lack of a better term, locals, but he thought they were kidding.]

voice;

[whatatoolhewas]

Supposedly. Maybe. Right now I bet they know more than they're letting on.

[monkeytailed]

Probably. That's usually how this sort of thing goes. But geez...I was kinda starting to wonder if they were just a joke...you know, what the people who've been here for a while tell the new guys. "If you have questions ask the original crew...if you can find them."

[zooms]

The captain and the chief are still around. I just reckon they must be pretty busy.

[ text ]

[whatatoolhewas]

Too busy to deal with a mutiny? They must be really fucking busy.

[ text ]

[zooms]

Well, between the two of them they do have a hell of a lot to do - but I guess it is kind of hard to explain away.

[ augh Ward you're a hard guy to defend. ]

Although it wasn't really much of a mutiny when you think about it.

[cutsofftheirlimbs]

Just because the grav couches ate all the on-listed engineers doesn't mean there aren't still engineers.

If those bodies were our leaders, we've got bigger problems, like how exactly someone's skeleton can be stripped that quick.

[whatatoolhewas]

Yeah, that's-- pretty scary.

Man, are the lists even being updated anymore? I don't know-- So many people come and go, talk about list this and list that, and Ward and Resnik aren't around.

[cutsofftheirlimbs]

My point exactly.

If they are, I haven't heard of it. But with so many people in and out, I don't doubt that they're out of date.

Regardless, if we need someone other than Megamind to work the engineering department, well. I've kept a ship this size running solo before. Wasn't easy, but I've got experience.

voice;

[jilt]

Well, this ship certainly doesn't lack for excitement.

voice;

[whatatoolhewas]

Ma'am, [she sounds like a ma'am; not like Shepard, but still.] it's in my experience that there is no ship that lacks for excitement, let alone possibly possessed ships that have corridors that vanish and rooms that send you messages.

This ship is the very definition of excitement.

voice;

[jilt]

Hazardous excitement. I'd imagine there have been quite a few injuries in all the fuss.

/meant to do this earlier, orz

[anomaliiiiies]

I sent them a message just prior to the last jump, and didn't get a ping or anything.

[whatatoolhewas]

Well, that's great. Must be real busy, alright.

[anomaliiiiies]

Or dead, like you suggested. That is a possibility.

[heltersskelter]

they're here because they stuck someone in the brig.

text

[whatatoolhewas]

So they can stick someone -- not our mutineer? -- in the brig but they can't even answer messages sent and shit? Priorities, man.

i'm just telling you what i saw
