Move 13 (Chapter 1.13)

Year 361, Month Three, Day Sixteen (Sunday), evening
Station Moongray

Mikodez, on Moongray Station, pondering an egg

[Follow-up to this thread.]

It's easy enough for Mikodez to switch the motion detector off; it's not really designed for security use, so the researchers in the lab have it set up so it's easy to take offline for maintenance, etc. (It's highly doubtful they figured the egg would know how to hit the off switch.)

There is no one snoring under the desk, but there is a small file box containing a few paper notebooks, the old-fashioned kind. The game's soothing purring continues.

If Mikodez wants to set up the matter printer for a fake egg and one or two guns, that's easy enough. It might take some extra time to make sure the egg doesn't come out attractively plaid, though.




Year 361, Month Three, Day Sixteen (Sunday), overnight

on the Bumblebee/Wasp/Mothra

After Sasha and Ashari's fight/cultural misunderstanding, and Ashari and Sulen clean up afterward, Gerae's distress becomes increasingly evident. He's pounding on the door of the room that Sulen deposited him in, crying in an increasingly hoarse voice that he refuses to leave without Fluffy.

[[personal profile] lleullawgyffes, it's up to you whether Virmad pays any attention to Sasha's presumed discreet lokwor message and returns in time to help talk to Gerae, or whether Virmad decides to ignore it in favor of continued shenanigans with Teo.]

Sasha appears to be in good health; Iawa might or might not want to write this up formally for Ashari or Ashari's superiors, depending on their assessment of Ashari's mood. [Iawa is the de facto medic as far as I can tell!]

Remi is asking Alaric if it would be difficult to set up a radio to soothe the mothlings into docility, which is less invasive than sedating them.

Meanwhile, Mothra is making rumbly noises again. It sends another Space ASCII diagram, this time of mothlings playing hide and seek.

does Iawa give lessons in sinking into the floor?

Sasha takes the stimulant with a sip of lukewarm tea, and pockets the other pills for later. She's surprised by the heresy police line, but it makes sense that Iawa wouldn't have joined this mission without some sort of prior training.

"I don't think our printer is food-safe. I certainly wouldn't trust any of the dyes. Are food-grade printers common, in your time? Maybe if I ever get a proper equipment budget we can get one-- that sounds really interesting."

"Wait." The implications of the rest of Iawa's comments are sinking in. "Ashari and I-- we don't do anything in private-- I'm not Imsayed."1

Sasha can feel the blush splotching all the way down to the bottoms of her feet. This is awful. It's worse than the time her high-language conversation partner asked how many parents she had.2 "Iawa, is everyone going to think Ashari and I are . . . involved? How do I make it stop?"

[1 If only Ashari were getting all the action attributed to them, they would be much more relaxed!

2 Yelling "My parents were legally married when I was born!" and rushing out of the teashop is not considered appropriate either in the heptarchate or on Naxarat.

As for the tablet, we'll just chalk Sasha's earlier question up to a vain attempt to turn the subject away from heresies.]
