Move 15 (Chapter 1.15)
Year 361, Month Three, Day Sixteen (Sunday), evening
[I'm trying desperately to get Mikodez caught up, I promise! If the rest of y'all want to take a bit of a break, that's fine--or if you want to settle logistics, that's fine too. So sorry...]
Mikodez and Istradez [NPC] on Moongray Station, plus HATCHED EGG, ca. 20:50
[continuing from this comment by

"I have no idea what would happen if you fouled up the stock market," Istradez says. His eyes are starting to look glassy. "And I'm just as married to the fucking job as you are." He gives forth a sigh and appears to be dropping into semi-slumber when Mikodez's last words penetrate. "We need you as hexarch. Just...maybe less of a psychopathic one? But you don't know about that 'training incident,' either..."
Hmm. Istradez's pulse is becoming too slow for comfort. Better do something about that.
Year 361, Month Three, Day Seventeen, ass o' clock Monday
on the Bumblebee/Wasp/Monthra
around 1:00, in the hold of the Wasp
Remi and Alaric have made excellent progress on the conversion of the "Bumblebee"'s hold space into a mothling habitat. Remi has lapsed into a brooding silence, considering Alaric's revelations about what life is like outside of the heptarchate. At this point, however, the moth starts to hum again. It doesn't seem to want to shut up, but at least its humming is quieter--maybe the station hasn't noticed.
Remi looks interested. "Your moth is very talkative--is that usual?" His expression turns sad. "They never talked much in captivity with us. I suppose it's understandable."
around Monday 2:50
Gerae asks Ashari and Sasha, "Should I go back into my room now? I promise I'll stay out of the way. And you have all my lockpicks, so it's not like I can finagle my way out." He glances sidelong at Virmad and Sulen, then adds, "Fluffy especially likes cookies, but she shouldn't have too many of them. She also likes honey-dipped locusts, if you can get any. Some of the food vendors on the station carry them sometimes, but I have to request them special, and they confiscated my supply."
NOTE: For anyone who is not otherwise occupied, it would be a great time to get some rest, or alternately, ask Iawa for stims in anticipation of the morning's activities.

[Out of character, I'm hoping that sending someone to guest quarters will also result in some much-needed medical attention for Istradez.]
Re: 02:60, back in comms: tree diagram of potential disasters
Timeline question: Fluffy acquisition and feeding took until...say 02:00 to 03:00. Since it's 2:60 during the call, if action gets taken a few minutes later, do you want to call Mikodez back to the Wasp for a reprimand/murder? (He's there at the bubble tea stand at 4:30, looking glum, and I thought earlier that he might be there as instructed to intercept whomever, but since he knows that Remi has made contact with the Wasp already, I'm not sure how to match it up with whatever happens next.)]
Re: 02:60, back in comms: tree diagram of potential disasters
[Sasha's not letting Mishka off the Wasp again before departure. She might not let him out of his room until he solves a bunch of remedial grid-security problems. So unless Mikodez has a brilliant way to persuade Ashari to countermand Sasha, evading pursuit for a couple of hours is probably a better way to keep the timeline straight. Maybe he's hoping to ask Remi for advice on the care and feeding of mothlings?]
