Move 16 (Chapter 1.16)
Year 361, Month Three, Day Seventeen (Monday), ~04:00-04:50
Assumptions, just to get everyone more or less on the same time track again:
- Mikodez ignored messages from the other PCs for a couple hours while he collected a DNA sample from unconscious!Istradez, screwed around with his gun, and entertained baby Crowned-with-Eyes the mothling and Fluffy the Vraselian pseudo-dragon. The notebooks that Mikodez abstracted from Remi's lab appear to be a Space Bullet Journal about life on a war-torn technologically backwards planet. [The heptarchate is evil, but as long as you're not a heretic, the standard of living is actually quite high, with good social/medical services &c.]
Also, at some point Mikodez will have noticed that someone (Sasha) has cut off his access from the lokwor into the station grid.
At 4:50, Mikodez runs into Vana looking for Remi at the bubble tea shop. We can pick up from there. As perzuhrovet's suggestion, I advise that Mikodez is looking for Remi in order to get much-needed information on mothling care, although it may occur to him that he can possibly wheedle that info out of Vana as well.
- After the meeting between Sasha, Sulen, Virmad, and Ashari:
I presume that Sulen has either gone off to practice with the airgun in the interim (or lied to Sasha that they were going to, to get her off their back; your choice!). How good is Sulen with firearms? Ankat (running as NPC) will volunteer to show Sulen the basics, largely out of Kel paranoia that someone is going to screw up Gun 101.
Around 4:00, Teo has messaged Virmad saying that a Safety worker has discovered Istradez (running as NPC) in one of the guest rooms. He says that Istradez has been given first aid but do they want to send someone from the Bumblebee to retrieve him, or will they authorize sending Istradez to Station Medical? If Vass wants, they could go to Istradez and perhaps supervise any additional care that the medics give him.
Sasha will have overheard this presumably. In the intervening hours, it appears that the owner of the wriggly virus suspects that it has been detected. It has gone quiescent and/or deleted most traces of itself, presumably in the hopes of lying low until Sasha's suspicions die down.
Kaliyan (running as NPC) shows up in the newly made mothling bay to inform Alaric that she thinks that the modifications to the ship have screwed up something in life support--not critical now while they're docked at a space station, but kind a problem later.
Ashari, investigating Gerae's lockpicks more closely in some spare moment (maybe because they're having trouble sleeping?), discovers that some of them include hidden poison needle units. This isn't just a matter of a hobby of picking pockets, Gerae was prepared for Serious Business.
NOTE: If inactive players wish to return to active status, message me or leave a comment or email me (yoon at yoonhalee dot com), and we'll work something out.

paging Sasha: Kaliyan is concerned
Kaliyan comes to find Sasha, yawning hugely; there are dark smudges under her eyes and she looks like she's nursing the remnants of a headache. "Say, could we have a word?" she says. "It looks like the modifications made to the ship to house the squiggly moth creatures have also fucked up something in life support. I tried telling Alaric about it, but I'm not sure he's taking me seriously. You're the next closest thing to an engineer, do you have any idea how to troubleshoot?"
Re: paging Sasha: Kaliyan is concerned
"How badly is it fucked?" Sasha asks. "Which readouts should I be looking at? Do I have half an hour to finish this project for the Rahal, or do I need to do something right away?"
Re: paging Sasha: Kaliyan is concerned
Re: paging Sasha: Kaliyan is concerned
Sasha looks at Kaliyan, who, according to her observations, ordinarily wakes up after 7.9 hours of sleep and hits the gym round about this time in the morning, and doesn't seem to be taking the change in schedule well. "I think the Rahal weren't planning to move before about 08:00. You should have some time to rest. I can show you how to set conditional wakeup alarms in the grid, if you want."
[Junior Mining Engineers: the backstory that keeps on giving!]
Re: paging Sasha: Kaliyan is concerned
[I feel like Junior Mining Engineers is like FIRST + Girl Scouts ON STEROIDS.
(I have no affiliation with either, but I think Joe had something to do with FIRST when he was growing up.)]
