Move 17 (Chapter 1.17)

[yhlee]

Year 361, Month Three, Day Seventeen (Monday), ~05:00

Mikodez finds himself treed by Alaric (bearing "sleep aids") in the corridor outside Medical. In whatever confrontation happens, the much-adorned mothling known (among other things) as Crowned-with-Eyes (henceforth CWE) wriggles free of the Andan cloth and flutters straight into one of the nearest examination rooms, humming joyously. Several medics can be heard exclaiming in fear and/or annoyance at the intruder. One of them squeaks, "Is that another of Magistrate Gerae's pets?"

(...pets?)

Alaric, EDIT: Iawa, and Sulen can take advantage of the distraction to get by Mikodez and into Medical. The triage nurse will recognize them as the recent visitors and direct them toward a pallet where "Imsayed" (Istradez) is lying; he is apparently now sleeping rather than knocked out, but has yet to wake from his ordeal.

Sasha is in the midst of oxygen recycler diagnostics and reading through the maintenance logs. Around this time, Yehan (running as NPC), who has actually gotten some sleep, stops in and asks if Sasha could use some breakfast and/or assistance.

Ashari is enjoying a restful sleep in preparation for what's to come. They can, if they choose to get up early, check in on the others, or determine what to do with Gerae of the mysteriously weaponizable lockpicks. [NOTE: If smokedetective doesn't respond to this move, I'm going to put Ashari on inactive status and run as NPC as necessary to move forward.] Virmad is a likely candidate to either volunteer or be asked to look in on Gerae. Among other things, Gerae is still awake and is (if anyone checks on him, whether through camera surveillance or by persuading Sasha to open the room) scratching messages onto the wall with a stylus that was left in the room.

CURRENTLY INACTIVE, running as NPCs: Ankat, Kaliyan, Yehan, Istradez

Comments

about the Rosemallow...

[zuhrovet]

"Thanks, but I just had a ration bar," Sasha tells Yehan. "What do I need to know about the Rosemallow crew list?"

Iawa

[vass]

[I thought Iawa was going to the station with Sulen and Alaric?]

[pengwern]

The Wasp crew will find Mikodez studying the wall panels outside of Medical, having been rebuffed by sensible medics who claimed a cheeping Vraselian psuedo-dragon would not improve the decor. If only they had taken longer to arrive. (Mikodez would have been somewhere inside the ducts, cage and all.) Good thing they're here to relieve him of Fluffy.

[really important questions left over from move 15: What happens when you add a mothling to a wire cage containing a well-fed Vraselian psuedo-dragon? Do they fight? Does the well fed psuedo-dragon attempt to nibble on the mothling, and is it able to mimic the mothling's humming (to its confusion? or would that be delight), and will a light sprinkle of glitter adhere to those insubstantial fronds? What about googly eye stickers/pins?
Also, is Mikodez covered in scratches from trying to get little paper hats to stay on Fluffy.]

OT: Ashari

[venndaai]

[I talked to smokedetective and they'd like to be put on inactive and are fine with Ashari being run as an npc.]

Medical

[vass]

Iawa thanks the nurse and heads over to Avrayan. Yep, he's asleep. And there seem to be monitors on him. If his attacker comes back, someone will see, and unless the entire hospital's in on it (unlikely, presumably) he probably doesn't need a bodyguard here.

His vital signs look okay, she... guesses. Iawa's very aware of her limitations as a medic. But she can read a chart. [Is there a chart she can read? If not, she'll quickly flag down a doctor to grill before doubling back to sneak up and eavesdrop on Sulen and Alaric and Mishka.]

MEMO: checking on Gerae [paging Ashari; CC: Sulen, Sasha]

[lleullawgyffes]

Virmad takes a moment to compose what he thinks is a good, neutral message to Ashari, CCing Sulen and Sasha.

I think it would be wise if someone were to check on our wayward magistrate guest; I would be happy to volunteer for the task.
