yhleeYear 361, Month Three, Day Sixteen (Sunday), evening
Station Moongray
On the Station, at The Bar on Level Three: Virmad
[in response to Virmad flirting with Teo in Move 11]
[poetry:] Teo listens attentively as Virmad tells him about Kel Zem Rao's poetry. "That's fascinating," he says. "I admit I've never given much thought to form in literature--I'm afraid Kel Academy only throws enough high language at us in the form of 'how to write a good post battle report' and isn't really high on literary value. I'll have to look up those poems you mentioned sometime."
[slime mold racing:] "If you hang around long enough," Teo says, "I'd be happy to take you to a slime mold race. There are recordings, but, ah, I feel that the sport is best appreciated live. The Nirai who are into it get very into it."
[dramas:] "Excellent!" Teo says. "Whenever you're in the mood"--his mouth quirks in a smile--"we can head on over."
[lleullawgyffes, your call as to whether you want to fade to black at whatever point you deem fitting, or RP Virmad/Teo more explicitly. If the latter, I can start a locked post for the RP. Let me know!]
Mikodez, on Moongray Station, sniffing around for clues
[in response to this thread from Move 11]
The "racing" records are surprisingly well-defended. A little nosing about on some of the local forums and discussion boards suggests it has to do with the breeding of lineages of speedy space slime molds for the local sport of slime mold racing. Apparently some of the slime mold lineages are particularly valuable. Or it could be a cover for something else, who knows? Nirai are weird.
As for his other efforts, Mikodez comes up with some public information on Andan Bokali. Bokali has a rather bland record of service in several different marches. Mikodez's intuition tells him that there's something being hidden from him. Bokali's record is too bland, perfectly in line with what you'd expect for a second-class contact specialist of no particular repute. That seems weird--why would you trust the heptarchate's safety to a middling contact specialist? Does Bokali have extra qualifications only available to those with a higher security clearance?
Year 361, Month Three, Day Sixteen (Sunday), overnight
on the Bumblebee/Wasp/Mothra
Sasha has no trouble cleaning up after herself. She receives a couple halfhearted probes from the wriggly virus trying to worm its way in again, though.
Alaric will need to help Ankat and Kaliyan refit the firing range into a mothling habitat--they can do the construction work, especially with the help of the matter printer [handwave], but they want guidance with the radiation shielding--best not to mess that up. Remi will assist with that for the first part of the night; he seems to have a pretty solid practical background in engineering.
Gerae will be knocking on the door plaintively asking if he can talk to someone, and promising that he will behave. In particular, he wants to know that since he's escaping with the lot of you, can he bring Fluffy with?
Toward 2 a.m. or so, unless something requires his attention, Remi will head back onto the station, avoiding Vana so that she can't corner him.
[If you want to make any other preparations before the escape attempt/confrontation proper on Day 17 in the morning, this is the move to do it.]
Active in Move 11: Sasha, Sulen, Ashari, Iawa, Alaric, Virmad, Mikodez
Continuing inactive: Yehan, Kaliyan, Ankat
