Move 19 (Chapter 1.19)

(Thanks to [personal profile] zuhrovet for keeping the Station Moongray Timeline on the game wiki updated.)

Year 361, Month Three, Day Seventeen (Monday), ~0550

Just outside of Medical

Sulen has just been abandoned by Mikodez, who has headed into the reception area of Medical. They can hear Fluffy chirruping now that she's finished gobbling down the treats that Mikodez has fed her. Would it be best to go after Mikodez and try to contain the damage, or stand guard outside with the voidcreature? Baby Crowned-With-Eyes is wriggling very alarmingly in the sack and making ridiculously cheerful humming noises--and the spilled coffee still hasn't been cleaned up, and is probably a slipping hazard.

In Medical: antechamber

A triage nurse gives Mikodez a distinctly unfriendly look as he approaches with a caged Fluffy in tow. "You've had enough warnings," he says. "I don't care if you're Andan Bokali's special guests, you're disturbing our legitimate patients." He reaches over to a desk and pushes a red call button marked SECURITY.

In Medical: the actual patient

Istradez is, despite being awfully cavalier about his own condition, smiling reluctantly at Iawa for their solicitousness. Meanwhile, although Alaric has instructed Mikodez to fetch a nurse with float chair and discharge paperwork, he hears the triage nurse shooing Mikodez out. If they want a float chair, they're going to have to wrangle on themselves; it's clear that relying on Mikodez is not...the best idea considering how annoyed Medical is with him.

[Assuming that Alaric has called the "Bumblebee," Ashari (running as NPC) responds via lokwor.]

Ashari sounds very concerned about Istradez's status. "Bad enough to need a float chair? I'll dispatch one of the Kel to prep Medical," they tell Alaric.

on the "Bumblebee": the thieving Rahal

Gerae, taking Virmad's silence as a license to spill all his emotional upsets, will continue babbling about what a stressful year he's had unless Virmad interrupts him. If Virmad doesn't bring up the topic himself, Gerae will add plaintively that he could use some coffee (or stronger stimulant) and that he hasn't had food for a full day and could they get an early breakfast?

on the "Bumblebee": "xeno"mathematics the Cartesian way

The moth ponders Sasha's symbols and graphs for several minutes, then returns a graph with y = log10x, y = x, y = x2, and y = 10x. Its humming has definitely quieted--perhaps the math is distracting it, or is taking more of its concentration.

[It's too bad I don't remember any LaTeX...?!]

Comms to EVERYONE, marching orders from Ashari

Ashari (running as NPC) calls everyone via lokwor, sounding grim, and instructs that they would like everyone to be on the "Bumblebee" and prepared to make a run for it within the hour. This means that Ashari expects Sulen and Virmad to prepare for a (remote) confrontation with the station administrator as per the plan.

"He is fine," Alaric replies, almost starting to throw up his hands and stopping before he jostles the bag, "and will stay that way if we can just get him back to the ship without you causing a scene and getting us all arrested for disturbing the peace in the middle of a hospital ward."

"Oh. Well, I was very concerned," Mikodez says, merry again. Now he can see the absurdity in driving an apostate Rahal on a mission to throttling him. (No fortitude, unlike the instructors at Shuos Academy.) At least they weren't much taller than him. Now if Ashari were here, that...could be bad. He half-lids his eyes to peek at Sulen's lokwor screen from the side, and keeps talking.

"As I said, Bayan provided us with the program, so she must have a way of dealing with it!" Not like he could infuriate her more. "And that's not metal." Mikodez names the material that he normally sees in weapon printers. "This," waving a hand around to indicate the Nirai moth, "Station probably isn't used to it. It looks like something Rii might use in their exhibition anyway."

Andans would only use something with neon green stripes if they wanted to convey something ineffable about toxic mold, not that a foreigner or Nirai would know. The gun should be easy to disassemble again, as it did when he was messing around with it in the visitor quarters.

[Of course his mood doesn't depend on the well-being of mysterious strangers]
