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.

Re: Iawa thinks she's subtle (paging Sasha)
Date: 2018-03-25 10:28 pm (UTC)But that's probably not what Iawa really wants to know. Fuck.
Sasha messages:
She images and forwards Iawa's messages to Ashari via the Wasp's grid, with the additional note:
Sasha can't stare at the grid until Iawa or Ashari answers; she can barely stand still, as it is. Might as well get back to working on the air filters. Some nice physical climbing over ducts sounds like just the ticket, right now.
[We'll assume that communicating with alien life forms is just that distracting. Feel free to message Sasha back; as long as Ashari doesn't clear her to leave the ship until her current present, I think we're all right.]
Iawa hadn't noticed the Voice Call button yet
Date: 2018-03-26 05:22 am (UTC)Iawa to Sasha:
Casting around for something safe to talk about, she turns to Imsayed again. He's got something on his neck. Wait, is that... "Um, did someone... draw in marker on your neck?"
Clarification re marker drawings
