[Sorry everyone I've sorta been gone too and am trying to jump back in. I don't want to interupt Shess so I'm gonna just summarize where Eddox was and bring them up to speed with entering the convo around here.]
Eddox lingers in the ballroom after the toast just long enough to see the exchange of words between who Eddox now knows really is goddamn Jedao and another Shuos named Reshad. The secrecy behind the signs coupled with their urgency flips a switch in Eddox. It's easy enough to hide their understanding of the others' signed conversation as they make their way across the ballroom, feinting need of the restroom. As they turn the corner, they see Sasha and Jedao disappear into another room.
Eddox makes their way to their quarters as quickly as they dare, throws the door open, and snatches up their slate from their luggage. They make a query of the grid. Display transcript of all conversations on the station in the last three hours, chronologically. They throw open another window. Display transcript of all conversations on station within the last ten seconds. They take a few moments to scan as quickly as they can (which is very fast, as they have ample practice) until they find what they are looking for.
They leave their quarters, slate still in hand, spending every second as they walk down the corridor scanning the conversations for more points of interest. It's amazing what people will say even when they know theyre being recorded.
They tuck their slate under their arm and swipe a few more buns off the food table before making a direct line for Remi. Who is surrounded by several others. Including Seyli. Excellent, an in.
Eddox greets Seyli with a warm squeeze to the arm and a gesture that says they do not wish to interrupt the conversation between who the grid says is Shess and Remi. They make gesture to their hearing aid and then the slate to Seyli and anyone else who may be watching in the hopes that their disability will be dismissed and no one will notice they are pouring over every available conversation at once.
Now that they've identified Remi as their primary target, they mine for any other available information. They make a note to find or question Alaric about his translations with the moths as well, but he is not nearly as interesting as a man that can fluster Jedao and cause the team lead to pull him into behind-doors conversation that Eddox cannot access from the grid.
Presently, Eddox makes a decent display of being interested in the workings of chicken husbandry while waiting for a polite pause with which to introduce themself, one arm snaked around Seyli's as they tap around on their slate periodically.
