hexarchate_rpgAs the meeting ends, the team members move to their assigned tasks.
Dar, Deyna, Seyli and Sulen collect some heavy-duty servitors and begin transferring supplies to the Cantata.
Alaric, Reshad, Shess, and the Cantata's drone prepare to remove the harness from Ankat's moth, The Sedulous Eel.
Back on the Cantata, Sasha goes to her office and starts remotely wiping memory nodes on the base's grid. Jedao is in the Communications/Gunnery room, controlling the weapons. Xiulan acts as his backup. Remi has been instructed to look for patterns or causes of the missing interstellar signals.
Meanwhile, Hana and Eddox look after the mothlings, perhaps joined by Mafyyil, who for some reason has not received clear instructions. Gerae and Ione divide their attention between the mothlings and the nest of pseudo-dragons.
[Welcome to a new move!
I know that things are stressful and uncertain for all of us right now. Please don't fret if you suddenly find yourself with less or more free time than usual--we will adjust! If you would like to give your character a node of peace where they drink tea and admire baby aliens for the next while, this can be arranged. Conversely, if you want a plotty distraction, we will bring you one!
My own focus is unreliable of late, but I'll work on a recap of the previous move as I can.]

Re: On the Cantata (Paging Jedao) (paging Sasha)

“Xiulan on the Cantata. No emergency, yet. We’re on watch to respond to any hostiles while evacuation is underway. Sasha wanted you to have fire control for all moths when we’re in contact. Are you in a position to coordinate right now or are we running solo?”
In some back corner of her mind, she muses on language and jargon and gulfs of differences. It is a papercut, added to an inventory of such that has built in the years since a fateful day at Star’s End. She puts it aside with the others and doesn’t think about why that isn’t a good long term plan. It’s what there is.

Looking to Jedao and thinking back to the party, she concludes with, “Cantata out” rather than elaborate on precisely who is in Gunnery at the moment.
“Wasn’t sure you’d met Kaliyan yet.” So saying, Xiulan resumes watching what he’s doing with interest, asking a question here and there. If she’s somehow bothered by the tangle of considerations Jedao’s presence continues to raise amidst the crew, there is no sign of it.
