yhlee: Alto clef and whole note (middle C). (hxx clock)

Time: 361 (high calendar)
Place: out-rift near Station Moongray

[GM's note: I know several characters/players are still resolving matters from Move 3. That's fine! You may continue posting to Move 3 to resolve those threads or shift threads over to Move 4 to reflect the changed state of affairs, whichever you feel more comfortable with. Ashari and the rest probably ought to settle the matter of who's going where.]

A few new things happen.

Presumably Sasha has some kind of alert set up on the virus. She notices that it's trying to wriggle its way out into the wider grid, specifically so it can listen in on conversations and send back recordings to its unknown master.

[Since the grid responds to voice address, it's a fair bet that some form of sensors are always active within the Wasp.]

Meanwhile, Kaliyan, who is monitoring Scan from the Wasp's cockpit/command center, gets an alert from the Wasp's automated functions. While the "welcome message" from Station Moongray is still droning on repeat, what looks like the research moth Butterfly Lens is starting to move in the Wasp's direction.

What's more, a basic query of Scan will reveal that a second spacecraft has come out from the Scan shadow of a large nearby planetoid, and is also converging on the Wasp's location. While this second spacecraft isn't making any (more) effort to hide itself, any check on Scan will reveal that, unlike the Butterfly Lens, this second moth has some armaments. It's not a full-fledged warship--and it's almost certainly not Kel, since the Kel avoid traveling alone if they can help it--but it's probably intended for local defense.

[EDITED TO ADD: Sorry, I glitched and forgot]
If Yehan gets a good luck at the second ship on visuals, she'll notice with some surprise that it looks like a ship out of the past--there are markings on it that look Naxorian, but weirdly distorted, like it's from another dialect or related symbology.

Iawa seems sincere, which is odd, but Mikodez makes a note and moves on to his next victim. He politely offers the plate to Ashari, while starting on a less perfect one himself from the bottom layer, careful to only damage the translucent blades. The amount in one spinner snack of whatever active ingredient the nutrient bar held was bound to be far lower than what he’d eaten then, and he hadn’t actually felt any effects over the last few days. But giving Ashari a taste of their own suspiciously heretical comestible was worth six hours of messing with the matter printer, pouring candy, spilling candy and having to chip it off the stove top, stealing coolant from the moth engine to speed things up, and eating the full bowl of leftover honey mixture until he made himself sick.

[oh no, I was trying to come up possible overtures that Mikodez might have made during the transit time. So nothing that Iawa received, probably! But I thought it might be useful next move if Mikodez runs away and Ashari attempted to use the tracker in the bar, only to find a tangle of trails from all the people [like the incoming boarders] who ate one? Mostly this was for the video’s sake.]
