  • Poor Ezekiel. So desperate for approval he thinks a drokking bagel is a sign of love. "If you mix it with blue paste, it's not bad," I say to Gen Yu. "It's weird, it doesn’t mix into green paste. Just goes yellow and blue stripy. Tastes pretty nic…
  • It's been so long since I saw a bagel it actually takes me a while to recall the name for it. I don't think I like bagels, but I can't remember for sure. Maybe I would now. It makes me think of family breakfasts, the smell of coffee and rugbrød. …
  • Well, I wouldn't want to be rude. I sit down next to Gen Yu. About a second later I realise I ought to have sat with Nadja but, eh. Whatever. I wrote a message for Tabitha on the way here, didn't send it yet. I do now. To: Tabitha Smith Hey,…
  • If it was a power play, Pax would be the one performing it; bound hands or not, I don't feel like I am the one in control, if either of us is. A last fling is about right. Intensely carefree - laughter and hunger. She has the air of one headed for a…
  • I did not choose "you keep your cool" on the Hold Steady result, so yes.
  • The voice is a mixed blessing. I would be happy to swap with her. Turn Someone On: (Rolled: 2d6+2. Rolls: 6, 2. Total: 10)
  • ""Nothing like that," I say and lift her, one arm under her thighs, over to her bunk, and sit us both down on it so that she's on my lap. "It lets the AAU talk to me." I push Pax's shirt up a little and put my hands on her sides. The warmth of her …
  • I put my arms around Pax's waist. I can feel something, a row of metal circles on one side of her body. I bend my neck a little to meet her kiss halfway, and trace around the discs, through the fabric of her shirts, with my fingertips. "I knew you …
  • Hold Steady question: Is there anything I can do/say to convince Pax I'm (broadly speaking) on her side?
  • I walk over to Pax, hands by my sides, until her upheld hands are leaning on my chest. "I hope this is because you think you're hot," I say, "more than because you think I'm stupid." Hope springs eternal, I guess. Hold Steady: The worst thing…
  • Looks like she wants to make it a little bit of a show when she leaves. Hands tied instead of just accompanying the corp. Fine. First, I lock the door. Then I pull a zip tie from my belt and bind Pax's wrists together. I walk behind her, grab the …
  • I look around the room, try to see if anything is different. If I were her I would have taken the time to contact someone and maybe hide a few things. "Okay, you want to just come with me or do you want to make it look.... more heroic?" I gesture …
  • I cross the hall to the store room and potter around for a few minutes, read some stuff on the Feed.
  • "What part of using Pris to threaten me seems like a good idea right now?" I stand and head to the door. "I'll be back in ten minutes. If you're here then, I don't want to take you in but..." I shrug.
  • "Hah, well." My chuckle is kind of surprised, embarrassed. "That would be ideal. But. They're gonna try to pin Pris's disappearance on you. I'm supposed to bring you in after this little talk. And I can't really cover for you, because--" Because I…
  • I sit down on Zola's bed, leaning my elbows on my knees. "Well, the plan has changed since what happened at the med bay," I tell her. "What I was going to do was catch up with you, confirm if you're in Red Five, maybe get frisky in the showers if …
  • I nod, thanking him. It sounds believable, consistent with what little I do know about the voice I've been hearing. And it's not the weirdest thing around here by any stretch. The voice said something about Ourania putting a "hex" on me, for one. T…
  • I nod acknowledgement and almost click my heels together. I turn to leave and pause as I near the door. I look over my shoulder at Tek. I don't think he'll tell me but I have to ask: "Do you know who he is?"
  • Eff's refreshingly simple attitude to life might not be the best thing to bring along. Even if I didn't have some things in mind to add to Tek's plan. "Not necessary. Besides, Pax would clam up in front of Eff. There's a small chance I can get her…
  • I nod. I follow. "I got seen, on the way. But I don't think any of them would make a point of going higher up the ladder. They might report it to you, I guess." I better take a different route back to my pod. "I'm supposed to be meeting Pax pre…
  • There is no ringing in my ears. I suspected that there would not be. I do love Pris; I always did, even when I couldn't feel it. I'm not foolish enough to believe that she loves me back, no matter what I might wish that final word of hers would have…
  • Rats. I hoped Pris wouldn't wake up until she was already in iso. Not fun, but surely not much worse than medical VR. I bolt over to the cube and lean down close to her. "Pris. It's OK. We're hiding you in iso for a while. So they can't..." Ther…
  • I place Pris into the cube as gently as I can. Her hair falls over her face, and I brush it back from her mouth and nose. I stand back. She looks so fragile. The med bay gown makes her look thinner, I think. She always looked delicate but never fra…
  • So. It looks like Tek is in on it. Another agent of... unless he is the voice. I think back and try to remember if it ever spoke to me while he was around. I don't think it did. But you could say that about most people on the ship. And if Tek knew t…
  • I cause a big scene. (Chaos, you know.)
  • Run Away: Volatile 2 (Rolled: 2d6+2. Rolls: 3, 3. Total: 8) +1 xp
  • I turn around to talk to Tabitha. "I have to get her away from here. She's a test subject, for the plague. And they're going to kill her to make a cure." I think about asking Tabitha to come with me. She is bleeding pretty badly though. "You'd bet…
  • This does not look good. I open my mouth to ask what's happened. It occurs to me that their trackers coming in through the door will have alerted Doctor Lancome. She could be back any second. "Uh. Tabitha, you're bleeding," I say. "I have to go. D…
  • I bend down and lift Pris into my arms, supporting her head with one shoulder. She smells faintly of disinfectant and ozone. I check Pris isn't plugged into anything in the tube, sensors or anything like that. Then I carry her towards the door. I…
  • I cringe a little at the reminder of that first VR meeting with Pris. IT's been agonising since then. First the days of fretting about what to do. And then, when I'd lost all my resistance to the idea, it seemed like every ridiculous obstacle in the…
