I meet Bea's gaze and hold it. "Bea, you are like the one person in the pod that nobody hates. And I'm here because I don't want you to jump. But that's what I'm saying, Bea, it doesn't matter what I want. You need to be the one in control. We can…

All the way to the bottom, I'd imagine. "She might have killed Gwen. She infected Pris with the plague, I think. So. It's believable."
-
"None of us is going to survive," I say. "Not in the long run. Do you-- remember that Sisyphus book we were assigned last year? I think you and me were the only ones who read the whole thing. The answer to the absurd is revolt. Right? Absolute freed…

I make my way over to a steel gantry that arcs out over the shaft. It creaks when I step on it. And I look up towards Bea on the other side. "Bea. If this is because of what Ourania said to you..." I know that's not all it is. Only the latest crue…

Run Away: (Rolled: 2d6+1. Rolls: 4, 3. Total: 8)

"This is deed up, Aiden. Yeah let's go. I'll call Rys." I leave the microchip where it is. In fact, I don't touch anything in the room. I follow Aiden, he knows the way, and dial up Rys as we go. "Rys, it's Mark." Why did I even say that, he kno…
-
I turn to Aiden. "Where did Gwen die?" Bea has a thing for the tragically poetic, so.
-
"Rys says she's in there," I say to Aiden. I send Rys a reply. To: Rys OK, that's weird. thanks. Mark I try to open the door. Maybe Bea just left it unlocked. "I wish this door would just ... be open," I say. (Turning on Strings Attached…
-
I think of a few reasons Bea might be tagged. Most seem out of character. "Yeah. Yeah, I'll ask Rys." Navi out. To: Rys Hey man can you chek where Bea is? Not in her room. Might do sth stupid. thx Mark
-
I chime the door again and knock on it a bit, and shout. The doors are pretty thick but you can hear loud noises through them. "Bea! It's Mark and Aiden! Just want to see if you're OK." I look back at Aiden and frown, like, where else would she g…
-
On the way? Nothing really. Just brainstorm cool and/or stupid corp names with Aiden. Bun. Fog. Dat. Fnr. Adn. Exo. Zef. Who. We do a brief riff on "I'm looking for Corporal Who." "Who?" "That's right." "What?" And then we're at Bea's door. I …
-
"I don't think my corp powers kick in until I've at least completed the handbook," I reply. I go back to reading and there's a long moment where I know Aiden is just looking at me. I lower my Navi. "Having said that. I could go check on her anyw…
-
I frown and sit forward. "You don't think she would... do you?" I don't think she would. But what do I know.
-
I find it hard to believe now, but I used to like Ourania. She was always a little bossy, but how could she not be, given who her mother is. When I got out of the infirmary, when Pris got so distant, I could see Ourania had been a friend to her wh…
-
That information about Tabitha and Bea is maybe less surprising that you would think. There is some weird stomm going on around here. Has been for a while. "That's a good question. I guess they do. I should tell them anyway, I guess. What were Bea…
-
Yeah, I'll let Aiden know. It's not a secret. "I'm moving up in the world, Aiden. Or at least sideways. But I'm moving, and that's the main thing. Anyway, how was your day? What was all that with the corps over in Eight?"
-
I help Nadja back to her room, though she doesn't seem to need to lean on me quite so much now. Fast recovery, I guess. Maybe that's her mutant power. I say goodbye and then go next door to my room, sit down and start reading. After a few minutes…
-
I archive the message and put my Navi away. "Well, you were right about that. I start corp training tomorrow. Whatever that is." Armlocks 101, probably. Cool, level stare practice. And so on. I waggle my eyebrows at Nadja and say, "If you're re…
-
Maybe she's right. Well. She is right about all that stuff. I can't shake a nagging doubt, though. That there's something I've missed. "Yeah... yeah, I guess you're right." Pretty much anything that happened over the last few weeks could have b…

I nod and shrug over the rumours about Gen Yu, drinking through a straw from my cup of B3 Lemon'n'Lime. "I'd hate to hear what they say about me. I'm trying not to expect too much from the whole Pax situation. A coup would be nice, but I may not g…
-
"I didn't. But I think I might be able to find out pretty soon. She doesn't know that we saw her but she knows I know something about her." There's a long pause because my next spoonful of NutriMash is slightly too big. I swallow it all eventuall…
-
I smile and nod back to Ashlee as she goes past. I'd like to talk more about the game but I get that it would be awkward for her to sit down here now. Me trying to talk to her when the girl she has a crush on is right there at the table too. "Uh,…
-
I send a quick reply. To: Gen Yu Thanks, OK. Will let u know. Think our court is booked up. - Mark "Yeah, I know. I thought I told you that. But I think she has, you know, feelings for someone else. You should let her down gently." I look at h…

I give Nadja the tray with the blue paste, naturally. "Don't worry about it. What are they going to do, anyway?"I say as I sit down. The mention of Rys reminds me about that whole corp thing. I pull out my Navi and press my thumb over the little …
-
I meet Ezekiel and Gams' greetings with a respectful nod. Gen Yu gets an up-and-down flick of the eyes as if I'm picturing her naked. Which, OK, I wasn't at first but now I am. At the dispenser I hit the button for the blue set meal twice. Only on…
-
"What's the matter?" I ask. "You don't have to worry about them. We beat them, fair and-- well, we beat them." I scan the room looking for the best empty seats.
-
I pat Nadja's hand kind of lamely, and follow her out into the corridor, supporting her weight. "What do you want to eat? I hear the refectory has the blue paste today."
-
"Yeah. Yeah, okay." I start to lead Nadja out. "Can you put your weight on it yet?" I look over at the headset on the floor. I'd like to stay a little longer, by myself. Just to find out. But if Nadja needs me I'm not going to leave her.
-
I look at the scans, then at the doctor. I wonder where on the ship she is. "Okay as they'll ever be. How do you feel?"
-
I wait for Ourania to leave, then go over to see how Nadja is doing.
