CALLISTO
It's somber, this morning, barring the sudden, clipped request sent out by the Eudora. Hard to not be, considering the proceedings of yesterday - the loss of two crew members that you had come to know over the past weeks. The sequestering of one in the brig, the other monitored in the medical bay. The truth of their actions, come to light. The night passes without fanfare, and the sleep is barely fitful, no matter where you have spent the night.

And then, the morning comes.

The walls of the Eudora feel looming in the silence, but duty calls. Temenos and Harley have been requested to investigate the simulation room. There's nothing to guide them through these hallways except their own feet and the familiarity of this alert from many weeks past; there is no compulsion, there is no guiding light, just a request from the synthetic AI voice of the ship herself chirruping over and over again. If others attempt to investigate in their stead, they'll find that they're given no access through the archway of the simulation room's entry, but these two individuals can make it through without trouble.

The simulation room is not off, like it has been the past couple of weeks.

Instead... it's rather different from before.

It's a simulation, what if—

[ ...ah, but then there's the audio of the video that temenos and harley are being treated to. the color drains from his face as it plays—it's cruel that all of this is being left to their imagination.

he falls forward until his forehead hits the barrier and he pounds on it once, a hard hit, before he just lets his arm fall and back onto throné's shoulder. ]

[ and it's over. rosamund's final thoughts play on their i.r.i.s.es, and...

he starts to cry. hot, angry tears streak down his face as his nose runs, but he doesn't care that he's quite literally a hot mess. none of that matters, quite frankly, after all that. ]
