WOULD THE CONVICTED PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND COOPERATION.

As the clock begins to wind towards that time once again, things on the ship are... quiet. The tension is thick in the air, trepidation abundant. Despite it all, you were able to find the killer, but at what cost? Some of you are with the convicted in the brig, waiting, waiting, and the Senior Crew among you are just as tense, some running systems checks anxiously in wait of whatever anomaly may be about to occur. A few sit in the brig alongside you, while others wait outside. Hope against hope, right? That maybe something can be done in the face of all these anomalies, week after week?

But, much like at trial, there is a shift to the silence. A sharp pneumonic hiss resound in the brig, and the convicted is simply - gone. The tubes that were used to take him away to the brig from the conference hall are now used to transport him elsewhere. No one is expelled from the brig. No one is locked out. And then the Eudora's AI calls out across the ship, informing you of where to go, a mandatory execution once again... but when has it never not been mandatory? Fear, anxiety, pain, rage... feel it, hold fast to it. Even if you don't make your way there willingly, your feet will carry you there to that wretched sim room once more.

The Sim & Grav rooms are deactivated in full - the eerie, orange glow of the blank space, filled with a faint, pink haze when you first arrive, doesn't make a particularly inviting scene when you arrive. But you're brought to the main, largest room, used for large group simulations and zero gravity runs, where a sweet scent lingers as the pink haze fades. And once you've gathered together to one side, that's where you'll be staying - a shimmery barrier falls down to separate you all from what the Eudora has decreed will be an execution.

[ big malcolm in the middle energy there, shoma. ]

Didn't think she'd be happy with anyone else doing it.
solesuccess: (I don't know why)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-07 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ thanks for understanding my reference becksy. ]

No, and I don't blame her. But that doesn't mean it isn't still going to be difficult for them, you know? [ a pause. ] Especially with how the last few times have gone.

[ this ship is full of surprises. ]

[personal profile] roseoftexas 2024-04-07 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ any time, ty. ]

Never said it wouldn't be. [ hopefully someone has a heal gun if she really gets fucked up in there, which, wow, knowing our plant trauma. ]

But it's not the worst to have someone who knows you around for things like this.
solesuccess: (I'm bad behavior)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-07 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ there's a pause of consideration. ]

...familiarity and all. [ and, you know, sort of feeling like at least you're doing something in the end. he doesn't say that out loud though. ] At least they know what they're there for.

[ which is about all he gets to say before there's suddenly bursts of roses that startle the hell out of him. HELLO. ]

[ opens his mouth to reply.


closes his mouth to stop replying. there goes the E.G.O. ]


Yuri was pretty worried about people getting their hands on these at auction. [ HE CAN SEE WHY. ]

[ he's just. very, very alarmed actually. ]

...when it corrodes like that, it's really, really hard to control. [ it's mumbled, but he's not taking his eyes off of the two of them now. maybe gregor will have an easier time? god he hopes so, but. ] This isn't going to be good.

[ looks down at him for a moment, and then back at the battle behind the barrier. ]

Probably not. But if anyone knows their way around them, it'd be Rodya.
solesuccess: (Use it)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-07 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. For sure. They're, like, trained to handle these things. [ that doesn't change the fact he's nervous about this suddenly but it's fine. ] But...

[ but what if an E.G.O. is extremely powerful and amplified by being afflicted? what if he doesn't voice that out loud actually. ]

Yeah. If anyone can handle this, it's Rodya. [ a ]

[personal profile] roseoftexas 2024-04-07 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ not sure we like the air getting chilly but i'm sure it's totally fine. ]

...

[ all they really can do is assume that rodion will be able to handle it, in the way they expect she can. no pressure, babe. ]

... [ he nods. ] We can cover any injuries when she gets out.
solesuccess: (In the bottom half of the hourglass)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-07 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ things he's concerned about: double corrosion. rodion's safety. gregor himself. yuri having to watch all of this, actually. there are so many factors to this that are a little too intense. no pressure, rodya!

but yeah. he's just folding his arms over his chest, gripping the greasy, rusty elbow of his metal-cased arm. ]


Yeah. Pods are open and we have heal guns left...as long as people brought them with them today.
roseoftexas: (85)

[personal profile] roseoftexas 2024-04-07 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh there are so many things to be concerned about no kidding. but right now he can only focus on the immediate aftermath and what that might be for the person fighting for her life in there.

the rest... the rest can come afterwards. ]


Right. [ ... ] Even if they didn't, we can move fast.
solesuccess: (They say we are what we are)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-07 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ can they outrace gregor's shapeshifting bug arm. can they.

regardless, he nods and goes silent again to watch this because this just got, like, ten times worse. oof. ]
roseoftexas: (18)

[personal profile] roseoftexas 2024-04-07 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ honestly i think gregor should shatter the barrier and take out half of us. ]
solesuccess: (I don't feel attached to this name)

[looking over at him when he says this like wheeze. this is going to be a mess.

"he mumbled it" she has really good hearing idk]
solesuccess: (I believed what I shouldn't have)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-07 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ thief hearing, yeah! anyway since she's looking she can also see he's busy flexing and curling the fingers of his metal-cased arm actually while he's watching this because boy howdy is this going to be a mess!!! throné help. ]
naeddre: (095)

[personal profile] naeddre 2024-04-07 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[i don't think she has any hands left but she occasionally looks over like she wants to comfort him a little. they both kind of know how ugly this all feels.

she's probably itching her arm absently, leaving red marks.]
solesuccess: (When I don't have an identity)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-07 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he will eventually notice she keeps looking and just slowly makes his way over here to vibe anxiously in support.

and offers metal hand? please stop scratching, he gets it, but don't hurt yourself. ]


naeddre: (051)

[personal profile] naeddre 2024-04-07 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[... okay. they can hold hands. she stops holding her breath when he comes over.

he can probably catch her mumble a curse under her breath when rodya stumbles.]
solesuccess: (They say we are what we are)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-07 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ mood. his gaze is sharp and fixated on the two of them, though there's the tiniest bit of tension draining when the e.g.o. shatters. ]

If they can keep it under control...maybe it won't be as bad. [ also mumbled. but his tone says that they both know how this is probably going to go. ]
naeddre: (095)

[personal profile] naeddre 2024-04-07 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[silence, as she watches rodya swipe, and then she just... looks down. away.]
solesuccess: (I don't feel attached to this name)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-07 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...he'll go silent, too, just holding onto her hand as long as she allows. he's still watching but man. this one's rough. ]
