I don't know about it being separate. I think perhaps that's just how he spoke - it was hardly the only time he talked like that.

[ he loves being bossy so much ... ]

I expect we should dig around the ship a bit. Life support isn't a bad idea. Waste disposal? Perhaps there is something to looking at the old security footage, maybe there is a history there. Apart from that, of the Senior Crew, I trust Amalthea.

We could split up. Each of us take an area. Or go in pairs.

I trust Metis. I don't know how much he'll be able to help us, but Amalthea and Metis have been...

Actually, have you noticed Amalthea acting differently than she used to? [or was that just throné]

Yes.

[ scowling a little. he liked her more when she was weirder ......................... ]

[SAME HELP]

I don't understand what happened...

She recovered more of her memories, is my understanding.

[exhales slow.]

Did... you see any of the memories she accidentally shared that week? [because boy howdy.]

Yeah. That's my understanding, too, from the mission she led with Yuri, Nodd and Rosamund. We talked about it a little last week.

...yes. What was that about?

I don't know. Perhaps her memory...

[a beat.]

I imagine it has something to do with the memories coming back.

The human mind is rather complex.

[ so, yeah. maybe. scary to think they could have completely different personalities. ] But, the truth rarely hides for long - so, it is a good thing.

Adrastea, for me. I can question her about it tomorrow.

[ that's my ride or die ]

Life support, waste disposal, security. We also ought to see what places have not had the strange glitches that produce the datapads, and see if there might be any correlation.

I'll also likely write Callisto's brother tomorrow - I don't have any letters left at present.

Alright. I also have no additional letters for the week. They may be censored on the return as well.

...Perhaps his penchant for talking in pictograms may become useful in that regard.

[ we're gonna have to unscramble emoji bingo ]

I have two, but at this rate I might as well just send something tomorrow. They get them on Tuesdays, mostly.

The general address is [ gazes ] 'ratbrows', and we will need to ensure that he writes us back. He has been sharing his letters with our dead - they have a limited number as well.

I suppose only one or two of us need to send him a message, but I do owe some responses.

... We should endeavor to keep this search to ourselves, also. Just the four of us. Yes?

Aye. Keep it close for the moment.

I don't know if he has given this directive to any others - a few spoke to him on Wednesday.

Too many cooks spoil the broth. I suppose we'll see.

[a little nod.]

I suppose we'll hear quickly enough if he gave instructions elsewhere.

I can try with Io, Thebe or Ganymede. My defaults are usually Metis and Amalthea, but send me wherever you think I can help, I guess.

You're smart, I imagine you could choose who you like. It isn't an issue if you want to try speaking with the same person as another - perhaps they'll say something to you that they wouldn't to another.

True enough. I'll see what I can find out and bring up then. I trust the senior crew to act with discretion either way.

I haven't used any of my letters this week. I usually write them on Wednesdays and...well. [ everyone just showed up??? ] But I have those, and I'll have mine tomorrow. Though I'm saving at least one.

Save whatever you care to.

As I'm sure you've all noted, they seem to arrive Tuesday or early Wednesday, and the return arrives Friday morning.

And we receive replies from them on Friday, no? So perhaps we can coordinate. That way if one of us ends up dead, they won't just be lost or pointless.

[ don't just say that ]

What Lucien said. You may get something different from Metis or Amalthea.

[...] But I suppose out of those, I'd trust Thebe the most.
