[scien isn't necessarily pacing but he's also on the move. he checks every window, every vent, every area that has a passageway or door as if he's looking for something. anything.
his emotions are still not quite right - like they're not being processed correctly - but what is there is this odd, unfamiliar sense of anger from him. it builds slowly until it reaches the point that it's overwhelming - until it stalls. disappears entirely. starts to rebuild itself from nothing.
Still with me and half the crew in the Observation Room.
He was fine. No ailments, no overwhelm—despite people liking to bring up his state earlier in the week. It's not our first emergency situation, it won't—
[be our last.
well. he stops himself.]
It's nothing he wasn't able to handle. So something must've come to kill him after we were all passed out.
No. Both Luke's and Dahut's weren't present when we awoke. Supposedly the Senior Crew came to take them before we all awoke instead of doing something useful, like providing a general explanation.
[ lucien's feelings just get tighter. withdrawn. packed in so closely to the core that he no longer has to deal with them. they're for someone else, someone different, to unbox later. or maybe never at all. but there's a slight spark of something at that laugh - familiarity, or anxiety. one of the two.]
Waste of effort. Time. Bring us all the way here to kill us.
