Late Week 3: the consequences of investigating without one's Traveler

[wolvering]

[This particular message comes with a burst of draconic color-empathy. Kiga is bored, worried, and lonely. That isn't a good combination for a wolverine who is grumpy by default.]

Need to find my person. Where Pod? Help send me to her.

[Is this a smart idea? Probably not. Is Kiga going to take no for an answer? Also no.]

I haven't seen her here on Mars, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything except that if she's infiltrated, her overlay is very lucky not to have run into my overlay.

[wolvering]

[There's a splash of dark colors.]

Infiltrating. Seen any white humans? Mostly, she is white-colored. White fur, or stone, or hair.

[chalicejoker]

Maybe she's here with us? So many different species, hard to say! But there's a doctor with the right colors!

[wolvering]

Show me? Is she well?

[Worried wolverine is worried]

[chalicejoker]

[Abruptly, a livestream cuts on. It might be difficult to make out--Mantoids have compound vision and it's coming from a height of about two feet.]

Gonna try to show you, gotta get a checkup after my molt!

[carbonatedscientist]

No, none quite so pale.

[There's a pause.]

But my overlay's not exactly great at being social, and I suppose she could have been in the group of interns he ran off last week. He...didn't make much of a point to remember their faces.

[wolvering]

I have found! With Ryo.

I need to get to her. How?

[wolvering]

Ryo is good.

[If Kiga is having trouble with the vision, he doesn't comment. Meanwhile, Juni is in her office/lab working and would be delighted to see Zippy.]

[chalicejoker]

See? Nice doctor!

[And Ryo, as Zippy, will happily chatter away at Juni about the molt and look how big he is now and it's really cool and so on and so forth.]

[carbonatedscientist]

That's...easier said than done. They're in space somewhere, and in a military facility on top of that. Even if you managed to get there--probably via Liminal--if you were caught, you would likely be viewed as some sort of intrusive problem they'd want to eliminate.
