[from the Empress of Moths, amidst system malfunctions and strange portals]

I have been investigating the new portals using some skills from a previous Jaunt. Two things have revealed themselves to me, which may be of interest.

First, my Control Panel returns a reading of "extra-system access loci" when I use it near a portal. This suggests to me that some entity other than the Trumps is creating, and likely using, these portals.

Second, and quite coincidentally, while activating my Control Panel in a secluded part of the Empress, I discovered that there are dead bodies in the reactor. Eight of them.

[ It really doesn't, Phillip, but she'll let it go. ]

'Creche' like... for kids? Like a daycare? That's a weird name for a planet. Or a system or... whatever.

Is that actually what it means? I guess that's why Kyan tried to send me to the kids area on the Empress...

Maybe it's not even a planet or a system. I don't know. For all I know it's a company, or something.

Yeah, it's like a... day care or something. They used to have one at the hospital where my mom worked...

Anyway.

I guess grilling the dead people about it isn't really going to get you any more answers about where they're from, huh? Though... maybe ask them about the portals, if you can. Maybe they've seen them before. Or if they're part of the ship now, maybe they'll know something we don't.

Oh. Hm. Maybe they have a spaceship version of that. [it's kind of a joke, but he always wouldn't be that surprised.]

Ok. I'll see what I can do.

Well, I mean, if the ships are smart enough to talk to people, they could...

Though most of the ships around here probably aren't haunted. I hope.

I'm pretty sure I would have noticed if it was actually haunted. [spirit communication for the win!]
mysunnydisposition: (robin: totally mature)

[personal profile] mysunnydisposition 2016-02-09 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
...it's full of dead people who are talking to you. Is that somehow not haunted?
darkhourdear: (Phillip [Curious])

[personal profile] darkhourdear 2016-02-10 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm talking to the ship, which is connected to the dead people. That's different. [he thinks.]
mysunnydisposition: (steph: how about no)

If you say so...
