[that's so fair i'm sorry for my cyoa crimes]

... I see. [squints.] A place that is important... did he manage to say anything about it that was uncensored? The first place I thought of was hydroponics, but I'm not sure.

[discomfort]

Not at all.

[ HELP ]

He was too worried about saying more.

[naeddre]

[THANKS VIKTOR]

I see. [...] Hydroponics is the important location mentioned last - I think the dead believed that there was some sort of... pink haze that could be coming from there.

Shoma and I have theorized that it's something that makes us hallucinate. [a beat.] Which I would prefer to not be true. I don't want to discover that we have been sleeping on meat this entire time and we just cannot see it properly.

[discomfort]

Well, there is an odd reoccurrence about meat, I suppose.

[naeddre]

Yes, the dead seem insistent that everything is made of meat where they are...

[discomfort]

Perhaps someone should eat it.

[naeddre]

The... ship?

[discomfort]

[ trying not to smile. it was a joke but his sense of humor is bad. ]

Yes. If it was made of meat, then we are likely inside an actual creature, I think.

[naeddre]

[normally she's better at picking up jokes but owner is a mystery]

... Well, I hate the idea of that. Especially since it won't let us leave for too long.

[discomfort]

It does feel a little needy.

[ just a little. ]

But hopefully it is not that dire.

[naeddre]

Hopefully. [a beat.] But... you do think it's alive, yes? There's a possibility that the ship itself is alive.

[discomfort]

I think there is a chance, yes. That, or there is something alive within it that, at this point, might as well be the ship with how much control it has over it.

[naeddre]

[a little nod.]

I agree. [like a parasite, or... something that strapped in and can no longer get out.] I suppose what I'd like to do is find a way to speak to it, in that case.

[discomfort]

Mm, I wonder if the translator would work on it...?

[naeddre]

It might. [...] I've never been on a ship before, let alone... spoken to one, but I suppose there's a first time for everything.

We can always look for a way to do it.

[discomfort]

The other ones may have a better idea, but getting past the censor can be such a hassle.

[naeddre]

[big sigh.]

The censor is impossible to get past, but... perhaps we can be creative, somehow. [...] I'll think about it.

For now... if I can find the place Viktor was talking about, I'll tell you.

[discomfort]

[ he bows. ]

Thank you. And if I find anything as well, I will also let you know.
