Yeah. We've been trying to get them around as best as we can, but this ship makes it a little hard. The senior crew has kind of explained that cosmoelectromagnetic waves are what causes the weekly changes, but the schedule kind of makes that more suspicious.
[ he nods though. ]
Temenos and I talked to a few members of the senior crew to ask them if they can decrypt the video. I tried to myself but the thing's locked beyond me.
The weekly changes — maybe, but the effects that end up causing people to kill? They’re not lumping those in together, are they?
[ …. ]
Have you noticed when you talk to the senior crew about stuff like this, and why they’re here, they’re kinda— [ he taps his forehead and winces like he has a headache ] React to it like it’s hurting them?
No. There's still no explanation for what's driving people to kill. That's what we're looking into.
[ but he frowns to the question and nods once. ]
Headaches, or sometimes it hurts their prosthetics that Nut & Bolt funded for them. I've been thinking it's because they have some control over them, or at least something embedded in them that forces them to feel pain when they get too close to the truth. Like how a shock collar would work.
Because it's bad, across the board. [ that's why he said it. he refuses to treat this lightly when it could be hurting them. ]
...why does that make it sound like you've had amnesia before? [ but anyway. ] We can't. Some of them have agreed that they'd like to be in the loop, too.
That's a good thing. [ but...yeah. ] Beneficial's the word I'd use, yeah. I don't know which of them you trust, but I've had some decent conversations with some of them about this sort of thing. I like keeping them updated as best as I can.
I haven't really talked about this with them, honestly. Amalthea mentioned it a little, and that's the most I've discussed it -- speculating they might have some non-coincidental form of memory loss.
I told Amalthea I'd share information with them. Callisto and I have spoken a little about the memloss thing...and Europa's at least admitted there's a difference in what they remember now. They're becoming a lot more aware as the weeks go on.
Right. So long as they aren't doubling down on what they remember being exactly correct and refuse to entertain the option...it should be okay to keep talking to them and seeing if anything jogs their memory or not.
That's not a bad start. I haven't asked too much myself because I've been...I dunno. Focused on here, I guess? It feels like there's always too much all the time.
To be honest there's still a lot of us left, too. It's too hard to try to talk to everyone here and all of the senior crew all in one week while juggling the effects from the cosmoelectromagnetic storms and our work on Wednesdays and whatever curses are flying around and the lockdown on Thursday and then everything through the weekend.
[ you can just leave, hit da bricks, walk out. except you can’t, not fully. ]
You said yourself, there’s still a lot of us. We don’t need to talk to everyone individually — we should probably find a blind spot and have a meeting or something, sure. Everyone can catch each other up, we can keep what we know on the downlow. But you can be antisocial if that’s what you want.
Talk to the senior staff you like and get along with. And focus on getting through the other stuff. Spread yourself too thin and you’ll collapse.
...Mizuki tends to catch the people I miss anyway. [ so he's fine being more antisocial because mizuki date is too social. ] I don't disagree about having a meeting or something though. With all of the information flying around, you know people are missing things. Organizing that kind of thing might be a whole other mess though.
Maybe that's something to consider next week then. Or even the week after? [ he makes a face. ] It's always going to depend on what else is happening at any give moment.

Sometimes you get headaches when forcing amnesia, but it's not like we can keep all this information to ourselves when it clearly connects to them.

With that many discrepancies in what we’re showing them versus what they remember they’re bound to have some doubts or questions.

We seemed to enjoy the party games before. Add some food and we should be fine.
