[ more to himself than anything: ] Do you have to call me that, Scien? [the answer is yes, because it's deserved. anyway he sighs. ]
That makes sense. Scien and I made a deal even before he died that I'd be the one gathering information and bringing it back to him as I found it. Must've been some overlap. Here, take a look.
[ he pulls up his iris to show her scien's letter:
Check with New Hire. Ghosts on our side from last Eudora tour. Same as chart. ████ ████ ████ ████: ████ ████-████ ████ ████, ████ ████ ████ ████-████, violent rage similar to our problem. Abduction seems cyclical. Looking to determine cause. We are made of memory. No corporeal form. ]
[ after reading the first line. then she reads the rest. ]
Well, most of that kind of lines up with what I've heard. After seeing what Rodya found, I've started talking to Thebe about seeing if she can remember some of that research about memories and souls and all that...
Yeah, this about fits what I've been thinking, too. I've been studying a lot of ghost stories lately, so...kinda validating to know we're on the right track in a way. [ but hm... ]
What's she said about it? Anything helpful so far?
That'd be...really good if it did. I trust you and your judgment on this one, so I know you'll do your best with it. [ affection week means he'll just come out and say this. ] Thanks, Anise.
I'm going to try and figure stuff out with Metis, too. [ ... ] Gregor and Shu found another datapad this week. Adrastea's logs. We took it to her to try and get the rest decrypted and she remembered a few more people from the original crew. So I think as long as we keep pressing them on things we're gonna get somewhere.
[ now that she knows his real age, he feels less weird reaching up to kind of ruffle her hair. for once he will do the ruffling rather than be ruffled!!! ]
I know you will. But ask us for help when you need it. We have Rodya now, so...you've got a lot of us who'll do what we can to help you take it over the finish line. I think you probably have the best in though since you're working with Thebe directly.
[ but oh. ]
Try showing her the roster, too, if you haven't. Gregor and I went to see Adrastea, and she said that seeing it might help fill in some more names and memories.

[ she stops herself suddenly. she was about to say something very hopeful. ]
... I'll let you and the others know if we have any big updates, okay?

... Yeah! Okay, leave it to me! I'll push this as far as it can possibly go!

Good idea! We know who made up most of the research team at the time, but I think we're still missing someone.
[ like, a research chief. ]
no subject
Yeah. I think we are, too, so if we ask around and fill in more gaps, maybe they'll fill in other ones, you know? Like a chain reaction.
