( they didn't know enough. it was a thought that she kept coming back to. they may have started being able to access more of the station, find records of the people that had previously been here but it wasn't much. it wasn't enough. what had happened to everyone? who was still controlling the disasters that were being inflicted on them?

but there was an option. a possibility. it's no secret that when they first arrived they were able to hear something. vanessa had believed it to be a spirit though with little seen or heard since she isn't certain. she hasn't given up trying to listen and, with conversations prompting more thought, she wonders if she could do more.

a séance. it's something she does little, finding the conflict between a desire for answers and her own control difficult. it's a feeling that vanessa dislikes but she feels almost hopeless, having difficulty finding any other solution. this, as unfavourable as it was, could guarantee something. and she wouldn't be alone -- alex had offered to help and that made her feel a little more secure about it all. if something happened--

she'd contacted alex first, discussing with him her idea, acknowledging her reluctance but also pressing her determination. they'd arranged a sort of plan, something that whilst opening it a little more, making it potentially riskier for all involved could also make it safer. she hoped. they'd invite someone each, someone trusted, and make the attempt. she had little to do until they arrived, not exactly any sort of preparation when vanessa had nothing, but she was the key -- the power.

once they arrived she felt she owed them a little something of an explanation and the opportunity to still back out )

I don't know what Alex has mentioned to you. ( it's directed to bobbie though she knows that she hadn't exactly told ren what he was going to be doing, vaguely asking if he could help her with something. she looked briefly to alex before beginning, a brief assessment of his expression, reassuring herself that they're all trusted here ) My name is Vanessa Ives. I'm-- a spiritualist. Specifically, I can see things -- spirits. That is what we're going to be doing here -- finding a spirit of someone that was previously here.

( she looks now between bobbie and ren, expression neutral, open. any questions? )

( vanessa's mouth closes again, the movements of her head slower as she moves, not quite sluggish but not with the same movement of lucia a moment ago.

her eyes pass over the other three, hands moving back together, a small comforting gesture as she recollects herself. vanessa doesn't know what happened during the exchange but she knows that someone was there -- the feeling of having her body inhabited was familiar whether it was spirit or demon.

and then, quietly, vanessa asks-- )

Did you get an answer?

[marineris]

We got a few answers.

[The issue now is piecing them together.]

It sounds like something went wrong with some kind of experimental drive, and it dropped them off in a system they didn't recognize.

( the words mean little to vanessa though she thinks that she has a little of an understanding about what might have happened )

Would that be here or where they were taken to?
