[ On the morning of the 15th, there is a network-wide ping issued approximately twenty-three minutes after the roster is released to the public. ]

Hello.

As I'm certain you all are aware, a roster has been sent to each of our devices. Given that this is yet another item on a growing list to be examined by us all, I believe it's important for each of us to come together to discuss any possible concerns or ideas that may require teamwork.

@PALPATINE and I earlier discussed the possibility of a non-compulsory meeting to sort through these issues. We agreed it would be in our best interests.

If you're inclined, please come to the Mess Hall at 19:00 in three day's time.

[ ooc: so! this will be broken down into sub-headings as discussed on the ooc plot post and utilized as a kind of "catch-all." if you think anything needs to be added at any time, please feel free to contact me through pm, at rasasvada, or on disco at morning star#3715. or, you know, add it yourself! i don't mind.

noticeably, this is self-directed! if you character wants to speak or make a point to everyone, feel free to do so. no one is policing how this goes or making introductory comments or whatever else. open floor, y'all. ]

What did that do? Turning the metal into blood, I mean?

[ She doesn't know what electricity is, and yet here she is, turning metal to blood. It's a miracle the station hasn't been vented yet. ]

I did the edges of the pieces I wanted to remove. It weakened the panel enough that I could take it down by force, and get into the wall, and access to the tubing there.

[More wires, though she hasn't put that together, absent information about insulation.]

But it took everything I had to do a space two hands across, and that was working with some of the natural features and ridges of the wall panels. It also did activate the station's defence mechanism.

[tumang]

The station's defense mechanism?

[ What does that one even mean? He hadn't heard a single alarm being triggered since arriving here. He'd opened panels and hatches - which required more effort than it would have had on the Roci, but still.

So, a defense mechanism. Did she actually pull out something harmful? ]

[veristitalian]

If you rip into the walls with intent to do damage, you begin to feel faint.

I initially attributed it to the voices we were hearing- you can speak to a rash of people who would hear someone calling for help, chase the sound of their screams, then tear into a wall to rescue them and begin to feel suddenly weak. The two things followed so quickly one after the other that we didn't initially differentiate them.

I returned to an open panel a few days after it happened to me, reached in, and began tearing. I didn't get the chance to do any harm before Frank Castiglione had to keep me from cracking my skull open on the deck.

[And to her credit, she at least sounds rueful.]

I hadn't heard about explosive decompression yet.

[tumang]

Maybe, don't have the intent to do damage?

[ Doing damage isn't what he wants to do. He wants to bypass and cheat the system, sure, but without permanently damaging anything - it wouldn't help in the long-run, which he's starting to feel they are definitely in for.

He huffs a noise of annoyance at her words. ]

You can't just go around trying to break shit down. Everything is connected to each other, on a place like this. You could tear into a panel and start a cascade.

[ At least, she does sound like she realizes the mistake. ]

Doesn't matter now anyway. What you can do, it could be useful, just as long as we use your skills wisely.

[ Not exactly his strong suit, but he can try. ]

[veristitalian]

I do agree with you, but I'm also glad we know the station can do this to us.

[Slightly overhasty experimentation aside, she'd definitely learned something.]

It's a useful data point, plotting out the shape of the influence this place has.

[Perhaps it's just because she's suspicious of space travel in general, but Jasnah is not predisposed to trust anything.]

[tumang]

If you're interested in learning what you can do and what you can tinker with, by the way, I can teach you some.

[ It is his job, after all, to tinker with places like this one. ]

[veristitalian]

Yes, please.

[She says, immediately. She wants to know more, extremely badly.]

I won't teach you about stormlight, because it'd be of no use to you whatsoever.

[tumang]

[ Amos shrugs in answer. ]

Okay.
