[ 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. ]

I want to know what to do to prevent something like that from happening. But I just don't feel like we know enough about where we are yet to even start doing anything like having enough safeguards to prevent against such tragedy.

[She shuffles her feet just a little.]

[contorta]

It takes a lot to prevent that kind of thing from happening. I don't know if we even can.

( even if they knew everything about this station — do they have the resources? )

[mapsio]

So essentially, we're not ever going to be safe here.

[She's frowning. Not liking that premise or future.]

[contorta]

We might manage reasonable levels of safety.

( sorry. if what happened to ganymede station taught him one thing, it's that safety doesn't really exist. )

[mapsio]

You don't sound so sure.

[contorta]

( he looks at her, a little helplessly. she's so young, he shouldn't be putting this on her —but she's old enough to deserve to know, too, isn't she?

he doesn't know anymore. )

The station I used to live on, Ganymede. I always thought it was safe, but it got destroyed. Something happened, a cascade started, now it's uninhabitable. Anyone who was left on it died. All the plants, all the people, everything.

[mapsio]

[She frowns, obviously trying to show some compassion for the man. He lost his home, his daughter. Everything. He lost everything.

She feels bad for him.]

So that's why you said that. I...I understand now. I'm sorry to hear that.

[contorta]

( his daughter might still be alive. she might be something worse than dead, too. he just doesn't know. )

Yeah.

( a beat. he's not great company right now. ) Thank you.

[mapsio]

Of course.

[She gets a good look at him, he...looks so tired.]

Prax-san. I would like to meet with you again about the garden. But for now...? I think you should go get some rest.

[contorta]

( prax lifts a hand to rub at his face. halfway to it, he changes his mind and rubs the back of his neck instead. )

Ah, well. Maybe I should.

[mapsio]

Do you have a place to stay? Do you need somewhere to lay your head for a little while?

[contorta]

I have a place.

( alex had seen to that. she's being very kind to him, but he's not in a great place to appreciate it at this moment. )
