March 9: you know what they say about drinking and texting

[neveroutwrenched]

i have some questions. for you guys, the crew. us.

mostly about the ingress because i think its bullshit that no one has any idea how to fix it. or how it works. lots of worlds have technology like the ingress. on the greater cosmic scale, in the MULTIVERSE, it's not even all that rare

so

nowait

i mean, anyway. this is a different question. does anyone know why we haven't utilized
a) any of the ingresses (ingress...i?) on any of the planets weve landed on to get home
b) any of the people on those planet because you HAVE to assume someone knows how to work/repair/etcetc

why havent we scrutinized or been given an actual answer for anything that's happened on this ship? creepy skeleton monster? that KILLED PEOPLE. lying to us about caducus-primary. stealing from caducus-primary. dont get me started on the lack of actual consequence to that.

i know its different in everyone's worlds, but where I'm from, being in charge doesnt make you except from responsibility for your actions. or at least it's not supposed to. unless you have

a lot of money or are a celebrity or something

Is it really that common? I hadn't heard anything about that before from anyone on board.

I've been reviewing some of the old MID conversations, especially from the visit to Cadacus-Primary. It sounds like they didn't have any control over the Ingress on their planet either before it was destroyed. Is it possible there's more than just technology and engineering involved? Maybe there's some sort of enchantment involved, like animus-touched objects back on Pyrrhia. I guess you'd have to ask the captains if they've been asking for help. They may have been and we wouldn't know, but I think you might be right.

[ He may not want to admit it but Ratchet brought up a lot of good points, and Starflight had been wondering about the Ingress a lot himself. ]

[Ratchet doesn't know what an 'animus-touched' object is but he doesn't really care. Technology, magic, some combination, made out of cotton candy, it doesn't matter.]

thats the point isn't it?

they DONT share with us what they know or don't know. unless you ask them direct, but even then its cryptic and halfassed

[petrifiedshadow]

It's not like you make a habit of sharing information without being asked, either.

[That response stops Ratchet cold for a long moment. He swallows, suddenly wishing badly he were a little more clear headed right now.]

thats

[A pause, he stares at the screen like he could will the right words into existence.]

its not the same. im not... no ones getting hurt from anything im not telling you.

Well, technically we only have your word on that. I don't think that's true, I'm just saying everyone keeps secrets.

But I also don't think they're entirely lying about some stuff, like not knowing about the about the skeleton monster for example. Why wouldn't they have had been defenses in place so captain Típota wasn't attacked in the first place if they knew about it?
