A few questions:

What do you wish you had been told when you were new to the Moira?

Relatedly, what do you think it's important for people who are new to the ship to know?

Any answer you can think of is a valid one, although responses from people who have been here longer than most are especially welcome.

that it was so small!!!!
the second one depends really
like im very used to beeing in space but what if some1 who has never left theyre planet sudenly finds themself up here?
it would b scary

[ryuuzaki]

All of that is a matter of perspective, I suppose.

For example, the ship seems big to me. Likewise, it would probably be more alarming for someone who had never left their planet and was unaware that it was even possible to leave their planet.

[knaval]

yeah thats what i mean
so do u mean like
ppl to avoid?

[ryuuzaki]

That's not bad place to start, although it's also extremely subjective. I'm interested in hearing about anything that might be worth knowing.

How long have you been on the ship?

[knaval]

a couple months
maybe how the mid works? if were going on the tech thing

[ryuuzaki]

You're right, but what if that information were only accessible via the MID? It might be useless.

Can you be more specific than "a few months"? I'm especially interested in talking to people who can describe things that happened more than two months ago... before the whales.

[knaval]

i was here before the whales!
on emiri you mean??

[ryuuzaki]

Yes, and even prior to that.

What happened on Emiri? I've heard a little, but not much.

[knaval]

civil war happened?? somehow
i just remember a group of humans tried to arrest me and i just stepped over them and left lol

[ryuuzaki]

How did crew from the Moira get involved in a civil war?

All I've heard about Emiri is that there was some sort of obligatory matchmaking.

[knaval]

OH WOW
no they all got super mad at the end for some reason
and their were guards everywhereeeeeee

i mised that matchmaking part >:(

[ryuuzaki]

At the end?

What happened before that, if not matchmaking?

[knaval]

yea
the matchmaking was first but i arrived after
when the civil war started
i duno why
i just hid in my alt mode for a while in the street
no1 questioned a boat
it was gr8

[ryuuzaki]

That sounds like an extremely impressive disguise.

Were you able to do anything other than observe?

[knaval]

some guys stopped and stared but i think they were too confused to care
no i dont like geting involved in human problems like that
but they were like
arresting people and some guys tryied to run and got shot at at one point
i was gona do something but they went in2 a building and im too big to get into thsoe

[ryuuzaki]

Were the people who got shot from the Moira, or from Emiri?

[knaval]

emiri
they were shooting at their own citizens

apologies, I've been pretty sick!

[ryuuzaki]

Hypothetically, when you look like a boat, would people be able to hide in the boat?

NO PROB MY GUY hope you feel better! 😚😚

[knaval]

i guess? im pretty big theres plenty of places to hide on me.....

I do, a bit! thank you! :)

[ryuuzaki]

That's fascinating.

[He doesn't even mean this sarcastically.]

If you had to transform back to your robot form, would the people hiding in your boat form be injured?

GOOD make sure you rest up

[knaval]

probably
its not a good idea to be sitting on some1 when they transform

[ryuuzaki]

Would you say that the risk is more falling, or being crushed?

Also, how conspicuous is the transformation process?

[This seems like something that would good for camouflage, in certain contexts, but probably not for stealth.]

[knaval]

both?
it's pretty obvious
and loud
