many of you have been here awhile
What happens to someone when they are gone?

When it seems they have disappeared
I assure you he is not simply hiding

Do you think this is terribly clever?

They either go back through the Ingress or they leave the ship because they refused their contract. Those are the only explanations.

[whatshimadayou]

i literally have no idea what you are suggesting

Because you were told or because of experience?

[a_shadow]

My own experience. The experiences of friends. The Ingress is constantly malfunctioning, it fucks up all the time.

I thought this was a comment on a specific person potentially hiding. Sorry if I misinterpreted.

[whatshimadayou]

I know that he would not have left of his own accord
But if it really is that unreliable, then that is possible.

[grandpaladin]

I do not know.

Who is it you are searching for?

[whatshimadayou]

who do you think

[grandpaladin]

I cannot speak of experience in my time here, but may I ask if this is about Genji?

[ The log of network users was showing him as departed and she hasn't seen him of late, after all, and this was not a large enough ship to have not run into him for a couple of weeks. While she may not have told Hanzo that she knew who he was, this reply leaves no doubt and she only hopes he will take it in stride.

The possibility of information on Genji outweighs that of her delicacy for her fledgling relationship with Hanzo. He wouldn't know her well enough to gauge her worry in this matter, but it is significant for her to put such a blunt question forward. ]

[whatshimadayou]

Yes

It is concerning Genji.

[cadeuces]

I am so sorry, Hanzo. He never passed through the medbay or the cryo chamber. I have only heard of people returning home safely time and again, and that some even return.

If it would not be an inconvenience to you, I would like to hear any information you may glean as well. Genji is a very dear friend of mine and I will offer the same in return.

I've not seen you around since we arrived; has everything been all right?

What the hell do you care

[flashbanging]

i know he's your brother and what that means

but yknow

it ain't like you're the only person affected by this

[vengeance_driven]

People can either go back home, willingly leave the ship, or be like me and go to a different place altogether.

Is this hiding thing something that happens a lot?

[whatshimadayou]

Is there any way of knowing for certain?

He is a trained assassin. It is simply plausible, albeit highly unlikely
Especially if I were to look for him

[vengeance_driven]

No way to know for certain, though I would think if he left the ship willingly he might have had the captains remove his MID. So that it wouldn't be tracking him and he wouldn't be registered to crew anymore.

So if they don't have record of him going, it was probably him disappearing.

sometimes they come back
sometimes they dont
sometimes they come back and they dont know you

[whatshimadayou]

But they go home
Is that true

[knaval]

i dont know

not here sorta?

[wallride]

[lúcio says nothing, but sends hanzo a link to his recorded nature noises on the MID.

there's some nice water sounds now!]

also not here

[whatshimadayou]

[But he does listen to it and definitely does not cry because what kind of ex-yakuza heir cries not this one

Eventually through ninja means, Lucio will absolutely come across a frog origami conveniently left by him.]

[She didn't really know Hanzo that well, in fact Pharah had originally passed over this post until she noticed some of her family had replied, and took the time to read through it. Realizing they were referring to Genji brought a pull in her gut; She hadn't gotten a lot of time to hang out with him, here, but he was a pleasure to be around.]

I am sorry for your loss. Genji was such a pleasant individual, I will miss having him here. At the very least, I'm happy to know he's at home and helping the people there.

If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.

[whatshimadayou]

who the hell is this

[justice_from_above]

[Not exactly the response she was expecting, but then she did go into it without introduction.]

Forgive me, I am Pharah. I am a friend of Genji's

[accidentalqueen]

As far as I can recall, it seems that when I left the ship I returned exactly where I was before I found myself here.

[ She isn't unkind enough (without cause) to advance her second theory: that she might not have made it home, and went somewhere else she has no memory of instead. ]
