For those that were in Avelle for the past week, has anyone here noticed the crash?

Or the significant lack of coverage or aftermath?

I have concerns. Perhaps it's a lack of acquaintance with the local culture, but it seems unusual to remain silent when something wrecks into one of the city's main resources. That we are also strangers here reminds me that makes us very prone. We may be in their records now, but it is as simple biological resources.

We're going to have an important figure on board. It might be sufficient to secure our safety. But I am curious about that crash.

[He clears his throat. Moving on.]

Do you have the equivalent of an R&D team? A group that I can propose a project to if I give them the specifics? It would take a bit of work but in the long run I think it would be beneficial.

It can't be both? But, since you asked, yes, I suppose I'm surprised that you met with them at all. It seems... I don't know. I've never been a fan of blind dates.

[ And was it really so strange to remember that people did things like going on dates? She laughs, a soft surprised sound. ]

You're joking, but I'd bet that is a misdemeanor on this planet. Especially for the bad ones.

[ She hadn't been expecting quite that much, but still she listens attentively and is silent for a moment while she considers what he says. ]

My father traveled a lot until he died and he took me with him, which I loved, but. Well, archaeology digs aren't exactly the best place to meet playmates. I didn't have my first real friend till I went to university. [ And then she very nearly got the both of them killed... But that's not a story she's ready to tell yet. Not when everything finally feels in focus and clear. ] It's... easy to forget that not everyone feels the need to forge ahead on their own.

If it helps, I've enjoyed our post body snatching conversation.

Good to know I still have nine or so years of solitary forging before it grows old.

[ It's shockingly easy to tease and behave the brat with Miller. It's not the familiar ease she had before... But now's hardly the time and place to be thinking about that. ]

I prefer us having the body over this Link'd lot or whoever the Komai are, but even with an autopsy report, I don't know what we can do with it. If it was something to do with Link'd, they are the government on this planet.

And if they decided to do this now, we're right in the middle of it all, aren't we. I do see how paranoia would recommend itself.

[ She considers it a moment. ] I have to admit, this is a first for me. Before I was on the Moira, I.

[ The words stop, stick in her throat. Only for a moment, but it's a noticeable moment. ] I was shipwrecked on an island. It had been taken over by this... this cult. The Solarii. Survivors of other shipwrecks. They were utterly ruthless, either join them or die. Some they didn't even offer the choice...

[ She had rather lost her original point. The air in Avelle was thin, compared to Yamatai. Even the stink of the river didn't claw it's way into your lungs quite the same as the stench from the shanty town at the base of the mountain. Lara realizes, vaguely, that she'd stopped walking. Her hands clenched in fists. ]

They weren't a militia. They were just monsters. [ And she can't find it in herself to be sorry for the way she butchered them. ]

[ Her gaze had slipped, somewhere off in the middle distance. She turns it back to him, focuses intently on what he's saying. She grimaces at his apology, shaking her head. ]

It's fine. I'm fine. [ Both the truth and a lie. ] We should get back to the ship, yes?

[ She manages a smile. ]

Thanks. Having a distraction was nice
