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

From what I heard, this ship is pretty special. And has dangerous things locked away. But since I'm not good with anything like the Ingress, I hope you find answers, friend. When you're sober.

Hey, by the way, remember those last guys that would make blood ooze from our eyeballs when we questioned them? That were never accountable for anything ever? Remember those? The ones that destroyed planets intentionally and took away people's powers until they were much better at killing?

Believe it or not, I'm actually glad we catch shit at all. Not a lot of shit? But some.

Try to get a look at the Ingress when you can. A better look. When I asked if Tali could, they didn't seem opposed. She was just afraid to after you know what happened to her.

[Niko’s response is sobering. Somewhat anyway.]

hard to forget.

[Impossible, really.]

i can look, but its not really my thing. I mean I will look at it, regardless. but I know there are people with more theoretical know-how. back home this kind of thing is advanced – WAY advanced. almost no one knows how it works. but some people do.

the multiverse kidnappings seems to have a knack for the best and brightest...we just need to figure out who can figure it out

I don’t blame tali.
she didn’t deserve that.

[None of them did; but Tali? Tali really didn’t, as far as you could rank these things.]

[vengeance_driven]

I am not happy about the situation, either. But at least here, you can say this without too much trouble.

I do think figuring it out will be the best way out. And if the ship is making this planet's act like the one on the Moira? Maybe that's a pretty good clue worth looking at.

And no. She didn't. I was there. And what is worse, it took her a lot longer to get better than anyone else. She had to take off her mask in her panic.

Wouldn't it be nice to see some of those people stuck with other people stronger than them?

[It was a good point, and an angle Ratchet hadn't considered; that the ship or something on it was affecting the planet's ingresses. It was worth pursuing.

But the mention of Tali's experience draw his focus. He hadn't known. He hadn't known a lot of the people it had happened to at the time, and he'd largely done his best not to think about his own experience with it. A lot of time had passed since that incident but it barely felt like it. It might as well have been yesterday for all the lingering distrust and fear and pain it had caused.]

id give my left arm to see that if we're being totally honest

[vengeance_driven]

Yeah. You're not the only one. I don't give a fuck if it would put me in the hold for the rest of the trip, I take advantage of the situation.

Because of them, Tali cannot even function in her head. They cured her of some of her sickness, but now she is afraid of helping fix this ship because she thinks something like that might happen to her again.

PRIVATE

[neveroutwrenched]

hah, the rest of this trip in the hold would be relaxing after the neheda. id give a lot more than that if it meant taking even one of those assholes out of the equation

im not sure I think these captains would ever do something like what they did but I cant blame her for worrying about it. unlike some of us she actually has good sense.

PRIVATE

[vengeance_driven]

Good. I'm glad we're on the same page if one shows up.

You don't have bad sense, Ratchet. They just broke her. And I haven't been able to fix. But you, you're not broken yet. You can still help us. You're just drunk and pissed off. Rightfully. I don't like being lied to either.

But I sincerely think this is a case where we must help ourselves, and someone else who can't help herself yet. I don't want to be owned anymore. But there is only so much I can do. I'm not very smart. I need your help, too.
