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

Easy answer?

The Ingresses aren’t broken. They’re working exactly as they should.

I mean, I came out of the Ingress on Cadacus Primary. And then other people from the same galaxy came out of the one on Ceta. If the Ingress on the ship is “broken,” then so is every single one we’ve encountered so far. More likely they’re doing what they were built to do: bringing in new crew.

[Put simply, the captains are pirates. Interdimensional pirates, but pirates nonetheless.] I guess the need for more hands just happens to outweigh the drawbacks of throwing together a varied mixture of civilians, soldiers, planet-smashing monsters, children, and dead people.

who builds a ONE way door? I mean I guess you could be right. About them existing just to bring people here or...wherever. It just seems like a bad plan no matter how you slice it. what if you bring someone through you don't WANT

[Bad idea or not…it’s not the most insane theory Ratchet’s heard. Every Ingress did seem to work in this exact way. Maybe looking at them as ‘broken’ was a mistake on their part, a product of assuming a function they didn’t actually fill.]

Desperate people. Whatever destination the captains have in mind, they clearly think getting there is worth the risk.

desperate people make bad decisions.
