[ Every MID gets a nice picture sent to it. The image is a bit blurry, but it (hopefully) reads loud and clear. ]

If we don't figure out how to fix this, this is what I see
And it's not good.
those whale things won't make it and maybe we won't either.

can't anyone read those signs? they're there for a reason

Good evening. With your permission, I'd like to inquire more about your drawing.

[ aka I have a bad feeling about this. ]

what do you wanna know?

[ If it's what is that big blue blob? she's just going to roll her eyes. ]

Is the atmosphere on fire or something else? What does the green signify, if anything? How accurate are your predictions? On average, how often have your predictions been successfully altered?

[ Clarifying points, really. Most everything else he feels he can parse out pretty well on his own. ]

it's the whole planet.
I like color. maybe I should have added more red.
There was lots of red...

And the future changes all the time, one little thing and I'll be drawing a different ending. it's what I see now
I don't know about tomorrow

I don't know about tomorrow either, but I agree that something needs to be done today. Before it's too late.

Thank you for answering my questions.

Sure
what do you think we can do? they're not gonna leave

Not right now [ And she's scared. ]

I can't claim to have considered all of our options, but I suspect our best chance for success will require compromise.

A synthetic alternative might do the trick. Without knowing too much about the materials they're harvesting it could be a stretch. It may not be replicable.

Education certainly can't hurt; if everyone understands what's at stake, then the decision to continue hunting becomes that much harder. Based on past experience, I don't imagine great success with this option.

Immediate intervention by the crew isn't out of the question, either. It's the least likely to succeed and stemming this type of thinking aboard the Moira will prove to be difficult. This is not an option I would personally recommend.

This is hardly a comprehensive list, and without hearing the issues from all sides, it's going to be difficult to decide the most appropriate route.

[ ... is this for real? That's a lot to read, and well. ]

you say a lot for someone who isn't really sure what we should do
Not everything's as easy as all that anyway. everyone can't be happy, that's just how the world is

It seems like that works the same way here too.

I think a lot. And I think you're right.

[ He's bound to have a lot to say on both subjects. It's just the Kenobi way. ]

does it help thinking a lot and doing nothing with it?

[ It's a bit rude, probably, but she's terrified of this future. ]

[ He doesn't mind rude; he knows where that attitude comes from — what drives it. ]

What makes you think I intend to do nothing?

if you were going to, if anyone was going to
I wouldn't see this anymore.

I've drawn it too many times, too many ways, and it hasn't changed

Well, you've only just mentioned this to me. I had my own suspicions and I've already been working to preserve life here — unsuccessfully, it appears — but these things do take time.

I can only hope it takes less time to resolve than it appears we have. I'm not fond of facing certain death.

sorry, are you saying if we don't figure out how to solve this....the whole planet's going to burn?

yeah
Have you been down there yet? from what I see, it's not looking so good

[It only now occurs to him that he's officially at the point where some kid he's never met can tell him they know the future or some version of it, and he'll take it at face value. When did all this weird shit become so...normal?]

ah, yeah it's. it's not good.

so you can only see a certain point in the future? you cant see, say, a little earlier to know exactly what caused this?

I can't believe it. It actually looks like a whale.

It's really just the one. The other still looks like the blue fish from Dr. Seuss, but it's still pretty good.

So I guess we're gonna have to save those whale things.

I've had a lot of practice the last few days
what ideas do you have this time?

[ Because she's not really sure how they're going to do that. ]

I was gonna suggest busting up their little platforms, but that might actually start a fire somehow.

Maybe we can scare those things off, get em to go somewhere else for awhile.

Someone else said something like that, but I don't think they know what they're doing...
I don't wanna explode

No one's exploding. We didn't go through all the shit that we went through just to come here and blow up.

[soy sauce.]

I wonder just how many of those hunters there are down there.

You don't know that.
You've seen all the people on this ship just like me

[ Soy sauce or not, space is a lot different than home. She wants to go back there. ]

Too many for you to stop by yourself. I'll go with you

I'm an adult, I know everything.

[and he did not inject that shit into his veins just to die. nope.]

Hold up, killer. You're not going anywhere. But there has to be enough of us on this thing who can stop them.

Yeah right [ She's more of an adult than he is sometimes. ]

You can't do it on your own. until we find out, all you've got is me

[and all she's got is him...

well shit.]

Maybe this is one we need to think through a little.

Oh good. We keep up the trend of leaving each place fucked up.

[He really doesn't want to be involved in another destroyed planet. He really doesn't.]

These things you see got a habit of coming true?

you mean there's been more? [ Not a comforting thought to have. Ever. ]

Like I said, the future changes all the time. this is what I see right now, but it could be different later

A few, yeah.

Is that all you see? Sparked fire?

There are little things
if I knew more I could stop it somehow

Anything not in this picture that you saw?

I didn't see anyone if that's what you mean

I mean little things. Places. Ships, maybe.

I do not want to leave another planet to burn.

They become... drug dealers? Good heavens.

I didn't draw any of that

I think I have it. It's an elaborate commentary on the folly of man.

No!
commentary on the fact this whole place is gonna blow up if we don't do something

[ Sorry, Aurelia. She's scared about it. ]

The folly of whales.

i thougth fire wasnt allowed on the planet

it's not
That's why we need to keep it that way

right
why did you draw this anyway? bad dream?

im actually surprised the entire planet hasn't exploded yet
also thats a nice picture! well nice as in i like how its drawn and not the fact the whales are going to die

I like a lot of color. even if it's something bad...
those whales aren't gonna be the only thing that's dead if we don't do something

Is something broken?

I didn't see that.
but it doesn't mean something isn't wrong...

Can you feel anything? Or do you only see it?

what did you read?

Is this going to be one of those things where by trying to stop it from happening, we cause it to happen? We should be careful before charging in to to solve the problem.

I like the flowers.

[ That's what those are, right. ]
