"I suppose the question now is whether or not our slugs can remove this presence." Bad idea, very bad idea. A panicked voice came in Ashley's head. Slugs can't handle this frequency of thought, it'll kill us both in the process. The fact that Ashley possessed his memories told her that he was correct in that statement.

Alex Humva Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 IC [Colonel Ojeda] "And I assume you... verified that?" The Colonel was still somewhat skeptical of the whole mind transfer thing, but the Souper did seem certain. "We'll need to run more tests on you, all the same, verify that you're mentally sound. I'd hate to lose a good fighter pilot." This is exceedingly annoying, Dorian sounded off in Ashley's head. Do you literally spend a quarter of your day thinking about yarn? How do you survive? Why in God's name did you think getting feline instincts genetically programmed in was a good idea? "Souper, keep the situation under control, try to reign in Francis' ego.

I'll make sure Francis doesn't break her. Or the other one." Souper said, looking towards the hapless girl. If these was any consolation, she seemed a lot calmer than she was moments ago and if this could be fixed, well, Souper would do the best that xhe could. "Your mind is fluctuating, care to share with us exactly what the Agent in your brain is saying? I...don't know if this Agent can be removed." said the slug, worried. There could be some long term ramifications for this, xhe knew that much, but what? And were they related to what happened....it didn't matter, no time to think about the past.

Alex Humva Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 IC [Dorian] Ah, so you haven't gotten to that part of my memory yet. The voice paused for a moment while Ashley was reminded of Dorian's time with Emily. Your attitude is infectious, especially when I'm right next to it. I'd prefer not to become some fragment of your psyche, I rather like being my own sapient intelligence. Part of that involves my attitude being my attitude. The fact that I suddenly have an urge for your catnip supply is not helping my fears. 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 "In short, my English Lit friend, living in a mental world of absolute rights and wrongs, may be imagining that because all theories are wrong, the earth may be thought spherical now, but cubical next century, and a hollow icosahedron the next, and a doughnut shape the one after." -Isaac Asimov, responding to a letter he had received saying that scientific certainty was false, The Relativity of Wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snelly Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) IC: Ashley Oh. Ashley nearly blushed as she saw memories of Dorian and Emily. It was odd seeing that kind of thing from a guy's perspective. Dorian meanwhile seemed to be freaking out a bit. To be honest she didn't want Dorian to be stuck in her head forever, it was kind of stressful. Is there any way to stop this? Maybe the slugs could keep you from becoming a fragment? Going through Dorian's memories however it didn't seem like there was a way. She was so engrossed in this it took her a moment to snap back to reality once she realised Souper was speaking to her. "Hmmm? Oh...Dorian is just um...freaking out because he's slowly losing his sapience and becoming a fragment of my psyche."

Alex Humva Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 IC [Colonel Ojeda] While the Agent continued to panic and look around for an answer, the Colonel continued to ponder the situation, looking at Walker briefly and saying "She's fine, though I can't say I'm certain about her mental state of being. Slugs say she has an invader." A bit more pondering, and then she walked back into the medbay. "If the collected people here could calm down for a moment, it's worth pointing out that if what Ashley says is true, and this TIA agent was sent telepathically... that would require a high-ranking committee, something I'm sure Ashley could verify with her newfound memories. That would be a binding military decision, taken by a council of Colonels and Lt. Colonels. I don't have the authority to override that, and I'm hardly going risk the life of a good pilot trying to rip that consciousness out. Continue scanning and testing, but don't try to do anything drastic right now. I need to consult with the Fleet Admiral when we arrive to the drop-off point." 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 "In short, my English Lit friend, living in a mental world of absolute rights and wrongs, may be imagining that because all theories are wrong, the earth may be thought spherical now, but cubical next century, and a hollow icosahedron the next, and a doughnut shape the one after." -Isaac Asimov, responding to a letter he had received saying that scientific certainty was false, The Relativity of Wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowhawk Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 IC: [ Wulf Kharon ] - USF Kestrel / Deck 3 / Mess hallThere comes a time, in every man's life, when there's nothing more that he can do to be useful until circumstances shift once more.Wulf Kharon had reached that point twenty-four hours ago. Heavy lifting, carrying, working an impact drill? Sure. That, he could handle. Only now, the ship's repair and rebuilding was well into the stage of fine detail, spit 'n polish, and just generally much-training-required, which came across as being pretty much synonymous with 'no oversized pirates allowed'.But he didn't mind. Hours of boring downtime was something he could handle with the best of 'em. Especially when lounging comfortably in a deserted mess hall that smelt of protein and grease, with a nice cool drink near to hand and steel-toed boots resting on the table in true rebel fashion....With a lazy twitch of the wrist, Wulf tipped up the half-empty bottle of Coke and drained it in a single meditative swig....OOC:Open for interaction.

Her ears easily picked up Estelle's voice and her attention was drawn to that, paying no mind to the panicking Dorian for the moment. "Hello Ma'am!"

The Mugbearer Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 IC: Andromeda Andromeda was confused. She didn't knew what to do. Somehow, she's lost in her own thoughts and everything that was going on. It was really irritating by the way. To soothe the growing fury, she addressed the nearest human in Federation form (Harken to be more specific):"I'd like to find an operative that brought me on board of the shuttle when I lost my consciousness. Also I want to know who shot me with acid. Considering that original target was captain Geiste, I suspect it was one of your crewmembers." <<I am selling LEGO FTL Instructions on Gumroad!>> <<My Patreon page>> <<DIGITAL LEGO MOC COMMISSIONS - OPEN>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, she had been attacked by Mantis but... That was nothing like Earth. She hadn't lost people like Estelle, hadn't been royally ****** by life. Losing Andrew, her crew, her flight commander, seeing piles of dead and breathing in the stench of rotting flesh and burning rubble.. Ashely hadn't gone through any of that. It would've been better of Estelle had it. She'd be labeled as loon, that was certain, but she was a veteran. People would whisper about her condition, not knowing the truth, but her service record would assure them it was simply that the war had been too much.It would be different for Ashley. "I'm sorry."

The Mugbearer Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) IC: Andromeda "Mantis..." it looked like Zoltan woman shuddered. This word was left hanging in the space between Harken and Andromeda until she put herself together.There was two things that caused some powerful emotions in her mind. The first one was her homeworld which she left many years ago. She could say that she felt joy and happiness thinking about her home. The second one caused her to feel phantom pain and something that humans would call 'cold'. She feared and hated Mantis for what they did to her. They captured her, tortured her with that collar, and then they tried to kill her but failed. And she still thought that it would be logical to just die rather than live in such corrupted, unnatural form. She although managed to get used to it and those fear attacks began to happen with least frequency. But now... she, again, was on the brink of extinction thanks to Mantis."Th... thank you," she said at last, calmly, with her voice trembling like a white noise. "You saved my life.

Visaru Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 IC:"Sorry. Didn't mean to offend you or anything. Hey, it's not like anything bad would happen though, right? I mean, you're just a slug..." Gaven chuckled slightly before continuing. "Sorry. Say, you think you could tell me what is going on on this ship? Haven't gotten a straight answer yet. I mean, being a bodyguard was boring, but at least I knew what they hey was going on."IC ZOSSZoss was not pleased by being referred to as 'just a slug', nor the rock man's incredibly gregarious attitude, and let a trace of his displeasure seep out of his own mind and touch the rock man's. Beyond that, he did not move, merely sizing up the onyx colored, hulking creature, and realizing that he was one of the slaves rescued recently. That explained why Zoss hadn't seen him recently. Zoss sent another mental message: This ship is currently home to a dozen things that are 'going on', from a summons I just got to the medical bay to the degrading comments of an oblivious new security officer. I'd recommend that you start working on being a little more vigilant; that is your job, is it not? With that, the slug spun and slid down the hallway, turning a corner and following the passageway down the length of the ship to reach the location of Colenel Ojeda's message. The doors hissed open and then shut behind Zoss as he entered the busy chamber- not only was it full of advanced medical equipment, monitors, and stasis pods, there was also a large crowd gathered around a women with cat's ears and a tail. He looked at her and felt scorn for her unreasonable, silly decision to waste money to have another species' body parts grafted onto her body - not only impractical but also slightly disturbing. Yet, she seemed to be in shock and stress so he kept the emotions from projecting themselves on anyone else, keeping them to himself. Instead, he sent a mental nudge towards Ojeda, alerting her of his presence, and questioning what was occurring. -------------- Tarrok | Korzaa | Verak | Kirik -------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaven trailed off as the slug slipped away, realizing it wasn't happy with being called a slug. He sighed in disappointment, he really needed to work on mediating his personality. With that, he continued wandering the ship, eventually ending up in the medbay. He noticed a human standing off in the corner, swearing under their breath and not looking happy.
