[ a little while later on tuesday gregor gets a picture message. it is a bunch of the lights hanging from different parts of his and yuri's room and lit up, and the instruction manual and opened box for the nanoblock set sit on--the kotatsu?? from his memory?? don't worry about that. ]
i don't mind things that aren't "useful" thanks gregor 🤖
haha i hope so oh? yeah, temenos's was encrypted. we had to run it by senior crew to get it unlocked, but i don't know if his was a special case or not i can take a look? i have time right now if you wanna come by
Hey. Come on in. [ he leads gregor inside, and he just goes to crawl to sit under the kotatsu again. the nanoblock set is out and he seems to be slowly putting it together. he gestures for gregor to sit on whatever side he wants. ]
[ he seems pleased with that. lights are nice. homey vibes are nice.
garbage is less nice though, and he raises an eyebrow. ]
...I'm not gonna ask you to tell me about it if you don't wanna go into detail. When Harley and I went to the armory it was just kind of goofy and weird, but I know some of the others have had to fight stuff and everything. But you guys got out okay, right?
They had lockdowns back then, too. [ ... ] Did you see HER-MES earlier? "This isn't the first time this has happened. Everything in cycles." A lot of things were blocked out, but uh...one of those words was definitely killing. And thinking about it, the one before that was probably lockdowns. I'm not sure what the first one might've been. Something ending in ge? "Think of what happened to the"...something.
What happened to the old crew, maybe, since we know they used to be here...?
[fiddling with the cigarette in his mouth.]
I'm not sure if we oughta just ask Adrastea. I heard they've all been remembering more, but I'm also hearing we can't trust all of 'em, and they're not one I've talked to so much.
That's my best guess. [ ... ] Charles and I suspect there may be someone from the old crew in the same place the deceased are. Just based on letters. It could be part of why we're starting to find these kinds of things.
[ he drums his fingers on the tabletop. ]
Adrastea was the one who decrypted the video log last time when Temenos found his and I couldn't unlock it. They got the whole thing open. I'd at least consider trusting them, but if you want I can go with you to talk to them. I...have a feeling they wouldn't be surprised to see me again.
Honestly I'd just ask them to repeat the process, but we might be able to get faster results in person. I'll go with you whenever you want to see them. You just tell me.

Looking cozier already. Bet Yuri will like it, too.
Say, you know much about working with these datapads? Just picked one up with Shu, & there's part of it we can't really see.

Did you guys get autopiloted somewhere, too?
no subject
[a little smile, at that, though it fades as he settles in.]
We did, yeah. Turned out to be that waste disposal room, and we--
It, uh. Wasn't an experience I'd particularly care to repeat.

...so...Nera's behavior feels a little familiar, don't you think? [ like their FUCKING MURDERERS??? ]
no subject
[maybe he's reaching, but like. fuck. they can only ever observe behavior after the fact.]
