Same thing I've always done. Keep going. Get to work once we figure out just what we're gonna need to do to make sure we don't have any repeats of last night.

I survived long enough before dying ended up part of the job. You don't have to worry about that-- I sure don't have any plans to see hell again 'til I get back there.

the vibe is deeply unimpressed, even though it doesn't linger]
You're wrong.

[that's just how things would go in capitalism hellscape man he doesn't know what to tell you]
no subject
[oh to be a self-aware asshole
but scien pauses and then feels the need to correct, if only because he doesn't like the implication on dahut's behalf:]
He was his own person outside of myself. I am inconvenienced, yes, but his life clearly had meaning outside of me. He shouldn't have been harmed.
no subject
['but that never counts for anything when it comes to death.']
You'd be an anomaly in the City in your line of work, seeing things that way.
no subject
[no scien you are just an asshohle]
But I'm not someone with a perverse interest in seeing them harmed, or a belief they exist to serve me.
no subject
...well, he doesn't feel like he's lying, really, even if gregor's not entirely sure what those emotions of his actually do feel like.]
Wring that repayment of yours out of 'em, then.
no subject
I will.
And you? What will you do from here?

She wasn't doing well. You should check on her, yes. Do you consider yourself her guardian?
no subject
[there's a little wash of guilt that goes along with that.]
no subject
[but that does feel relevant to share,,]

[...]
I've got no say in what she does. If she accepts, then she accepts. But she can't go back, so you'd better mean that offer of yours.
no subject
If we survive to the end of the tour, I'm not against giving her a reasonable occupation.
no subject
[he does have to at least admit-]
Probably better off with you.
no subject
[scien sucks but he's a decent employer at least,]
And you? Back to your calling in the City?

I don't know if this ship quite has the technology to pull you back from Hell, as it were.
no subject
no subject
But so be it.
no subject
...think we've all got more to worry about than the end of the tour for now, anyway, if we're gonna deal with this.
no subject
[he's feeling fine enough for sarcasm!!]
no subject
You think that's the most likely answer?
no subject
[don't just say this to people, scien]
At the moment, yes, but I need to do tomorrow's autopsies to be sure.
no subject
Think you've got pretty good grounds to tell 'em to hand at least Dahut over, if they object to it.
no subject
They can't keep him under any circumstances.
Relivers need to be burned after they die, so the technology can't be replicated.
[scien is so for real about never letting his invention off his cursed lil island]
