... I'm used to it. I used to clean corpses of my coworkers that I had dinner with the night prior.

[ But like Charles said, it does hurt a little. But only a little. This feels like her former work again. Cool. (it's not cool) ]

Luke and Dahut were in the lounge with us, weren't they? What happened while I was...

[ freaking out. ]

[riverbeans]

... Sorry to hear that.

[death still sucks!!]

... Luke collapsed, right before the rest of us blacked out—apparently, that part comes hand in hand with the lockdown, though no one's sure what triggered the lockdown in the first place.

I think Luke might've had some health issues, but none of us have any idea what happened to Dahut after we all fell unconscious. He was fine at that time, at least.

[applebough]

... Oh.

[ She never would have guessed he had health issues. ]

Are the senior members reachable? None of this seems natural.

[riverbeans]

You can say that again...

But yeah, I've been talking to Amalthea and Metis. They don't really have answers for us, though. They said they're looking into it.

[applebough]

I see... They must be swamped with a lot of messages, if that's the case.

[ What a HR nightmare, honestly. ]

I wonder if the shields outside the sim rooms meant that there was a fire inside.

[ That seems to track with Dahut's last thoughts. ]

... But I can't think of why there would be a fire.

[riverbeans]

[thinks...]

... Maybe. Dahut was the kind of guy who'd go and try to put out a fire by himself rather than leave it, honestly.

[applebough]

... Yes, I think so too.

[ Dahut will be missed. ]

He's smart, so maybe the communication channels were still blocked too. I slept for a long time, so I can't confirm, but it's already strange that Dahut would wake up by himself.

[riverbeans]

Yeah... can't figure out what went on there. Something to do with the nanites, maybe? To be honest, I don't understand much about them.
