Their reactions certainly cleared them of any involvement. Even if I wouldn't be surprised the company might attempt to arrange for our Senior Crew to be scapegoats of some sort.
Such is the burden of leadership.
[ Naturally, these are just suspicions, but most dirty companies function similarly. The other problem may be the contracts, which they can't prove they did not sign, but that is a problem for whoever will be left in the future. ]
A pity we still have to play along at all. The ship naturally makes it hard to resist alongside those alterations...unsurprising, in the grand scheme of things. Of course they would endeavor to make sure security is consistently compromised.
I was taken from a time right before the monster attacked me. It was confirmed that it was the moment when I died. That's all. Just unlucky. Nothing more, nothing less.
I've been mostly [ pestering ] speaking to Adrastea. They, as expected, merely informed me of their past background in intelligence, as well the reason they also accepted this job.
It is then I learned they appear to be less of a straight-forward adherence to rules, but more of a pragmatic individual who takes their role seriously. They are also combat ready at any time.
[ Reliable, from Blade's perspective, though Blade doesn't utter such words just because. ]
What about yourself? Anything else particularly worth knowing about the Senior Members you can tell me?
[ He figures he should ask, because why the hell not.
Though at the question, he chuckles. ]
I do seem to recall that Ganymede's strength is the reason a certain portion of this ship sustained a particular amount of damage, so I imagine they can also be ready to fight if necessary.
That aside, overestimation of our current Senior Crew's capabilities is unwise. I wouldn't presume all of them are the type to keep themselves combat ready at any given moment until proven otherwise.
In the Medbay. It looks like similar things end up wounding up random locations of the ship. I was told that someone found something like this in the Cargo Bay as well. There was a strange phenomenon with two faintly glowing yellow balls of light, which behaved like the supposed bees mentioned in the video log, but in a much milder case.
Do you believe these things left behind have been purposeful? Or simply happenstance?
[ Blade is still staring at what is in front of him in thought. But, now maybe he decides to put in notes on his device. This seems...important, ostensibly. ]
I should also mention... there were voices heard in the medbay where the cots were, just like how it was described in the video log. They sounded like sleepy patients.
I was in the same room, but I was too focused on something else to hear them. Mr. Kasuga relayed the information to me... he was with me when I was there.
[ So if Blade wants to ask in more detail, he's welcome to ask Ichiban... ]

[ She feels so dead right now. ]
I hoped it would have been different here, but all this is really... just like my old work, but with nicer and supportive people.
... And that's why it hurts more, I guess.
no subject
[ Kindness...yes, Blade finds it strange. But he wonders how long will that kindness last when they realize to survive will be simply luck? ]
It may have been a far better fate for you to have never met those you did here. If you had, you would still have your freedom.
[ Assuming her previous job also just let people walk away. They could always be shitty in how they took care of the 'after' as well, of course. ]
no subject
[ She says that with absolute certainty, and it's not with any sentiment attached. ]
I will die if I return. I had that confirmed with someone.
no subject
Yuri why does your life fucking suck?Anyway, that is a surprising factoid being tossed his way. ]
...Why, exactly?

I was taken from a time right before the monster attacked me. It was confirmed that it was the moment when I died. That's all. Just unlucky. Nothing more, nothing less.
no subject
...Then, this is your second chance.
no subject
[ Hope that clears up her previous spiel about wanting to live!! ]
I imagine that you would understand why I'm not satisfied with the randomness of who gets to die and kill here, if at all.
no subject
Yes, that is normal for most humans and beings, of course. Doubly so for those who know they are close to the edge and missed it by a hair. ]
...I would.
In the end, perhaps only more information can make us feel less like sitting ducks.
[ Even if ultimately, that is what they are. ]

Have you found out anything about the senior members, Blade?

Are all of them combat ready at anytime?

[ Well, anyway. Yuri gets out the data pad and shows Blade a video log. ]
I think watching it will be easier to understand.
no subject
It is.
Where did you find this?

[ Interesting, if so. He has no idea what this all means (just yet), though... ]
no subject
[ Yuri turns the interface of the IRIS so that Blade can read it. ]
no subject
...Hm.

no subject
You heard those voices, outside of the video log yourself? Or were there others who heard them?
[ Blade's eyebrows furrow as he continues to think about this. Do the Senior Crew know about this? ]
no subject
[ So if Blade wants to ask in more detail, he's welcome to ask Ichiban... ]
no subject
I, on the other hand, find this extremely hilarious. ]
...Good enough. I will merely seek him out for more details if I feel it is necessary.
no subject
... He's a good guy, Blade.
no subject
I will evaluate him for myself.
