the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (11)

monday - thursday (14) survivors Sunday's trial was only mere hours ago, but you find yourself faced with a new week on The Pygmalion. When you awaken, you will find the ship restored to its previous state, all areas interfered with during the murder looking mostly the same as they did before. It seems you have more exploring to do. The robot in the cafeteria has prepared another breakfast of various foods.

...she is. [This wasn't meant to happen and he's staring down at the body briefly.] That's it then, isn't it?

[bloodteller]

[ from his side comes yuno's voice. it's a touch deeper than usual. ]

We have tomorrow, too.

[ but it's easy to tell that she's shaken, too.

... even if she's covered in blood and guts and her arm is severely burned ??? ]

Think we can try to save them? Luke.

[chiseler]

[Is...this his fault? Was this his fault for trying to figure things out to save everyone? He's blank, staring straight at Fiona that he doesn't even register Yuno at first.]

I...don't know. [He blinks suddenly, staring at her then.] Yuno, your arm--you need to get that looked at.

[bloodteller]

You're looking at it right now, aren't you? [ okay, it's a sarcastic comment. shit burns and feels like it's getting worse as she stands there, but. she's not hiding it, her bad mood. no use being sweet princess when you've just eviscerated a body. ]

I'll wash it. ...But my mom's on that ship, and I'm worried.

[ the least she could do was try to ensure that thing was dead, but... well. ]

[chiseler]

Yeah but I don't know anything medical and you know that's not what I meant. [The response is also snappy but he's trying not to make it worse.]

We still have 'til tomorrow. We can still figure something out, we just have to wait. It's...we have a trial tomorrow don't we?

[bloodteller]

[ thanks to you, luke. yes. we have a trial tomorrow. yuno looks down to fiona's absolutely desecrated corpse, detached. ]

Judar can't die because of this.

[chiseler]

Then we'll have to do our best to figure something out. Maybe beg with the AI. Just give us time, okay? Don't freak out yet.

[tevinteriscoming]

For now, it is.

[This doesn't mean they have to give up on trying to somehow. Persuade Alice to help them. But he doesn't imagine it will yield results. He's taking it hard; it's not even necessarily about the deaths, which are too abstract right now. But he's tired of failing.]

What did you learn from the test? Or was it all a bluff? You certainly weren't told anything by the graveyard this week. If they could have contacted us, showing up here physically wouldn't have been necessary.

[His tone is stern, but not exactly accusing. This should have been prevented, but he knows for all his complaining about the plan, he never put his foot down or tried to stop this. He should have, but sometimes it gets tiring to have his good intentions immediately spat on. He's not going to do that back, at least, not now. The morning is another matter.]

[chiseler]

[He doesn't really have an answer so he sort of just stares at Dorian before he shrugs.]

All I can do is apologize for this. That's it. That's the only thing I can do now. [Or at least it's the only thing he wants to say to Dorian about this.]

[tevinteriscoming]

Well, no. For one thing, you can answer my question.

[He doesn't say it harshly, just sort of disbelieving. After all this, Luke won't do them the courtesy of telling them whether Fiona was the only one they'd gotten results for?]

I don't really need or want an apology. You tried something and it. Well, it worked, to some degree. All I should like to know is what you learned from the test, and if you haven't a mind to share it, I'd like to know why.

[chiseler]

[He clears his throat, nodding to himself shortly after.]

We definitely found something in Fiona's blood. That's what I got anyway, or something. Jason's the one who actually looked and I mean...you don't double-take at something like that. That's how we knew.

[tevinteriscoming]

But you didn't know whether you'd be able to find something that way?

[There's a lot that can be discussed later, once they figure out what to do about the Nuwa and Judar, but for now there's really only one question that mattered.]

Can there be others besides Fiona?
