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. Along with this, it appears there are new areas opened on the ship. It seems you have more exploring to do. The robot in the cafeteria has prepared another breakfast of various foods.

[ honestly, minako is just here to roll her eyes at pretty much every word that comes out of rhys' mouth. it's been some time since she's met someone so utterly disagreeable, but she's trying her best here. ]

It's like you don't even try to start a conversation out decently. [ seriously, what the hell. ] And I'm from Earth, too. Believe it or not, it's real.

[hatslinger]

Hey, Minako. I believe it. [ there's a small wave as she regards her, giving her a sheepish smile because she somehow feels responsible for the broken package of instant ramen she'd been chained to. when she looks at rhys, she glares. ] Rhys.

[ why can't you guys let her live! she just wanted to read some weird earth crap in peace, but rhys has to regina george his ass over here. ]

Uh, I've read hundreds of times? In front of you? You definitely know I can read.

[unasking]

[someting that apparently everyone present here can agree on: Minako deserves better

well. Rhys might disagree. But considering the fact that Rhys is being hostile for no apparent reason, Frankenstein can't quite bring himself to care. Regardless, he's smiling.]

It's good to see you, Minako. Rhys.

Is there a reason why you don't think Earth is real, Rhys?

[like.

let's start there, that sounds entertaining]

[jackhole]

[ why is everyone so mean to him?? wtf, he doesn't deserve this. ]

Why would I? A Pandoran and... "Earth" people. [ he definitely made the finger quotes. ] You're all two seconds away from rolling around in the mud anyway.

[ but also fiona, don't counter his insult with LOGIC. HE WAS SAYING HI, UGH. ]

... Still.

[ apparently that's all he's got there. he's going to just deal with frankenstein's question then, shrugging and crossing his arms over his chest. minako, you're really suffering with someone who gestures all wildly as rhys does. ]

Because it sounds fake. I heard you don't have robots. Or a Vault? Which is ridiculous since every planet has a Vault.

[allout]

[ she's looking at fiona and frankenstein with pleading desperation in her eyes. save her, mom and dad. please. ]

What kind of Earth are you talking about? We totally have robots.

[ she's like, soulmates with one. not that anyone needs to know that aigis is a robot, but whatever. principle of the matter. ]

That's the thing about different worlds - they're different. [ said slow and enunciated, so he understands. ] You should keep an open mind.

[hatslinger]

They could have just not found their Vault yet. Or, I dunno, maybe every planet doesn't have a Vault. I doubt like, twenty people would lie about being from the same nonexistent planet, Rhys. If anything, we're just making Pandora look fake.

[ the robots thing is a compelling argument, though. ]

Say. What percentage are you guys at? [ she's mostly saying this to minako. she's worried about her. ] Last I checked, we're at 40%. Not sure if that's good or not.

[unasking]

[the fact that Minako is talking to Rhys slowly like addressing an infant is hilarious and Frankenstein thinks that he could watch it all day. he's just going to (not) helpfully chime in]

Minako's a very bright young lady, I can't imagine her giving Rhys a very hard time.

[though he will listen to the percentage once it's given - the parenting instincts are apparently strong with these two]

[jackhole]

[ petulant muttering here: ]

Your robots are probably fake too.

[ he doesn't want to keep an open mind, okay! and he's feeling like this is a 3 on 1 thing here and it's not making him very happy. so more petulance as he responds to fiona. ]

I'm not even from Pandora so, I don't really care. [ but you live there now, rhys. your company is there. stop being such a bigot.

except then fiona tells him what their percentage is and he seems to sort of deflate. ]

... 40%? But it's only been a day and you're already at 40%.

[ he regrets coming over here now. ]

[allout]

[ yep, that sounds about right. why did she have to get stuck with him as her partner? she's self-sacrificial, but even this is pushing the line. ]

I bet it's a lot easier when both parties cooperate, Rhys.

[ translation: she's gotten almost nowhere. she sighs, looking back at both fiona and frankenstein with defeat in her eyes. ]

We're at 5%. Seriously, it's like pulling teeth with this guy.

[hatslinger]

5%. Really?

[ not that she particularly doubts it. minako wouldn't even have to be a disagreeable type to not get along with rhys. she gives her a sympathetic frown. ]

You know, he kinda likes being smacked around. If you start sucker punching him I bet it'll go up. Just a tip.
