the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (1)

monday (41) survivors It had been three days since you had awoken. The ship was still quiet, except for the low hums of enigmatic machines with no apparent purpose. You awake, like usual, to dim lighting and poor rations. Perhaps being on the ship had grown monotonous — it was, perhaps, amazing how little anything seemed to happen in space, a final frontier of malaise. That monotony is crushed by a voice echoing through the narrow hallways. Reformatting . . . Reformatting . . . Reformatting complete. The Pygmalion is online. Welcome, travelers. Please assemble in the meeting room. Your presence is mandatory. Silence falls once again. A minute or so passes, and the lights around the ship finally brighten, the walls looking more alive and more unfamiliar — as if you must relearn the ship's interior once again. The robots on deck begin to make rounds, nudging and pushing at the ship's passengers to make their way to the meeting room. You hear the doors behind you lock. It seems there is only one path to take. ENTER COMMAND_

Height, weight, abilities...makes you wonder just how long we were in those pods before they decided to give us a little bit of freedom.

[qundercover]

Yeah . . . maybe best not to wonder about that. Fucking around with magic isn't my game. Figured they'd watched us before they nabbed us - pretty easy to find out someone's abilities with the right questions and a few hours of watching them.

[chiseler]

Because that makes it sound so much better. [Actually that's even more perturbing.] Still doesn't answer why us. Wouldn't a trained spy know he was being watched?

[qundercover]

I'm being watched a lot. Generally don't walk into a room without someone looking. Hard to picking who's watching for what reason sometimes. [Also yeah. He probably should have known he was being watched and is a little upset about that.] Still not sure how they managed to pull off the kidnapping part. Not alone all that often.

[chiseler]

Yeah, can't imagine why. [Sorry, it's just a thing.] That's the part I'm wondering myself. There are some places people shouldn't be able to get to. So how'd they do it? I'd say maybe you were asleep but...[Seems pretty unlikely.]
