Mmm. [She has become more aware of the different meanings of "virus" in the last four weeks, so this isn't entirely beyond her comprehension.] Like a ghost inside of the machine.

[Nods sagely.]

I wouldn't rule out some kind of enchantment yet, though. Whether this is a living creature or a spirit or a...computer..."sickness", the scope of its power feels so much more intimate than anything machine or...alive? I don't know.

You saw Throné's post?

[solesuccess]

Yeah, that's what I said and that's what I asked our other friends via HER-MES. But thinking about it, I don't know how'd they would be able to answer.

...Eunhyuk told me they're basically inside what could be considered the "belly" of the ship. Wherever that is. So it could also be that the ship itself is some kind of hybrid we're unaware of. [ but he nods. ] I saw, yeah. Sounds like everybody else got a pretty good scare. But I'm not...liking the idea of all of them being forcibly dragged back.

[rosebleed]

No, me either. I know they mentioned they were more like memories. Something in between living and dead. So, maybe it's a sort of holding spot. Or maybe the thing that's cursing this ship isn't here, but in that in between place. Or perhaps there's a foot in both worlds, and we'll all have to take care of it.

[A beat.]

Scien said he's speaking with you regularly.

[solesuccess]

Yeah...memories was how it was described to me, too. I think it's entirely plausible it's between living and dead and that's why we can't actually reach them, and they have to, like, port themselves into other things in order to see us. Letters or pixels or whatever. I think we're all going to have to work together either way, so...it's important we talk to them as much as we can.

[ and speaking of. ]

...yeah. Scien and I sort of had a deal when we first met that I'd provide him with as much information as I could find in exchange for picking his brain on a few things.

Apparently they have a lot of rats who are winning?

[solesuccess]

Bipedal rats who don't talk.
