[constructum]

i just wanted to check and see if you were okay.

text;

[circumitus]

affirmative.
yourself?

voice. backdated to the 13thhhh

[tofindthesun]

..Rey, I believe it was. Should your interest hold still in the proposed scouting party, Security would like to inspect our equipment and preparations ere we leave.

voice.

[circumitus]

[Oh yay, communication!]

Yes. Still interested.

I will be there.

voice;

[handelaar]

Where are you.

[Because the answer is not, apparently, at her camp. He's standing in it and there's no Rey to be found.]

voice;

[circumitus]

[Rey's hit a hot spot. For the most part, Netherlands is getting a whole lot of static:]

BACKDATED TO 5EVER AGO; voice

[handelaar]

Need you.

o u; voice

[circumitus]

Where?

[logicunlocked]

Hey, hey, you available? 'Cause I'm here, and I think—'here' is the bar, by the way. I'm here and I can save you a drink if you want to come down. You could use a drink right?

[ Yes, this is the audio equivalent to a drunk text. This is what happens when a man decides drinking until he passes out is a good way to finally get some sleep. ]

[circumitus]

You invite me only after you are already drunk?

[She's not upset or anything -- if Rey being upset is a thing that can happen. But hey.]

voice, TOP GUN ENCRYPTIONS 95% ( backdated to a few days post-cyllene )

[leaps]

You make it back alright?

voice, TOP GUN ENCRYPTIONS 95%

[circumitus]

Yes, albeit a little worse for wear. [IT'S NOT LIKE SHE NEEDED THOSE FINGERS ANYWAY.]

You?

[darkart]

This is Professor Severus Snape; I'm not sure if you remember me. [ Either from that one weird time in the gardens, or in passing with recon-- Rey's even less inclined to mingling than he is, he's noticed. ] I'd like to talk to you about your experiences during the last recon mission. If you'd rather not I understand.

[circumitus]

remember you, of course. [She's not really wired to forget anything anymore, as part of her father's "gift" to her.]

what would you like to know?

surprise

[darkart]

What in the bleeding hell is happening with Shepard?

[ Rey you've been here forever hELP ]

poor severus, lmao

[circumitus]

don't know. have seen something like this before, though.

[SO HELPFUL. But she's less inclined to dole out personal details because she doubts their relevance.]

more likely it's the jump drive. people have shared faces but different memories here before, so the possibility of someone who shares the same - or similar - memories but wears a different face doesn't stray far beyond what's possible here.

incoming mirror phonecall | backdated during plot shenanigans

[pushfall]

[ At some point in time, Claire procures the little mirror that has been so helpful in these dark times and pings its twin to check on Rey, as has been requested of her. Her hair is still a little damp from showering, but she's clean and fresh faced, and that's what counts. ]

Hello? Rey? Are you there?

yaaay!

[circumitus]

[It takes a moment before there's a response, but she's present. Relatively lucid, ever since she nearly went nuclear at Severus. She recalls him mentioning the mirror being linked with another.]

...

Lily? [It's just a guess. A very wrong guess. Sorry Claire.]

[eripui]

Hello?

[circumitus]

[???]

who is this?

text.

[fullmoon]

Hello. My name is Remus. Sorry to bother you, but I've looked through the network & only found two 001s left. I was wondering if you remember anything about the first jump cycle or about Tansei Station. Lina & Joshua didn't have it on their list of places where the ship has been connected to massacres & Resnik couldn't/wouldn't tell me if anything about it might have been different.

text.

[circumitus]

devon resnik and dominic ward had taken a shuttle to tansei station, allegedly restocking on supplies. a handful of people had stowed away and returned to tell us what year it was after the first jump.

if what joshua said was true and the ship itself is what caused the mass casualties on arima and strela, it's possible that tansei was left intact either because we passed by it early on, or because the ship never made direct contact because we never actually docked on that station.

voice;

[servator]

Rey; it's Shepard. Haven't heard from you since all this started.

We're headed to get the survivors out. Just... be careful out there, alright? And let me know if you get this. And if you need help.

voice;

[circumitus]

[Rey does attempt to respond, but being out in the "dead zone" of the dark corridors of the ship, all that's returned is A WHOLE LOT OF NOISE.

[Have fun with that, Shep.]

[text/warning for threats of violence]

[foundafamily]

[Text, after the jump]

Are you back yet? Are you okay?

[Several similar messages follow]

[Text, a little later]

Rey Did somebody take this from you?

Whoevers reading this if you took this from Rey I'll fucking kill you Where is she

[Text, a little more time later]

If you took this from Rey Im going to skewer you on a rusty pole and throw you to the monsters to let em eat you

It wont be fast

Rey if you're reading this tell me if youre ok

[Text, next day]

Are you okay

[Several more like this follow until he eventually stakes himself out in front of her room.]

[Text]

Im here can I come in

[Text]

I made you soup.

[Text, a little while later]

Did you like it?

Also it's still hot. If that even matters for you

Do you want more

private text; (transcript/screencap enclosed)

[dogbane]

Fuck I'm sorry.

private text;

[circumitus]

not your fault.
does anyone else know?

voice (private)

[foundafamily]

Rey. I really hope I'm completely wrong about this, but... Ah, shit, you saw it, right?

[Meaning Smiley's network post, of course.

His words are coming out too rapid-fire for him to feign the calm he'd like.]

Look. No matter what happens 'cause a' stuff that may or may not have to do with you, I just want you to know I got your back, all right?

voice (private)

[circumitus]

Saw it, yes.

[And seeing some of the public conversations have more or less confirmed any doubts she would have otherwise have.]

Appreciate it, but don't risk your life if things start to go red on red. Not worth it.

[She pauses, knowing how Firo would react to her saying those things. Then, she adds:] Have relocated. Deck forty, room six. So you know.

[Text]

[tadashiwashere]

This is Tadashi Hamada. You're on security, right? Would I be able to stop by the brig? Is there a protocol for that...?

[Text]

[circumitus]

correct.
+ yes it's perfectly acceptable for passengers to visit the brig.

[Action]

[foundafamily]

It's not that Firo wouldn't trust Rey with his life, because he would. He just wouldn't trust her with her own. So though she's seemed to be doing okay-ish upon her return, he still finds himself needing to check on her.

And besides, it's not like he needs an excuse to see a friend, right?

He shoots her a quick message announcing his arrival, but raps his knuckles against the door out of habit anyway.

"Hey, Rey! I'm here!"

[Action]

[circumitus]

If it's one thing about Rey that hasn't changed after her most recent return from home, it's that Firo is right to worry. She isn't that good at taking care of herself, and fuck all if she'll ever learn. If her current physical state is any indicator, she still has a penchant for recklessly throwing herself into a fray, regardless of the damage it'll do to her. Like a kid that keeps touching a burning stove, really. Except that the stove wouldn't be able to hurt Rey.

Which makes the one thing said by someone Rey has both hurt greatly and yet come to care about even harder to deal with now -- actually being able to live with herself, for herself.

How the fuck is she supposed to do that now?

While Sophie's gone and Firo expected within the next few minutes, Rey has been spending some time sifting through the network while sitting on the floor in the corner of the room. Hard surfaces have always been more comfortable, making it easier to think. At least she's not too much of a nervous wreck when she hears Firo's voice outside the quarters.

Setting down the communicator on the floor, she pushes herself onto her feet and goes to unlock the door, as it slides open to reveal Firo on the other side.

Despite her marginally rougher appearance, she is able to manage a smile. A lot of crap has happened, but it's always good to see a friendly, familiar face.

"It's good to see you," she admits. "Do you want to come in or do you have somewhere else in mind?"
