[A pause, about the same length in time as hers.]

Is it certain that Devon and Dominic remain on the ship? And of the captain, Jason?
Insane, you say. Does this assessment also include the three persons mentioned previous -- or is it that you believe they have been made exempt, as it could be said, from the memory loss that you experienced in your first jump?

An unknown and dangerous 'presence' aboard the ship that uses the color red, you would say. I apologise, again, but red? I am not sure I understand fully what a 'presence' is. How does this red presence manifest?

[circumitus]

can't say for certain about devon and dominic. am almost positive that jason, however, is deceased - or worse. we only have recordings of the former captain to show for his ever being here.
jason seemed to have had some knowledge of the dementia his crew was experiencing, claiming "it wasn't our fault."



have never seen it in person before. some people believe that it isn't a person at all, that it may be some sort of artificial intelligence, but there's no proof of what it is or isn't at this time. it seems to have the ability to open parts of the ship that we're don't have access to.

[eripui]

I see. What do you think about this claim of his?

Would you say that this 'red presence' is from your original crew as well? If so, that is -- inadvisable. Red is only used for emergencies, you see. What are the types of messages distributed by this red contact?

[circumitus]

that perhaps they had as much control over their situation then as we do now. that history often repeats itself, and there may be nothing we can do to change it.
apologies. it's been rather hard to remain optimistic here.

have considered it to be a member of the previous crew, as it seems to possess some knowledge of them and the ship itself. unfortunately it only doles out information in the form of cryptic replies and riddles - many of them which reference greek mythology form earth.

[eripui]

That is an understandable take on your situation, from what I have ascertained. To remain light of spirit through the events you have been put through must be hard to accomplish indeed. How are you faring?

There is no record of an artificial intelligence aboard the Tranquility that I am aware of. Your crew's assumptions may be correct, though it's hard to say without further information.

Extensive knowledge of Greek mythology from Earth, you say to mean? That is quite unheard of. I, myself, cannot say I know much at all about such quite ancient history.

[circumitus]

am still here after all this time. still alive. faring well enough to keep moving.

not that we're aware of, either. though come to think of it, it's unlikely to be an AI if it's able to write cryptic messages on walls. not sure how it does that.

might have heard some stories back home. not much of an ancient history guru, either, but whoever is toying with us probably is.

[eripui]

Still alive, is all? Are your conditions that dire?

On the walls? That is also quite unheard of.

What is your home, if it is not the Tranquility?

[circumitus]

at present no. but they have been known to escalate from time to time. have come to expect it.

well, we've also found images painted on the walls. don't know who puts them there, though it's possibly our smiling friend as well.

came from earth, much like a handful of the people on this ship. though some of us from different versions of the that earth, it would seem.
