<I have discovered another body in a corridor near the general commerce area. I have sent the remains to the medical bay for examination. I will update once they have been identified.>

[A pause.]

<And if anyone has information regarding Marco's whereabouts, I would appreciate hearing it.>

[TEXT UPDATE, forward dated to 24 hours later, 2/25 evening]

according to the lab data the remains are those of ukoku sanzo. my condolences to anyone who knew him

[He's skeptical, though. Who says the data is true?]

Comments

[canadese]

thank you however i doubt you will be successful if marco was able to be found he would have contacted me by now

[genice]

Maybe, maybe not.

I'm sorry you were one of those who came across one of the murder victims. It's been one every few days, all people who'd gone missing from weeks before the ship systems went down. Or the first both had. How many more incidents do you think we should be expecting?

[canadese]

how many are missing

[genice]

I don't have a full count. Missing since the start of the month? Six, eight, ten. It's hard to say.

[canadese]

then that is likely how many incidents we should be expecting

[genice]

Overly pessimistic. People have gone missing since December, and they haven't been found in anything like what's happened to these poor people. This can't be the only explanation.

[canadese]

perhaps not but it cant be discounted as a possibility either

[This poor sweet summer adult.]

[genice]

No, it shouldn't be discounted. None of the possibilities should until we know otherwise.

gently sets this up

[canadese]

you must admit is is more likely that the same source is behind all of the missing

also it occurs to me that the deaths have only happened since bringing the refugees onboard

purrs

[genice]

Implying what, precisely? Neither the Fek nor the Trilk are particularly subtle. Let alone well familiar and versed with the ship.

However, their world was also destroyed, and not by us. The murders have also happened after that point in time. They might not be entirely unrelated.

[canadese]

that is simply what i wish to investigate i find the timing rather suspicious

[genice]

I don't disagree that the timing is suspect. For various things, and so yes, one of those possibilities is as you mention.

[canadese]

you interact with the fek a great deal do you not

[genice]

Myself, Yuuri, and Eichi are their liaisons with the ship at large, so yes, I do.

[canadese]

perhaps we should ask them what they know

[genice]

I'd be glad to do that. Would you like to come with? Set up something semi-formal? They're a telepathic species, but they don't communicate outside of their own species telepathically, so we'd be speaking through an interpretive technology.

[canadese]

such a meeting would be ideal however there is no need for technological assistance as i will be able to interpret for us

[genice]

You're sure your thought processes will be compatible?
