[For those uninitiated, suddenly experiencing thought-speak is probably pretty strange. It's sort-of-but-not-quite like telepathy, almost, and it's apparently coming out of your communicator. Weird!

The "voice," such as it is, sounds young, male, and somewhat wary.]

<Hello.

Does anyone here know what "protocol S-1704" is?>

Never heard of it.

[ But now he's wary. Anything that starts with the term protocol never seems to end well. ]

You got a context for that?

[canadese]

<A transmission received by a staff member that I overheard in the atrium.>

[andreios]

I guess it could be some kind of standard procedure on a ship, but... [ A beat. ] Did the staff member react at all?

[canadese]

<He seemed concerned by the information and quickly left. I attempted to pursue him but he vanished before I could.>

[andreios]

Guess that means it isn't standard procedure then. I haven't noticed anything weird recently, but I'll keep an eye out anyway.

[canadese]

<Please do. Considering how little we know about the ship we are on or its purpose, it would be a good idea to keep communications between us all open.>

[On everybody else's end anyway!!]
