Much as I'd... rather not ask... [The sphere clicks on, circling around to Rath, whom is missing his hat.]

Have any of you managed to acquire a--er-- green headdress? I could have sworn that I... [There are two suspects. He gives a sigh.]

And did this Captain Orion mention that they had the last updated list of passengers? One would hope that

[Regene is also lacking in some key items of clothing, ahem.

Slightly mocking,]

Why, Rath-- are those bandages on your head? Are you quite alright?

The Captain seemed to say that everyone currently on the planet was on that list. Perhaps the list somehow kept updating, hm?

[serpentswrath]

Perfectly fine. I believe the more pressing matter is how the list was updating-- [Thinking back to the Prince's explanation of computers.] --or perhaps who was responsible for keeping track.

[storyofaneet]

[Very amused, despite the situation.] I imagine in much the same way the ship brought us here. The matter of who bears further investigation, though in all likelihood that person is dead or gone.

[serpentswrath]

The obvious assumption would be the Captain I've heard mention of. However, he's said to have perished in the crash.

[celestial_okami]

I have not seen it anywhere, but I will keep an eye out for it. As for the list of passengers, I am also at a loss. Perhaps one of the passengers who is more familiar with these types of--technology?--will be more able to explain.

[serpentswrath]

An excellent suggestion, O' Goddess. If only one of them were to offer an explanation-- well, though I can't say I would be surprised to find that they compiled the list themselves.

You were the one they studied, weren't you? How... trustworthy is his word?

[celestial_okami]

I was. He seems certainly more trustworthy than Captain Ganymede, but that is not saying much, I am afraid. If I recall correctly, there seemed to have been a coup on the ship, as when we discovered the Captain the first time, he had been murdered.

I am hoping that their disagreement with the captain himself will not extend to us. Though they wore those strange clothes so it was impossible for me to determine whether or not they were lying when they spoke. I could not make out their scents over the smell of the strange suits they wore. It was rather frustrating.

[serpentswrath]

Well I can hardly imagine why it might extend to us. We certainly weren't on that ship of our own free will.

[A pause.] You, ah, have the ability to detect when one is lying?

[backflipping]

I didn't do it.

[serpentswrath]

I never suggested that you did. Unless there is a reason for me to suspect you that you aren't sharing?

[backflipping]

Do I look suspicious to you?

[serpentswrath]

As a matter of fact, you do.

[dawnward]

It's very possible that they aren't aware of the most recent arrivals, in which case they may be left behind.

... [oh yes. he sees that the hat is gone]

[serpentswrath]

Provided they ignored the word of the passengers that were on the ship, that is a possibility I'd rather hope doesn't happen.

[dawnward]

We won't know until they return, will we? Again, all we can do is wait.

[serpentswrath]

There seems to be quite a bit of waiting involved.
