We're all alive, no major injuries, by some miracle. [Mikleo's hella pissed off tho.] But our engines don't work.

Oh, no... We can tow you if no one else has offered. When we get to the next waystation we can see about repairs.

I think Mikleo found someone, but thanks Belth. Mostly I'm just trying to make sure life support doesn't abruptly give up and am trying to get at least one of these engines back on, but...it might be a lost cause.

I'm sorry, [he murmurs, and he means it. If they'd been able to maneuver closer during the fight, they might've been able to save the Huntress from becoming scrap metal.]

I have some credits saved up. I'll put them toward repairing your ship.

...if you don't desperately need them, I'd appreciate it. I'll definitely pay you back.

Don't worry about it. I've-- learned to do this sort of thing since the last time we were attacked.

[Give him a minute, and Sorey should get a notification that a fairly substantial sum of credits has been deposited into his account.]

I suppose I have a hard time buying things for myself, anyway.

[He keeps forgetting that Belthazar has been here much longer than he has. ...goodness, that's a lot of money. He's going to have to make this up to him for sure.] Belthazar...what happened the last time the Fleet was attacked?

If... if I am being honest, I do not remember very well. I had a concussion. The other fleet fired on us, made some ships crash-land on the planet... and then they stopped suddenly and ran off.

It was almost two years ago, now.

Some ships crash-landed?

[Like that hollowed-out skeleton from the singing planet?]

I believe so, but I do not know which ones. The Marsiva was fine, of course. [Ugh.]

Right, of course. That's where the new people go and all; can't risk that being damaged.

[Want some pretzels with that salt?]

I doubt it's just that. I don't think the Marsiva's purpose is completely clear to us just yet.

Because so much of it is blocked off? [They know hardly anything about that stupid ship. They don't even know whether or not their captors are actually on it.] Y'know, I made a map of that downed ship from before, or as much of it as I could.

Yes, precisely. We saw a strange part of it once, when everyone was forced into it. They called it recalibration or something... Were you here for that?

[...!!]

If I could have a copy of that map it would be so very helpful! Ah-- please!!

Sure, of course. I'll draw you up a copy as soon as possible. [Pulling it out now to have a look.] I don't remember anything about a recalibration though...

Thank you so much.

[He taps his fingers on the table, trying to remember.]

There were a bunch of small rooms, sort of like the ones we get on the ships but more sterile. And there was a very large kitchen and a group room. We could access some media for entertainment, none of it familiar really, but... it felt quite a bit like they were trying to appease us.

But when the lights went out, things turned very strange. We would all fall asleep at about the same time and then... we were caught in our dreams, or those of other people.

In the dreams of others...? [Sorey bites his lip, thinking.] That doesn't sound like anything I know. Did it seem like the Atroma did it on purpose?

I am not sure, but I would not put it beyond them. There were some troubles with the augments before then.

You could likely find more by asking the network. I was-- not in the best of spirits at the time.

Don't worry about it, Belthazar. If it comes up anywhere and I find out anything new, I'll be sure to let you know.
