(BACKDATED) DAY 36

[decommission]

[ Hello, friends - have a polite knock on your mental doors. ]

( Sam and me did some more digging on Ngozi trying to work out her angle in all of this. Pretty sure we can rule her out as a secret H+H1 fanatic - whatever's making her act extra shifty seems like it started around the first bombing at the warehouse.

That's about when Ven started acting awfully cagey too. ) [ But they couldn't get past his security to find out what he was hiding thanks to the second bombing.

A pause. ]

( Anyway - I've got the holo-things and articles on a screen out in the living room if you wanna take a poke at them. )

(( OOC: More detailed info is here! ))

( 2070s, actually. )

[decommission]

( Huh. 1943.

You guys living on Pluto by then? )

[greentech]

( Not quite, but we were sending manned missions out there. )

[ Although there's some negative emotions that leak out that are associated with that. Loss, a touch of sadness. ]

[decommission]

( Long trip? )

[ He's curious, but not the type to push if it's a topic that's better left alone. Hard to tell what's intentional and what's bleeding through. ]

[greentech]

( About four months, actually. )

[ Which is actually pretty long, but that wasn't really the issue. ]

[decommission]

( Not sure if that's long or short. )

[ There's a soft humor in his tone, dissolving a moment later. ]

( We can talk about something else, if you want. )

[greentech]

( No, it's OK! It's just... kinda weird. Never mind.

Anyway, It's actually shorter than it used to be, but it's still a pretty long trip. )

[decommission]

[ If Pidge is sure - ]

( You been out yourself? ) [ Into space, before all of this. ]

[greentech]

( Yeah, actually. It's kind of a long story, though. )

[decommission]

( Probably better to tell face to face sometime, huh? )

[ Though the images they can share don't hurt, he still prefers to take longer conversations outside the brainspace. ]

[greentech]

( Yeah, it's definitely that kind of story. )

[ A spark of amusement comes shooting down the mental link. ]

( I basically became a space paladin. )

[decommission]

( Space paladin? ) [ ?? ]

( Like a... knight? )

[greentech]

( Well, yeah. Pretty much. )

[decommission]

( That does sound like it's gotta be one heck of a story.

You got a space sword? ) [ 100% genuine question ]

[greentech]

( More like a space dagger that is also a space whip. And a grappling hook. )

[ It's actually pretty cool. ]
