[mental link: day 41] darling you got to let me know

[isorropia]

[Somewhere out there in the universe, something shifts for the members of brood SARGAS and ALKAID. It's like a puzzle piece clicking into place; a key sliding perfectly into a lock; the satisfying arrangement of colors in some perfected gradient. Out there in the space between spaces, a hatch is happening.

--But here, now, on the Morran ship:]

( It seems we'll be meeting more Hosts once we reach… wherever it is we're being taken. ) [Lyr's mind is the ripples of a still pool after a pebble's been dropped into it.] ( Seeing as we now know the identity of the envoy harboring the Enemy presence, this seems like a perfect opportunity to broach the possibility that some of you might prefer to return to the Station rather than stay here. --Or rather, that it may be necessary. The work ahead is likely to be delicate and dangerous. To very poorly quote one of our own, it might be considered unethical for everyone involved to ask anyone who isn't committed to our purpose here to remain. )

[You're welcome, Bakugo.]

( Make your decisions. After we disembark, Cathaway will meet us with whichever new hatches choose to make their landfall and take whoever wishes to return back to the Station. )




((ooc: Splitting the party! We'll be handling a few drops by sending characters back to the Station (we'll let you know which characters will be returning to the Station via autopilot and which will go comatose when the Hatch Log goes live on the 24th). This is also an opportunity for active players to return their characters to the Station and continue play there. Please be aware that characters who return to the Station will be there for the remaining duration of Mission: Hyrypia and will not be able to participate in mission based events; conversely, please be aware that characters who remain on Hyrypia will not be able to participate in Station based events. Brood connections will remain open, but seem radically more tenuous.))

( What sort of "unethical" are you talking about? I know we've already gotten involved in some, uh, shady stuff, but... how bad do you think this is going to get? )

[earthborn]

( We haven't exactly gotten through this clean, thus far. So what's your definition of 'dangerous' in this context? )

[shiro2hero]

(How much time are you giving us to decide?)

[iuno]

( That's a pretty sudden change. You didn't care much about the ethics of it before now. )

[whereabout]

( Are the ethics actually a consideration here, or is this purely because it's practical? )

[ The question itself is more idle curiosity than anything; the practicality of having only the committed stay behind is completely reasonable, as far as Joshua's concerned. Those who don't want to be there are a potential liability in the best of situations, and their situation now could hardly be described as that. ]

[incinerates]

Thanks.

[ Sharp and erratic, like a firecracker in a garbage can. ]

Anyways. Where are you and the seniors weighing in on this?
