[It comes on the network like an intrusive thought -- because it is. Because Shinjiro can't sleep, even with all the talk of distracting activities like movies and pumpkin carving and costume parties. (Where do you even get costumes on a spaceship, anyway?)

Because he can't stop thinking about what Olexa said in that building, at the end. Would you die trying to get that stone back? Cheri's motivations were selfish, but then, aren't theirs too? So-Yeon's hadn't been, and while she'd surrendered the orb, what if she hadn't? What about the next mission?]

do you think the orb is worth killing people for

[Unshackled, huh. That's an interesting term. He's a little curious about that. Still:]

well, that's what i was asking, more or less
so thanks

do we have any other ways to get back if she decides it's the orb or bust?

Not that I'm aware of, but if all of our scientific minds get together maybe we can come up with something.
I think it's a good idea to try finding an alternative no matter what. We shouldn't rely on Viv.

[Now, if it was EDI, that would be different. But he doesn't know this AI and he doesn't really trust her at the moment. Or the commanding officer]

[petsthedog]

probably yeah
i was barely passin science when i was still in school but you need someone to carry shit i could do that

Hopefully the other scientifically-minded are willing to help out. I have a little tech knowledge, but not a lot.
