Well SecUnit, the selfie is a nice gesture but Erin has not gotten fucking eyes yet, you glorious friend-shaped bot.

Understood. Iron nullifies my powers. No steel. No alloys. Nothing purified. A chunk of ore will do. Cast iron or pig iron will do. It can block my enhanced strength and cut through my armor.

She doesn't have to ask about the gesture. This one...this one she knows.

I don't know where to get any on the ship. But I will remember that.

A tiny pause.

This sucks.

[crushed_pearls]

Tell me about it. My murder boner has balls like a fucking Smurf. Wanted to take out the Giles copy. Did not. Cannot confirm that the imposter is not using the original body. Would be very bad to have murdered my friend in that event.

Has anyone mentioned to you that people on this ship don't stay dead when they die, yet?

[crushed_pearls]

Been brought up. You have lasers. Lasers cauterize their own wounds. Everything I have hurts the entire time that you die.

[serialskiller]

If it becomes a situation where you're considering that fact with regard to me, please don't consider that fact.

Would her stuff be worse than bleeding out on a not!forest floor during the battle royale after getting peppered with shotgun spray by Max? Who knows?

Who cares?

[crushed_pearls]

Considering it is one of my jobs. When people get back up it does matter how you kill them. Normal dead people do not get to bitch and moan about how they died. But don't worry about my nerve. If it comes to it your request will be honored as best I can.

You are my friend too. My consideration is not negotiable.

[serialskiller]

Oh.

Okay.

It's just going to quietly have an emotion while it suits up into its armor.

[crushed_pearls]

I need to get back to work. Stay in touch. Please be safe.

- The possessing spirits felt they had an opportunity to take a body. They may have chosen bodies that resonate with themselves somehow.
- They're ghosts from previous voyages, the specters who've been around the ship.
- They do have the ability to access memories from their hosts.
- They're trying to bring back others they cared about, from their voyages. Or at least that's the stated goal of one of them, but I imagine others may be doing the same. Some were mentioned by name: Sarah and Billy and Traci.
-- Sarah in particular was noted to be kind, to befriend everyone.
- They're struggling with their own memories to some degree.
