Enemy Unknown: Comms
Talk to All
Talk to Team
Talk to Individual
For the third option, a list of passengers appears and names can be searched for by letter. Anyone who has been working to try and make communications happen on their own devices will find those linked in to this network- though it is still only possible to use voice. If they have headphones from the music room they can make it so they work like earpieces.
The comms are a bit crackly. They cannot reach those who have vanished.

[No doubt he'll be in sight soon]
I would deem it a suppression of oneself. And very unpleasant.
[Someone else might be a bit grumpy too even if he hides it better ]
no subject
Unpleasant is a polite term for it. It's horrible. Things like this usually means nothing good.
no subject
It goes without saying it bodes ill for this mission. I'm used to the--
[There is a very short pause before Elidibus changes what he was about to say.]
I'm used to being restricted in some ways, but this level is stifling.
[He was not at all about to mention possession related matters while offering out his wrist with the SCA toward Jingyi. Nope.]
no subject
... Used to some restrictions already? Train given ones?
( He holds up the device to point it at the SCA on Elidibus's wrist. Obligingly, it chirrups a sweet little beeeeeeep. Displaying a question now for if Elidibus wishes to be set as VISITOR status. Jingyi turns the scanner around so the guy can read the green screen. )
Select your fate.
( Here's a half-assed grin for the attempt at humour. Be a visitor, Elidibus. )
no subject
[He holds out his wrist obligingly, as he did volunteer for this experiment.]
By all means, continue.
[There's even a faint smile in response to the attempt at humor. After all accepting it and focusing on the results of this experiment will surely move the conversation away from the details of what sort of restrictions Elidibus has faced before.]
no subject
( Said nonchalantly, because at that point: whatever, Immortals can exist, and none of them really look old, unless they're not really Immortals? Most people don't hit that mark, he thinks, so why be worried?
Either way, the screen shifts to state SCA REGISTERED AS VISITOR to Elidibus, shifting his status with no other fanfare. )
Though if we're feeling like this, I don't imagine it's going to get any better when we get past that door.
( Which, while he doesn't know it, is something they can now do. )
no subject
[Or well, that SOMEONE present is technically riding around in a former corpse no matter how functional it is now. When the scanner completes its task, Elidibus doesn't explode. Yay! The status of "VISITOR" thus registered, he'll look at the locked entry point.]
I'll see if this gains us entry.
[Fortunately he's not the type to jinx things by saying something more. And since he wanders over and the doors are willing to grant him access.... problem solved?]
It seems to be the solution. ...Odd. Well no matter. Pray inform everyone to gather so we may use the device to enter.
no subject
( He shivers, imagining people spontaneously aging to what, dust? Bodies aren't meant to last hundreds of years in general, that's something even rocks don't manage undamaged. )
Not to say I don't trust weird and unsuspecting answers, but I don't trust weird things that crop up out of nowhere like this. There's got to be something else that's going to block us once we're through...
( A pause, and he quirks up his eyebrows. )
Can't you?
( Then he cups his hands around his mouth and shouts: )
Hey, Voidtreckers! Get to the doors we can't open, we've found a way through!
( Yes, this means people also have him yelling through the SCA he never turned off. You're all welcome. )
Sliding in here late
[His ears are still ringing a little. Ouch.]
While we're sharing discoveries, I've found a map of the stars. Think this might be important?
[He turns on his video for everyone to see the map, holding it up to the SCA camera so everyone can see it.]
... hey, wait a minute, this map matches the corridor I just walked through! This is where we came in, and this is where I turned down one of the forks in the hall... and this is where I am now. [He follows the line of stars with a finger to illustrate.] Anyone near one of these big, bright stars willing to poke their head in and see what it's about? I'm going to keep exploring in the meantime.
bless, and there is no such thing as late
( He sounds zero percent apologetic for the shouting, it's one way to get attention, so why not work with what he's got to bring to the table? )
Hey, bring it to the closed doors? People can look at it here then see if it matches anything they see, or find on the other side, right?
no subject
[Zagreus wants to keep go! Why no keep go??]
Sure, I'll meet you there and drop it off, then I'll keep exploring. What's behind those doors, mate? Don't leave us in suspense.
no subject
( he sounds so confused right now, but that's because. the station is large, and even the arrivals area was pretty big, let alone whatever was beyond it, so to speak )
Video -> Action
[Enticing him with more exploring is definitely the way to go here.
Zagreus comes jogging up with the map in hand.]
All right, how do we get through this door? And is it just me, or do you two feel less... godly than normal, too?
no subject
jingyi blinks before he frowns. )
Ugh, yes. This is like running around wearing invisible qi-binding rope, it's annoying. I can't even shift!
( this actually offends him, as it's suppressing part of his inherent nature even more than the train itself does. )
Anyway, I'm not sure, how do the doors read the SCA?
( he looks to elidibus, holding his arm up and out towards says doors while the scanner is in his other hand. he's not quite close enough for the doors to register, so this is an exaggerated pointing. )
Sorry I seemed to have lost track of this!
Simply approaching them will suffice, once you've registered your SCA to the scanner as a visitor.
[Elidibus picks up these techy terms pretty easily. It's not his fault that his world is a hybrid stock fantasy and science conglomeration!
...
...
It's Emet-Selch's]There are devices in the door itself which will be able to detect and read the SCA.
[He steps closer to demonstrate the principle. Sure enough even without raising his arm to wave it about, as Elidibus draws near the doors register his presence and start signaling that they will be opening.]
no subject
Oh, wow! Brilliant job there, Elidibus mate. Can you register me next?
[And he'll hold out his SCA-clad arm to get that registered!]
Here's the map I found, by the way. [He'll hold it out for someone to take with his other arm.] I'll take a look around at those brighter stars, see what can be found in them. Surely they must be important, if they've been laid out like this on a map?
no subject
Does that mean more doors in this place are going to do that?
( Still peering at that map, but only taking it now, squinting at the constellations. )
You said this part's what it's like out here, so... they have to mean something. Maybe where whoever's missing would be more likely to have been found? Power storing locations? Do places like this store power.
( he extends the map to Elidibus, shaking his head. )
no subject
...What a fanciful design. [Does it not have legend? There will be a faintly annoyed frown about this.]
I suppose they should be investigated. I would find it hard to believe a place like this does not have a reserve power system, if only to continue supporting life in emergencies.
[Being a space station and all.]
But if they are places to store power, I doubt they'd be marked so readily on a map anyone could come across. Perhaps something else but I agree they are worthy of investigating. Shall we recruit others to do so?
no subject
[One quick snap of the camera button on the SCA, and he has a portable map of his very own!]
I'll let you know what I find, Elidibus mate!
[And Zagreus runs off toward the nearest 'star', eager to have somewhere new to explore.]

[Trust Elidibus to point out the obvious. Also trust him to calmly remove his earpiece the moment it becomes apparent that Jingyi is going to shout across the hangar.]
It seems you're not aware that your communication channel was still open.
no subject
( said after yelling. what's a channel? he's never heard it called that in a way where it held meaning before right now. )
Is that related to the SCA?
no subject
[Please insert a small tutorial on the communication device, how to turn it on and off and the like here. Elidibus does turn out to be a pretty decent teacher even. He's had a lot of practice.]
no subject
Meaning he does turn off his SCA when they're in place, but leaves his earpiece in place to not worry about it. )
Still wish you could talk at the thing to tell it who you want to speak to, instead of look through the whole list, though...
no subject
I see, a fair point. Well perhaps it is something you can suggest to the feedback when we return.
