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.

[And here comes the responsible adult to ruin everyone's fun, and also attempt to ensure their survival.]

Can you do whatever you're planning from the inside of a spaceship.

[personal profile] seacub 2022-07-20 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Um...I don't know?

I think it'd be just as effective as if I was out in a space suit though so...I think I'd rather be in the ship at least?

[Well at least someone here understands the idea of relative safety!!]

I'm pretty sure Weather used his Stand from inside buildings before anyway... ...and well...he covered most of Florida that one time apparently...

...So as long as the ship isn't the size of Florida...

[Oh thank God the literal child is sensible.]

[...why is the literal child more sensible than Jolyne]

[Anyway.]


As someone who's lived on a spaceship before, getting one that's the size of an entire state is an undertaking. I doubt that's the case here.

[Plus, if they had that much aerial firepower, their tactics would be completely different. Glassed planets come to mind; at least this one has a chance.]

What do you need to be able to test it out?

If we can test it first, that would be great... [He sounds understandably relieved that it was even suggested.

This is the party braincell from Jolyne's crowd, Wash. He's been here for months.

He was the braincell when he was even younger,

I don't want anyone relying on something we don't know will work...

[Kid may have the brain cell, but he's still not answering the question at hand. Wash moves ahead anyway.]

We can probably get you on the next ship up to test it, but I can't promise it'll be safe - not when we don't know where where the enemy is cloaked. It might be a trial by fire.

[The implicit question is: will you be okay? Wash's time in Faerun taught him that kids from other dimensions can be a lot more combat capable than they seem, especially if Emporio has a Stand; that said, he's not about to throw him into danger if Emporio isn't both able to handle it and okay with it in the first place.]

Got it. I can work with that, [He answers, and it is telling, the quiet confidence that enters his words where there wasn't any.

It was not the same situation in the slightest, but at the very least, he has seen- experienced, certainly- comparable odds.
]

Worst case, I can make sure I'm not holding anyone back- things like oxygen levels, recycling the air...I can't do that long distance, but I can do that within the ship, for the ship, for example.
unrecovered: (Face: Uh-huh)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2022-07-20 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[The confidence is heard and noted. It's one thing to hear in words that the kid has handled some shit; it's something else to hear it in his tone. Wash trusts the tone more.]

If you can do that, anyone with half a brain would be thrilled to have you on their ship.

Where are you?
seacub: (AND NOW A PIPE TOO??)

[personal profile] seacub 2022-07-22 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, easy. I mean...we breathe in oxygen- or I guess, something made of it anyway- and then breathe out carbon di-oxide right? So I could still get the molecules needed to convert what's in the air around us into breathable air again.

Um- as for where I am, uh...

[He gives the location.]

...That's not too far right?
unrecovered: (Face: Uh-huh)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2022-07-24 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
I think you should be okay. If you can get to the nearest hangar safely, I'll meet you there. It's gonna take me a minute, though.

[Finding a transgate and crossing a war zone are now on his immediate to do list. No big deal, right?]
seacub: (AND NOW A PIPE TOO??)

[personal profile] seacub 2022-07-24 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I can do that! There's-

[A pained grimace.] ...I've had...a lot of resources on hand here.

But I can definitely get there. I'll see you there then! It...should be easy to see me?

...I'll probably be the only 12 year old at least.

You're amazing, Emporio. Seriously.

[And he really means it - this is the most impressive human he's ever met, and he's met some pretty impressive humans. Emporio still won't hold a candle to Achilles, though. Sorry kid.]
seacub: (: O)

[personal profile] seacub 2022-08-03 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Uh...I- I mean thanks? I'm just doing what I can so...

[Honestly, can anyone hold a candle to Achilles? No. The answer is No.]
