two boys, one chat, hey vivs 👋

[webdesigned]

( once Peter has properly met up with Erik, they both hit Viveca up via a voice chat for some hardhitting questions.

maybe not hardhitting. but definitely questions. )

Hey, um... Viveca? Should I not assume we are on first name basis? Sorry. ( Peter, get to the question!!! ) Uh, we were just wondering — do you have a log, anywhere, of past missions? So we can share with newcomers, look through old orb-grabs, that sort of thing?

hey pete, hey n'jadaka 👋

[vivecai]

[ the response he gets sounds like someone who is incredibly amused and trying very hard not to sound that way. ]

First name basis is fine. Just don't go making up weird nicknames for me and we're good.

[ as for the question — ]

Yes, of course. I have all the past mission files of the current team available for you in the database. You'll find all the information about the land, the orb there and what actions the team took to obtain it.

👋🏿

[ his gaze flickers over the room before settling on her. he slumps a little in his posture, nonchalant and perfectly casual. ]

Sure thing, Viv.

So what else do you log that we can access? Outside of that.

it occurs to me it helps to tell our modlies we are happy to go peter > viv > erik > viv!!

[webdesigned]

That's great, Vivvvvvvv....eca. Viveca. Definitely wasn't going straight into a nickname after you just told me no nicknames. For sure. ( apparently even talking to computerized girls, Peter is a mess. ) Wait, even from old teams? Which piggybacks onto, were there old teams? Before us?

And yeah. What Erik said.

( SORRY TO INTERRUPT PAL!! )

got it! 💪

[vivecai]

I can deal with Viv, but that's it.

[ said with the tone of someone who's definitely had to deal with way more than that. ]

I think I said "current team" rather clearly. Right now, there's not much to access, as you've only collected two orbs, but it'll grow with time.

Aside from that, you can access your own information. Anything that has to do with the station, how it's maintained, or other members of the team is restricted.

Re: got it! 💪

[webdesigned]

I can do Viveca. Viveca. You can call me Pete if you wanna even the terrible nickname odds. That feels fair.

( huh. only current team members? It piggybacks another thing he's been wondering. )

How long do they qualify as a team member? Can we still read up on things after someone's gone home? While I'm at it, is there a way to confirm people are sent home, because people keep disappearing and I am trying really hard not to imagine them floating in the endless void of space.

[vivecai]

Yes, you should be able to see the names of everyone who has been a part of your team on the list. They will show up as grey in the database if they have left the team. I'd imagine that's an easy way to check if they've left, too, but you can always ask me too.

[ so while they won't be able to access any personal information, they will be able to see the directory of current and former team members, with the former team mates marked in grey. ]

[scarcastically]

[ conversationally: ]

But it isn't exactly confirmation of anything. We don't really know if they're home or if they're floating in the ether.

Like this ain't proof of anything.

[vivecai]

Yes, and I could show you them, living comfortably in their homes, and you'd accuse me of it being a simulation, or an alternate timeline, or something else.

[ equally conversationally: ]

I'm sure trust is a foreign concept to you, Erik, but that's really all I can offer you. If you don't trust me, it doesn't matter what I tell you, or how I try to convince you... you won't believe me anyway.
