[He at least takes a moment to sip the water that was retrieved for him.]

What... the hell was all of that exactly?

[expiries]

...I still don't understand the exact process they used to bring you back. Science isn't my strong suit.

[satisficing]

[He reaches up to rub his temple a bit. What the FCK.]

It was... I can't begin to... describe it. Returning. It was... It was like...

...Fleshy.

[expiries]

[FLESHY NOOOOOO]

...I see. I - apologize that it was unpleasant. [...] May I ask you a favor?

[satisficing]

[FLESHY NOOOO YOU YELL AS YOU SAW IT IN REAL TIME]

It's... surprisingly familiar.

[He glances up.]

Sure...?

[expiries]

[i also hate that fleshy is familiar for whatever reason someone help viktor]

Whoever you invite to see you tonight... Can you refrain from telling them I was here?

[satisficing]

[i learned the truth, you are forgiven, my son. sometimes things are fleshy and familiar.]

Yes. [Peers at him.] Do you... work closely with someone from the senior crew?

[expiries]

...Yes, you could say that. But I'd like that to remain secret as well.

[satisficing]

[This actually seems to amuse him a little.]

That's okay. I understand. I figured, so... I did not have any intentions to say anything.

[expiries]

Mm. I assume you had knowledge that people were working with the senior crew, then? I wasn't sure whether all of you knew or not.

[satisficing]

I know of one other. Being cautious isn't a bad thing. I don't mind.

[expiries]

...Interesting.

[...]

I imagine you'll be swarmed with questions when you're rested and able to leave, so I'll at least leave those for now.

[satisficing]

[He laughs a bit.]

Well, you were the first. You can ask if you want. I... can't promise my brain won't turn to mush when I try to answer, though, knowing this place.

[expiries]

...If you begin to feel more faint, I'll stop asking you at once.

[pausing...]

What was it like, over there?

[satisficing]

[He nods. So far, he feels alright. Well, outside of the usual.]

Um. Fleshy. Giant rats.

[expiries]

I... had heard about the rats. Yes.

[whymst.]
