[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.

[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.
