[The way this is such a hellacious puzzle to do once the border is finally finished.

He also starts working on finding border pieces. Funny enough, he slides them carefully over to Scien as he picks them out.]

They were mostly just a nuisance right? Or were they trying to... get in your way?

[egodist]

[scien just laughs quietly to himself when he finds ones that slot together.... local freak fucking loves puzzles]

There was a party that everyone got horrifically drunk at.

[WHY ARE THE DEAD SO STUPID]

As for anything relevant to the greater mystery of this ship, we made contact with Blake Walker who researched CEM waves before his death. Other communication with living members of the past Eudora tour can be found on HER-MES.

[SCIEN IS SO DAMN WEIRD. The way Viktor has simply accepted this weird ass behavior because it's at least not getting kicked in the head. The lil science man can have some puzzles.]

I assumed as much.

[About the drinking. THEY WERE SO MESSY!!!!!!!]

I read that, yes. I tried to pass on what I could when I got here, but... I did not remember the planet for some reason. I didn't even realize I had forgotten it until earlier. The lotus planet, I mean.

[egodist]

Oh...?

Then I imagine that's relevant—though we already assumed as much. I have heard something of a Worm Planet as well.

[like.... why]

[satisficing]

[He makes a face down at the puzzle pieces he's occasionally linking together.]

Worm Planet...? Is that where we're going next, or something...?

[egodist]

I heard it from this side...

Shouldn't you know more than me....?

[what is this PLOT]

[satisficing]

[He closes his eyes briefly, then opens them.]

You'd be surprised at how much had gone on I had to catch up with, but also how little people actually told me. I think I was just one big surprise.

[egodist]

So they're disorganized and foolish.

[scien really preferred the dead by the end as if the dead aren't also a huge mess]

[satisficing]

[The dead are also a huge mess, and he was a part of both. WHY!!]

They're... Well, so can't say. I think they are organized in the most disorganized way, if that makes sense. They were doing their best.

[egodist]

Supposedly, everyone does their best.

[he'll continue to work at the border pieces....]

That doesn't mean it ever amounts to their goals.

[satisficing]

You are a very harsh critic, and I would have despised having you as a professor at the Academy.

[He would have probably grown even faster, though. Places another edge piece over toward him.]

Not that what I did was disorganized...

[It was a lil. He was tidier than Jayce, though.]

[egodist]

There is a reason I am a researcher and not an instructor.

[that's for darling lucas.....]

I don't care about procedures, mostly, if the results are good enough.

[this comes with caveats, though. some procedures that are too inefficient and cause too much unnecessary sacrifice annoy him]

[satisficing]

The former Dean of the Academy would most certainly say that is a very fine and dangerous line to walk, I'm sure. And I would have agreed when I was his assistant.

But... having done some things in recent years...

[WELL, YOU KNOW. Playing with magic and technology and all that. Ashing the shit out of your assistant.]

I don't know. Sometimes, you have to push past the Academy ethos to find progress.

[egodist]

You do.

[easily,]

But again, it needs to be about results and efficiency. No unnecessary risks or sacrifice, or else it's just more wasteful than it is helpful.
