What is being done with regards to repairing the ship? Or perhaps more importantly, supplying power to the remaining pods.

[He's also curious about just what's happening with forming a defence against the Outer Authorities. But, paranoia. Even with those locks, he doesn't trust them to keep the OA out.]

Shepard. A word.

[It's been a long time since he actually wrote in Hebrew. So instead of embarrassing himself, he switches to voice, despite being just as out of practice here.]

Ani okhel aruhat ha'boker be'shmone.

[Pause. He's still not completely convinced about this, but he's not ready to shy away.]

…machar. Yesh-li rav.

There's a man here named Elliot Fox. He may be of some interest to you, attitude included. He has a certain affinity with fire.

[It'd be so easy to just cut off there and go back to avoiding everybody and pretending that nothing's wrong. But if he ever plans on getting back home, he knows he needs to try and set aside as many of his other issues as he can. And first off, that means actually sitting down and talking to Charles again.]

Chess may not be an option this time, but I think we need to talk.


ooc; HUGE apologies if I've gotten things wrong up there. A whole heap of searching/checking/doublechecking and this is the best I could come up with. Please feel free to correct me if I've screwed up!

You can't defend yourself with "hope". We need to find a way to ensure their safety; whether it's by waking them early or by keeping the ship from being attacked in the first place.

[timesbureaucrat]

Even if we could wake up everyone in the ship, there could be thousands of them, hundreds of thousands. Where would we get the resources to feed them? Shelter them? We don't have the infrastructure to support that kind of sudden population surge.

[lehnsherr]

Perhaps waking them all isn't an option. But would you rather lose every one of them instead of making the attempt?

[Not that he actually cares about most of them. But with Charles here, with those two alternate versions as well, he doesn't want to risk losing more of their kind through negligence.]

[timesbureaucrat]

I think our priorities are better spent elsewhere. If the Authorities really wanted the ship destroyed they'd be bombing it hourly. So long as the power supply remains secure, the others are probably safer in the pods than they are out here.
