[Public | Audio]

A couple of questions.

How good are the medical facilities at the hospital?

Who here can hold their breath a damn long time and help me have a look around the ship? [It's for more medical supplies]

[Private to Charles | Audio]

Loan me your brain for a minute. I have an idea I'd like to share. [And he's too paranoid to share everything over the network.]

[Humans do sometimes get a little funny about aliens. Hiding his identity because of fear isn't even really a lie, although it's not the entire truth.]

Understood.

[Again he thinks, trying to decide how much to say.]

The ship wasn't automated. I found records that show that there was definitely a crew. So logic dictates that the crew had to have access to medical resources somewhere. Whether or not they're accessible now is another matter, of course.

I figured. Could you check and see if the word "Salvation" appears in the records? [He's sure that it has something to do with the ship outside of crazy old woman rambling.]

Any place I could meet up with you to work this out?

Salvation is the name of the ship. Salvation and the Earth symbol for infinity.

[There's another hesitation. This time not because he's unsure how much truth to tell but because he's a bit humiliated about how poorly he's faring at low-tech survival.]

I mostly stay in the ship. I can meet you at the entrance.

I'll be right there. [And he takes off. One mystery down, five BILLION to go. But for now he wants to save the kid.]

[Narvin lurks just inside the entrance of the ship, waiting for Kay. He's mostly managed to keep himself fed and watered, thanks to labour trade with Edmund, but his hair is starting to look a bit wild and his clothes quite dirt stained and his appearance has become overall haggard. When he sees Kay he steps out to meet him.]

[Kay takes in that appearance as he approaches.] You look like life has been kicking the shit out of you, Tiger. [Kay? Doesn't look like he's a bit more out of shape than the last time Narvin saw him, but he adapts well.

He heads into the ship with him.] Is there any information on the ship that crashed first?

I'm not well suited to this sort of environment. [Too much nature, not enough technology. And no Leela to help him. He doesn't think he can survive like this indefinitely. He needs to get out of here, into the dome.]

The logs indicate that it was involved in a fire fight with another ship. That might be the second crashed ship, although it's not clear.

I need to figure it out. The more we know, better chance of getting the fuck out of here. [And it looked like this guy needed to get back home, whoever he was.]

Well, I need to look around for medical facilities on the ship. They're probably better than what the Authority will let those people have. [He nods back to the scant settlement.]

["Getting out of here" are like the magic words. Narvin decides to tell all he's found out and keep all of his options for escape open.]

There was a crew of eight. Strange malfunctions began to appear and the crew suspected that one of their number was committing sabotage. Suspicions were raised, accusations were hurled and in the end they turned on each other. The rest is encrypted. I haven't broken into those files yet.

I do, however, have a layout of the ship. I can call it up on one of the computer screens. Perhaps we can narrow down where a medical bay would most likely be located.

[Oh, hell, did Narvin just word barf at him? How long has he been holding back?]

Let's do that.

[But damn, he's curious now. But the kid is more important to finding out what goes on underneath the dome.] Look, that boy they're after, he's worse off than you are out here. If this thing is as advanced as it seems to be, there has to be a way to help someone with those sorts of immunity deficiencies. [Or at least the facilities to do what he has planned.]

I don't wanna go find him until I have something I can offer.

[Narvin's used to working with a team, or at least a partner. It's difficult being so completely on his own with no one to report to, or give orders to, or even just confer with.

He goes to one of the computer consoles and pulls up the ship's layout.]

If all else fails, I can try to activate one of the empty pods and put him in stasis. It's not a permanent solution, but it might keep him alive until one can be found.

That's a good option.

[And one that he will very much consider if the kid gets near death.] Hopefully we can get one of those things workin'.

I like having a backup plan.

[And he examines the layout and ponders where a medical station might be within this massive ship. Someplace easily accessible to the crew. Maybe near crew quarters or the central command station.]

Better than being caught with your pants around your ankles.

[He crosses his arms and waits for Narvin to go through his search.]

[Narvin fingers sputter on the screen at the...unusual idiom. Clears his throat.]

Quite.

[Then he finishes his search and points to a few spots on the map.]

I think these are the possible locations that are also most easily accessible for starting our search. If we find nothing there then we can start planning for more risky endeavours deeper in the ship.

I can only hold my breath for about ten minutes. Then we'll have to go back. [And he won't be talking much.]

Are you armed? Not that I expect to find anything hostile, but it is a mysterious alien space ship, and there are some species who would find airless darkness quite habitable.

[He reaches into the pockets he's added to his current coat, pulling out a blaster on one side, and a regular handgun he pilfered on the other.]

Yup.

[There wouldn't be a moment when he wasn't.]

Don't want to use the blaster unless I have to. [In case he needs to use the battery in it to power some of the medical equipment.]

Good. I'll stay close to you. [He's not embarrassed about getting protection from another. And he doesn't want to admit yet that he has a weapon.]

[That gets a little bit of a strange look, just because nothing seems to have nested in the ship so far despite it being gaping open (at least that he can tell), but a lot of people do opt to stay in Kay's protection.]

What places do you suspect?
