Russel: give official notice

[all in anon-grey text through a vague and mysterious secure server] [@toomanydamnhelmsmen]

Dear Mx. Nweike:

I send this letter in the h-pes that it finds y-u in g--d health and high spirits, but it is my s-rry duty t- inf-rm y-u that the laws -f the Alternian g-vernment yet apply t- seadwellers such as y-urself. I d- h-pe y-u were sitting d-wn f-r that revelati-n.

My name is Tsuud- Niihmn, and I believe I have the s-luti-n t- y-ur pr-blem. I kn-w y-u want t- keep any-ne fr-m learning -f y-ur illegally* acquired IPH (Intelligence Pr-cessing Helm). Luckily f-r y-u, I happen t- have all evidence -n the matter st-wed safely in my back p-cket. -f c-urse, I’ll need s-me materials t- keep it all in my p-ssessi-n. We can neg-tiate the exact price later, but h-w d-es en-ugh m-ney t- buy my -wn ship and live c-mf-rtably f-r the rest -f my life s-und t- y-u?

Y-u may c-ntact me at any time via this c-nnecti-n. Y-u will n-t alert law enf-rcement t- this message. Y-u will n-t attempt t- hunt me d-wn. If at any p-int I bec-me dissatisfied with -ur w-rking relati-nship, any agreement will be terminated, and y-u will c-me t- kn-w the tender ministrati-ns -f t-p interr-rgat-rs.

Please n-te that it is entirely t-- late t- save y-urself sh-uld y-u either g- thr-ugh -fficial channels -r disp-se -f the helm quietly. I already have everything I need. Incidentally, if y-u sh-uld happen t- c-nsider empl-ying the service -f individuals with symb-lheights, say, Musca -r N-rma in any m-re sensitive matters, take my advice: d-n’t.

If y-u have any c-mplaints, y-u may take them up with y-ur l-cal representative.

-h, and give the helm my regards?

Sincerely,

agamemnonsTabernacle

*This is technically redundant. There is n- legal way t- acquire an IPH. D-n’t even b-ther trying t- fudge the paperw-rk.

Liamah intrigues me… you should talk about them.

omg who are you ily

liamah is over 100 sweeps old and spent 90 of those sweeps as a high-ranking intelligence officer. she used to be good at what she did, but shes always had an ego which…. is a big problem when you’re in intelligence.

she got to where she was through blackmail and lies and eventually she got to thinking that she was invincible, could do whatever she wanted without consequence. the last person she tried to get rid of she underestimated, saw what she was doing before it was too late. they were able to plan an escape. this led to a fall from grace that led to her commanding a mostly worthless outpost.

before she would have used the opportunity of being unobserved to amass information and resources, but at this point she’s too obsessed with her failures and the people who have wronged her and how she deserves more and better blah blah blah

its russel who handles most of her responsibilities at the moment, and liamah remains ignorant of how little influence she herself has on the station.

=> GALENA: RECEIVE A BLAST FROM YOUR FLANNEL-FILLED PAST

[courtlyanode]

-> nuh-week-ay.

-> and legality has a funny way of not meaning shit when you’re a seadweller

-> call it a perk

Somewhere in the background, you hear Selene snort. You’ll have to get on his ass later about appropriate emotions to express, you’ve both been trained better and are damn well expected to act like it. Besides, you never know who’s watching or listening in. There’s cameras everywhere. Maalik’s vain and appearance-obsessed but he’s not stupid.

-> you have a cupe

-> do you want to sleep in it? 

[aio6]

“Nuh-week-ay,” you mutter. “Lena, you don’t undesta-stahnd, I was-”

And you cut yourself off with a piercing scream. Looks like the Pan Nanny didn’t stay behind in the station. You gape and wheeze like a fucking fish out of water and wibble like a wriggler.

“Sleep. Sle-slee-sleep sounds nice. Sorry. I’m sorry.”

## Russell, are relationships important to you? Does it matter if they're platonic or romantic? What would you consider your most important relationship right now?

-f c-urse relati-nships are imp-rtant t- me. Friendships and r-mances are imp-rtant t- all tr-lls. I enj-y having pe-ple t- trust.

My m-st imp-rtant relati-nship right n-w is with the tr-ll wh- kept me here against my will. F-r certain definiti-ns -f relati-nship, -bvi-usly.

[aio6]

## Russell, tell us about your job. What do you do? How did you get it? Is it what you thought it would be?

There were five -f us when we left planet, all shitbl--ds and psi-nics. My matesprit stayed behind with her m-irail. I’d been l--king int- Imperial security c-des and cust-ms. I th-ught I had it planned. Admin. Anglerjaw, h-wever

t--k an interest in my skills.

I w-rk as her pers-nal assistant. I d- whatever she w

needs me t- d-.

H-nestly, this is ab-ut what I expected when she pulled us in.

[aio6]

## Russell, tell us about your time on Alternia! Did you have many friends? Any quadrants? Did you enjoy it?

There isn’t much t- tell. I had a garden. I had a clade. Y-u’ll excuse me if I’m s-reluctant t- reminisce ab-ut the-

ab-ut the dead.

There were seven -f us -n planet, including myself and three quadrants. I spent a l-t -f time fiddling with ~ATH c-des.

It was nice.
