So it is hurting them... [Nyeh. He'd known that, kind of, but hearing confirmation is--not good, exactly, but good information to have.] If it's working, then I think you'll just have to keep at it. It's not the most efficient method, but it's the best we've got under the circumstances.
Yeah. It's been getting worse over the weeks. I'm pretty sure it's because of the wetware they all have. [ dislikey. ] It's migraines mostly, but parts of their body get tense, too. It's working, and they acknowledge it is, so we just have to be careful how much is too much at a time.
[This tag truly sent me on such a journey I hate it here]
I think that's a good plan. Pushing too hard won't get us answers any faster. [Also it would like. Hurt them or whatever. He does care about that, but his priorities have been their crew since the start, and that hasn't changed.]
You guys should make sure you share with each other, too. Someone might've found or seen something important, but not realized it.

[ I'M SORRY. ]
Yeah, exactly. We take what we can get and move from there. Try other routes if we need something faster. [ but he nods. ] Shu and I were talking about maybe trying to get people together just to get everyone up to speed, but that was a while ago. Maybe that's something to bring up with other people and get us organized, too.
[ luke does not get to know because it's wednesday but yuri and shoma also discussed holding a town hall soon...someday... ]

[ NO!!!!! a long pause. ]
Luke, do you normally know how to speak French.

[ as people settle in, he does seek out luke later when things are quieter. ]
...there's a lot of this ship you never really got to see, huh?
...there's a lot of this ship you never really got to see, huh?
...wow. I haven't heard this song in ages. [ SORRY HE IS NOW DISTRACTED. ]
[ lifting an eyebrow. ]
Tried hacking into them?
Tried hacking into them?
I always meant to and never got around to it. I had my own projects I was working on. [ so honestly no. ]
Maybe that's a tomorrow project. I've finished up a bunch of the stuff I've been working on recently. [ but...hum. ]
Were you guys able to see us in the ballroom on Thursday?
Were you guys able to see us in the ballroom on Thursday?
Sounds good. I'm sure you have a lot of people you want to talk to tonight anyway.
[He's very happy to see Shoma and chat with him, but he knows they barely knew each other and Luke did not send messages for... reasons... don't worry about it.
He nods!!]
Yeah, we were.
[He's very happy to see Shoma and chat with him, but he knows they barely knew each other and Luke did not send messages for... reasons... don't worry about it.

Yeah, we were.
Those people can wait. I've got plenty of time and I'm talking to you anyway. [ which is to say that yeah, they barely know each other, but at the same time he doesn't seem to particularly mind. a good handful of people he knows better have spoken highly of luke anyway. ]
Then you heard what Aiba said about what this ship's going to do next.

[HELP he laughs at that, scratching his cheek.]
I can't argue with that.
[But, ah... well. Thursday was... complicated... but Luke is always paying attention to the important stuff, so unsurprisingly, he nods, his expression turning grim and serious.]
Something's taken control of the ship, and it plans on heading to our worlds after the next stop, right?
I can't argue with that.

[ i'm scared what that means for you guys but that's okay. he seems to be settling into this line of conversation easily, just as seriously. ]
Right, exactly. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't say that sounds like a good thing.

[Plot talk now? Plot talk now. The workaholic geniuses truly never stop.]
I was able to get us an interferometer over there and take a closer look at the CEM waves. Is any of this new to you?
[tl;dr he will explain what he did and say that he learned:
- CEM waves are some kind of element that can be measured by wavelength and frequency
- different wavelengths do different things, basically the potential to change shit is possibly limitless
- upon added research and knowledge, they can see the living component in the waves
- the living component is eldritch af so the biology is incomprehensible
- it is capable of masking itself to be unseen]
Sidon mentioned he thought the CEM waves might be coming from the creature itself. And given that there's a heart and a brain down there, I'm willing to bet this is all pieces of the same puzzle.

Yeah, Eunhyuk said you built a lot of stuff over on that side which I kinda wish you were able to bring it over just to see the work. [ but he listens...and he frowns softly. ]
I've been working off of the assumption that there's some kind of parasite that's attached itself to this ship. And we were able to decode your guys' message about the lotus planet. So, yeah, it's likely that this thing was picked up from that planet and has been hanging on and consuming things from other planets as the Eudora's been in flight, and it's been getting stronger. There were some items available to us that allowed us to see flesh on the walls and bones around the ship, and the pink haze is all around us to hide everything. It wouldn't surprise me if Sidon was right and the CEM waves were coming from the creature itself. The storm we cleared out on Thursday came from a source that was pretty monsteresque, so...it is a possibility.
So then the question becomes "how do we kill it."
