[After two hours, give or take, the doors open. The computerized voice makes an announcement:]

Life support is fully operational throughout the ship. Bridge crew, please proceed to the bridge to view the full damage report.

((Characters are free to explore the ship. I'll answer whatever questions are posed to the computer, but it doesn't get replies so poke me if I don't seem to notice. o/

ETA: Assume the engine room is locked off for now!))

I'm going to. It's just not easy to talk about, and now isn't the time.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

[Nods reluctantly.]

...fine. Just what they need to know to get the computer running again, for now. The rest can wait.

[court_chesster]

Okay. I'll do my best.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Who were they all, anyway?

[court_chesster]

It's kind of fuzzy. I think the serious guy in red was the captain and the other two guys in blue are the medical officer and engineer... which makes the two-colored-hair guy the navigator?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

[Thinks it over and nods slowly.]

It's going to be hard for some of them to fulfill their duties without remembering anything.

[court_chesster]

We should see how much the computer can do on its own. It's got to be pretty sophisticated if it can talk to us like that.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

The voice is the computer?

I thought it was these.

[He indicate the screen with the map.]

[court_chesster]

That's a screen. The voice is coming out through speakers.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

[Looks like he's about to ask about the speakers, but... more important things.]

...right. Anyway, you're right. Whatever the voice - the computer - can help us with until we get our bearings, we should take advantage of it.

[court_chesster]

[nods]

It's got to have some kind of auto-pilot. None of us should be touching anything while we're in this state.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Agreed. I don't want us breaking anything vital.

[He taps the screen with the map, touching the engine room.]

We need to do something about this, though.

[court_chesster]

Hopefully it can walk us through how to fix it.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

[Nods.]

It seems to have a lot of information.

Computer... Do you know how to fix the damage in the room in red?

[ima_npc]

Diagnostics are in progress.

[court_chesster]

That means "maybe."

[whenitrainsitstorms]

I know what it means to diagnose something.

[A beat. Then, like he's reluctant to admit it:]

I've forgotten a lot of how this works, though. The computer, and the...

[Makes a vague gesture toward technology.]

[court_chesster]

Y-yeah, that was pretty obvious... I mean honestly, I started getting concerned when you couldn't remember what a dog was...

[whenitrainsitstorms]

[Spends just a beat too long silent, worrying it over and thinking about conclusions he doesn't like.]

I'll try to catch up as fast as I can.

[court_chesster]

[nods]

Been thinking about what you want to be called?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

A little. So far, I only know what I don't want.

[court_chesster]

'Stormy'?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Add that to the list.

[court_chesster]

What else is on it?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

"Shaggy."

[Nooot telling you the third.]
