You didn’t have any questions about signing contracts you conveniently forgot about?
[ he’s just gonna lean over the bar and try and find a bottle of something that looks as full as possible. sometimes… you just need a drink. ]

That's a leap of logic I wasn't expecting. You think there's benefits to them messing with our eyes?

... Great. Any theories on how to get whatever's injected into us out of us?

So, sit around for eight weeks and hope no one does a full body hijack. Something like that?
[ that's somewhere right down the bottom of 'things he likes the sound of'. ]
No resources? You looked like you were asking a bunch of questions. They couldn't point you to a library or something?

Full body hijack or premature termination via death.
[scien does assume they can all be killed remotely]
Supposedly, they will give me some of the supplies I asked for before the next destination. However, those supplies are still only rudimentary. I'll need a lab, but I don't know if I trust their tech readings, so I would rather build my own.
[he said i WILL make things harder on myself]

[ yahoo! ]
You'd rather build your own lab. [ ... y'know what, sure! fine! ] Well, if they give you the stuff for it who knows, maybe you'll get the chance. Or maybe they'll just keep putting you off because you having a lab wasn't part of their plans.

Contracts seem important here. They probably have something in theirs about helping their juniors.
Well. Yeah? If you’re far enough down the chain and they’re paying your bills, who else are they going to answer to?
[ scien your privilege. ]

[ there’s a moment before he just looks strangely amused. just for a split second. ]
Ah, I get it.

[well, you're probably minding your own business, having a little walk throughout the ship.
and then it hits! with your next breath, there is a sudden, debilitating pain that rattles throughout your system. it starts in your chest and then spreads throughout your body, setting every nerve aflame as though every inch of you is being stabbed. the pain is constant, no alleviation, just a new burst of it with every breath you take.
and then the flicker disappears.
and scien is about three feet away, playing tetris on his I.R.I.S. one-handed. ]

[ well. first of all, ow. rude.
shu does falter a little at just how sudden and sharp that burst of pain is, especially when coming out of absolutely nowhere like that. the emotion sharing has been frequent enough now that he’s come to figure whatever isn’t his own emotions must be coming from whoever is nearby at the time. but the physical echoes? those have been rarer. and definitely not as intense as this one.
his eye scrunches a little, as he presses his hand to his chest like he expects it to come away coated in blood. he holds the hand there until the sensation flickers away, as if it was going to do anything to help. ]
…
[ ugh. ]
If that was from you, then I’m kind of impressed you’re not on the floor.

Sometimes I am, but not from the pain.
[JUST BECAUSE HE'S A LAZYASS!!! but he'll pause his tetris game now to glance up at shu]
It subsides quickly enough in others I've noticed, but if you don't want to endure it again, I'd suggest keeping your distance.

[ no. he swoops in for a really awkward hu-- no, he doesn't. ]
Sympathy to your roommate.
[ because yikes. ] What is it? Feeling like you're constantly mid-heart attack can't be normal.

Are you just passing out in corridors...?
[ well.
at this point he's pretty sure scien's a cryptid so. this is fine. ]
A side-effect.
