Zari wasn't too sure about everything, the newer girl seemed a bit strange to her, but that didn't matter as everyone else headed off after her, and despite what Sophia had said, Zari didn't want to go back up the pipe to deal with Cal at all. "Hey don't leave me behind!" she called after them, before racing out of the Atrium and to the Galley in order to potentially see what was going on. Of course heading off towards the chaos sounds and someone threatening to kill everyone wasn't probably a good thing, but she didn't want to be left behind.

Sparky was more then a little bit annoyed with what it was that Raynor was saying or how he was more of acting. He didn't seem to be fine with letting her do what she wanted, and it annoyed her to no end. That was why she ended up storming off like that, since she wanted him to flat out accept that he couldn't control her actions or whatever she did. She had expected the group to follow after her into the chaos, and she just glanced around the room at the others who were in her own group. "Oh, found some other people by the way," she commented nonchalantly to them with a bit of a shrug.

Following after the others, she poked her head into the Galley, and Zari's mind started freaking out at the chaos that was ensuing. Someone was bleeding out, and someone else was waving a knife around, threatening everyone else. "...What's going on?" she asked as Sophia instantly went to obtain a first aid kit from the replicator machine thingy, and went to see what she could do to help the injured guy. Her words about him needing a transfusion was a bit problematic. Who the hell was going to remember (or pay attention to really) what their blood types were? Then there was what Raynor did, and it definitely freaked her out a little bit, but she figured that it was probably for the best that that dude was dead. "...Guess that's a good thing maybe?" she said, a little unsure of what she was saying regarding it. It probably was a good thing since the guy was a threat, but still, it probably wasn't right to kill someone like that.

Lana didn't even flinch when Raynor entered the room and killed the guy who had been waving the knife around, almost as if she was around death a lot in her life, the life that she couldn't remember of course. Paying attention to what was going on, she noticed Raynor's injury on his arm, and rolled her eyes at him. "Of course you couldn't do that without getting yourself hurt, seriously," she commented as she went over to the first aid kit that Sophia had and grabbed a few things before going over and attempting to stop the bleeding. It took her a moment, and the injury didn't really want to stop bleeding, but after a few moments it did. "Try not to get yourself killed."

Cal buried her forehead into her hand, letting out a deep, shaky sigh. It was a mournful one, one of sorrow, but also of stress. What had happened was no doubt a tragedy, but they couldn't afford to dwell on it. If they spent too much time wallowing in their loss, then it wouldn't take long for the corpses to start piling up. So, as much as it pained the empathetic woman, they had to focus on the task at hand and honor their dead later. Some part of her was sure that the sudden sense of pragmatism was a coping mechanism to keep the painful memories away, but she didn't linger on this line of thought. Instead, she took a deep breath, and looked over to Tessa.

"Tess, could you run back over to the Galley and get us a bunch of green liquid? Maybe if we dump it down there on Noah, the bots will assume it was Y2K who fell over the edge. It sounds insensitive, but...it might keep them off our backs for a bit," Cal said, her lips curled into a frown. She then leaned over, putting a hand on Y92-6's shoulder and looking them in the eye, her voice suddenly softer. "Are you gonna need painkillers for the operation, or...is pain something you don't have to deal with anymore?"

Time: +7:45 hrs
Location: Space, a very far way from Earth

Manny nodded and pulled the steak knife that he had kept from their experimenting earlier out of the towel he had wrapped it in and awkwardly shoved into his waistline. "You sure Y?" Manny shortened the robot's name further.

They only nodded but glanced at Cal "That's a good idea. You can throw the limiter down too at that time. They might sense that and ignore the rest of the evidence. I don't know about pain. I can't really eat pain pills though so I will handle it." They looked back at Manny, nodded, and knelt down to make it easier for the guy to access their neck.

Tessa started off back the way the group had come. "I'll go with you." Gordon said following after her. She gave him a nod and smile and the two hurried off. Gordon would have a good idea of what liquid could be used since he was a cook.

Meanwhile, Manny started a gentle cut into the back of Y's neck. His hand was steady. The military and medical experience he had pre-space was clearly helping the situation. He was probably the best choice out of the group to be doing the unusual surgery.

It took a few minutes and was messy. Manny had Luke hold the towel near the cut to keep the green fluid from going all down Y's back. Tessa and Gordon weren't back by the time he had finished though. Y was shaking a little, but it was not from pain. There was relief written on their face. "Thank you." They whispered out a gentle sigh.

With the threat dealt with the group that belonged to Sector Two seemed to relax a little. One of their numbers had found help somehow. They didn't know how, but they were thankful. There were now three dead of the twelve that had woken in Sector Two and one was fading that direction. Even with the attention given to him he probably wouldn't survive another thirty minutes at best without the transfusion. Lucky for him there was one person who was medically trained. She went to the machine and was able to figure out what was needed. She also knew that there was universal donor blood. With that information, she set up the guy with a transfusion. The woman, dark hair and dark-skinned, worked calmly and efficiently.

The Roomba continued its futile task.

Sophia took a step back letting the woman do her work on the wounded guy, she wasnt even sure what had set the guy off to go on a stabbing spree. She turned around wincing slightly seeing the body of the killer now on the ground as well, she looked over towards the others in the group seemed to be calming down. "Hi, my name is Sophia I am sorry that you all witnessed this." She said trying to avoid looking at the bodies of the dead that were in the room, while the roombas helplessly just tried to clean away the blood. Sophia went over towards Zari gently resting a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you doing alright Zari?" Sophia asked her, she watched as Lana tended to Raynor's injury she was glad that he was able to get some help. She couldnt help but start to worry about Vinnie as well her cousin was alone with the alien at the moment with some of the others as well to. "We are from another room, we managed to escape from which looks similar to where we were. Is there anything weird or anything odd that you found in your rooms also what are all of your names and do you guys remember anything?" Sophia could help but ask.

Vinnie frowned a bit, something in Cal's plan didn't quite add up to her. The aliens had to have cameras or something to monitor them at all times. They would know that Noah... She didn't want to voice the thought. They would see Y2K at some point, even if the robot was supposedly dead at the bottom. Was there a blindspot in the cameras? Could they just hide Y2K in the pipes, even though that had nearly killed Luke earlier? She bit her lip and paced back and forth for a minute, filled with jitters and nerves. Nothing was making sense. Nothing was safe. She couldn't even think of a safe course of action.

Manny performed the surgery and Vinnie felt a little green as she watched. Y2K wasn't human, but they were still a living being. They could all easily end up like them, trapped in a body that didn't make any sense, subjected to the will of their captors. It was enough to make Vinnie want to throw herself over the ledge, to drown in all of this melancholy and take the easy way out. "I-is there a blindspot in the cameras?" Vinnie asked quietly. She assumed that there had to be cameras where they all had woken up earlier.

"Could say the same to you, Lana," Raynor told her gruffly. She wasn't at all like he had remembered her. She wasn't the sweet little shy bookworm he had fallen in love with. It was like seeing a stranger possessing her body, a vicious mockery of who Sparks had once been.

"Hm?" Zari said, before glancing at Sophia when she had asked her question to her. Was she alright? That certainly was an interesting question, one that she really didn't know the answer to. She wasn't against using violence to defend herself if the need arose, so she supposed that Raynor was in the right to just kill the guy. Not to mention it was kind of cool to see a dead body that wasn't just a robot or something. "I believe that I am," she responded to Sophia with a bit of a shrug, saying nothing more relating to it.

"Yeah well I also am not the one who ended up getting injured," she pointed out with a bit of an eye roll towards him. The guy certainly was strange, and she still had no idea who he was or why he seemed to know who she was. Currently Sparky wasn't at all sure who in the room she really could trust based on how everything else had started off interactions wise. She moved away from Raynor slightly now as she glanced over at the dead body, rubbing her neck where her tattoo was. Even though she couldn't actively see it, she knew that it was there after having looked in a mirror not long after she woke up, and something seemed a bit strange with the tattoo, but she couldn't figure out what. Based on how she seemed, she couldn't really see herself as the tattoo type, but apparently she was.

Walking over towards the dead body, Zari nudged the guy with her foot, looking at the blood pooling around him a bit curiously. "This is kind of cool and kind of weird, but mostly kind of cooooool in my opinion, not sure what you guys think should be done with the corpse, since it's clearly an actual corpse and not a robot like where I got Mr. Eyeball and Mr. Jaws from," she said as she pulled out the robotic jaw and eyeball that she was carrying around looking at them. "What do you two think?" she asked the robotic parts seriously.

"...Can someone explain to me why the kid is talking to a few robot parts?" Sparky couldn't help but ask, a little bit confused about the sort of thing. "Kid, don't mess with the body, leave it alone already. Since you know, it's a bit weird, not to mention yeah the guy was kind of a psycho but why does it sound like you might want to perform an autopsy on him or something just to see what his internal organs look like?" The kid was definitely a strange one, since she seemed to just be insanely curious as to how the world worked in general.

"I mean this is kind of cool not gonna lie, wonder why he was messed up in the head. Oooooh was there some weird thing in his head or something? Wonder what his brain looked like. Maybe we can cut his head open and see! Being honest I do want to know what internal organs look like, since they are cool and keep us alive all the time so they have to probably look interesting right?" was the response as Zari started rambling a bit.

"Riiiiiight, okay then... So, now that no one is dying anymore, hopefully, anyone have any strange ideas of what the hell we should do now aside from the kid's suggestion of cutting open the corpse or something."

First I want to thank the four of you for being great RPers. I really enjoyed running a game for you and I am sorry to have to do this, but with my new job, I just don't have the bandwidth to run this game on top of everything else I do. Thank you for being understanding. I love you guys and look forward to RPing with you guys still in other games.

Important things to know: I probably was going to just slowly kill of NPCs till I didn't have too many to deal with (especially with the extras you picked up in sector two. Tessa and Gordon were going to go missing. Later in the RP they would have been found being cloned. The Aliens were a plant-based creature. It also was a really far time in the future. Even if you did take over the ship and fly it back to Earth everyone you would have ever known would have been long dead. It had a bit of a bleak ending because of that. The clones were going to be plant-based and integrated into a semi-hive mind that the plants shared. The aliens essentially had local telepathy. Y2k was actually a good person and would have helped you a ton. The eye Zari had would have literally opened doors, such as the one leading out of the water processing room. The Roomba path was totally viable and what I was expecting you to take. The plants at the bottom of the lake that almost killed Luke were carnivorous and trying to eat him, if you had failed to pull him up he would have died and been eaten. The memory loss was due to how they froze you all to transfer you from Earth to this location, the site of their dead planet (no worries, that wasn't Earth below).

If you have any other questions feel free to ask them via Discord. Happy RPing!
