in space, no one can hear you struggle to open doors (un: aqua)

[aequoreal]

[ What up Reverie Terminal, it's your glowy superdad back on the network again. Apollo is looking pensive today and not quite his usual sunny self. Next to him is someone who's making his first public appearance: Kaldur'ahm faces the camera, gills at his neck clearly visible, a reserved smile on his face. He gives a nod. ]

As you all know, several areas of the station remain inaccessible to us. I believe several people have been talking about ways to open them or attempting to do so already. Brute force may be a means to gain access to a central command deck or something similar. If enough of us work together, especially those of us stronger or superpowered, we may be able to get through.

[ Here, he glances at Apollo, who adds after a beat: ]

Dirk raised a good point: what if those doors have been locked off for a good reason? What if there's something on the other side that needs to be locked away like, I don't know, a pathogen? Or whatever it is that's wiped out the original station crew?

[ Apollo lifts a hand, as if to stem an imaginary silent protest: ]

I'm not saying we shouldn't still give it a go, because after that video Henryk received it's been made pretty clear to us that we need to get off this ship as soon as possible. But it's something we should maybe be prepared for.

So what we're asking is whether or not there's anyone out there who's good at forcefields? Or might have some insight in to how we should tackle this? Just in case we open a door and, uh. Regret it.

[ Apollo frowns a little, determination replacing the pensive expression from before. ]

So there you have it. I know Amos has some good ideas about creating an airlock in case we open a door to an unpressurised deck. But has anyone else got any ideas? [ to which Kaldur adds: ] We would welcome your thoughts and input.

[shes not your pal, FRIEND.]

yeah sounds like something i dont have to worry about

[solarcharged]

That's really good for you.

[mirrortide]

fantastic really

what do they do anyway

[solarcharged]

Kill people, possibly. Or just make them sick. You can see why it's a problem for other people.

[mirrortide]

yeah its definitely a problem for other people

heres hoping its not that i guess

[solarcharged]

Here's hoping.

Are you volunteering to help? We could do with another person who doesn't need to use space suits.

[mirrortide]

not really but im open for watching whatever it is that ends up happening

NOT HERE

[ LAPIS YOU ARE THE ACTUAL WORST kaldur take the wheel omg apollo is so done ]

[aequoreal]

( ah. well. kaldur has been following this conversation with growing discomfort. finally: )

I only ask that you do not hinder our efforts, if you refuse to join them.

im so sorry

[mirrortide]

yeah no problem i wouldnt want to get in anyones potentially deadly area and get weird organic bits all over me when something goes wrong anyway

[aequoreal]

( what a pleasant mental image, thank you for that... )

Have you never been in a situation in which you needed the help of others?

[mirrortide]

once

[aequoreal]

Did someone come to your aid?

[mirrortide]

no one came to my aid for over 6000 years and the person who did it was completely by accident so if youre trying to make a point just try and make it already

[aequoreal]

I am sorry to hear that.
But the point I am trying to make is that if someone has the opportunity to help, it is better to do so.

[mirrortide]

uhuh sure that might work for you and thats great and all but ill pass on that

[aequoreal]

Very well.
