o2. spinning wheels (video; un: burton)
[ The camera filming is the one from the console in the wall of the garden, the one that Haru put together. It shows Amos, fingers brushing along the plants hooked together along the wall. He has a smile on his face, and his touch seems incredibly gentle, his lips parted as he looks at the greenery. ]
Have you ever seen something more amazing? These plants are keeping us alive. Literally. Scrubbing up the air we breathe, putting it back out as something we can use. They take so much work, so much patience, so much knowledge. To keep them alive, help them grow. So amazing.
[ He stops, his face closing up all of a sudden. His jaw ticks with a muscle under the beard, and his hands turn into fists. He pulls away from the wall. It seems like a sudden change in mood, something like a switch has been flipped, all of a sudden. His posture tenses, his eyes start stinging. ]
This place is killing us. It's - it's killed my friend, already. He's more than a friend, really. He's my brother.
[ If you've met Amos, had a chat with him, you might realize that this video is pretty... well, unlike him. He doesn't seem to really recognize that fact, though, looking straight at the camera with his eyes slightly teary. ]
Be careful. This station does shit to us. [ Pause. Amos wipes at his eyes. Sniffles. ] Oh and by the way, guys, it's a station, not a ship. Don't make me say it again.
[ He doesn't sound angry, even when he says this, tired of having to repeat himself. There's a suspicious complete lack of anger throughout the whole entry. ]
Seriously, we need to get off this barge. All of us. If you think there's nothing you can do, I promise you, there is. We gotta work together.

[ He doesn't usually care, so he doesn't usually judge. This - isn't him. ]

Since when do you care what I think?
[ Amos swallows. A minute ago, he was mocking Miller, but now that Miller took it seriously... ]
You might be one of the only people around here that might actually be able to find out what's going on. You understood Eros, and Julie. Maybe you'll make sense of this place, too.
--> private
[ oh. that was the kind of transparency he usually avoided. he just barely remembers to put a filter on the video before getting REAL. gdi amos. ]
I've been down at the bridge since the moment it opened watching footage of the old crew. If something's to be found in there, I'm gonna crack this whole thing wide open.
So whatever is going on with you, you don't have to lecture me. I won't even space myself or anyone else without telling you first. How's that for consideration?

Okay.
[ Sorry, Miller, you made him very sad.
He hates this. ]
