People have been vanishing. Not many, not often, not at a volume where we've noticed quickly, but a small number of the ones who initially arrived here have simply disappeared. They've been vanishing since before the doors into space opened, and at enough of a rate that we'd notice the diminishing number of suits if they were all falling off the station into the black.

Initially I had assumed it must be because this place is dangerous. If that were the case we should be tripping over the corpses by now. We clearly aren't.

And what would we have to make sure they aren't lying?

[veristitalian]

Everyone has an agenda, but it's still possible to discern a great deal, even from someone who's being deliberately deceptive.

[why_me]

If I had to, I could definitely take a deeper look than most, but there's always the chance that even if we found someone, they might not know what they'd done or how to undo it or how to fix what they broke.

The message I heard when I got here seemed as if genuinely well meaning people had their work go awry.

[veristitalian]

I don't hold out a great deal of hope that we'll be able to speak to the initial station crew. When we hear screaming, I'm sure it's the memory of them dying, badly.

[why_me]

Sometimes, the dead can speak as clearly as the living. If they're willing to.

[veristitalian]

Are you speaking of medical examination, or a specific power?

[why_me]

An ability I've used on occasion.

[veristitalian]

If I find a corpse, I will call you.

[why_me]

Please do. As much as I hope you don't find one.
