[ Alex looks a little ashen faced and grim, but otherwise no worse for wear. Beside him is Vanessa who looks a little uneasy with the situation. Her hair is loose, arms wrapped around herself and whilst she agreed that they need to do this, and she trusts Alex, it's a little clear that she doesn't want to do it.
Alex clears his throat. ]
Alrigh’, well - I know this ain’t as big news as it would have been a couple weeks ago, but. Vanessa and I - and Bobbie and Kylo - we uh, we had a little chat. With someone who had been on the station before.
Who died on the station before.
And before ya’ll start arguin’ - just listen to what we heard, for a second.
First thing - all this? The crazy shit that we keep gettin’ in to, and why we’re so far from Earth? It’s all because of the Drive. Now we talked to the Medic so I ain’t exactly got a whole lot of technical details, but - they built it because of whatever was going down on Earth at the time, but instead of what it was supposed to do, it moved them.
Moved them, and then started killin’ them.
But the drive is somewhere on the station - or at least it was. So I think we gotta put in a real effort now to find it.
I don't understand this as Alex does. ( her words are quiet as she finally speaks. even if you've not had the conversation with her that she's from 1892 there's a look to her, particularly in her dress, that would heavily suggest that she's not from a “modern” century ) But I trust the information that we received.
( she only knows what the others told her, effectively unconscious during the affair, but there's a feeling that vanessa has. the spirit hadnt meant them harm, nor did it feel like a deception )
It may be that this Drive is behind one of the doors we have yet to open, I don't know, but perhaps someone will discover that.
( her only hope was that there wouldn't be too many questions about how they'd come to learn this information though vanessa doubted that that would be the case )
( there'll be responses from both. vanessa is in purple text )

The idea that the next step is execution, however, sends a jolt of dread through Arid’s processors. Unfed for far too long, the virus stirs sleepily within her.]
How much time was there between their transport and their death?
no subject
She didn't say. Didn't exactly get a hell of a lot of specifics. She, uh -
She was a lot more worried about what happened to the people she cared about.
Guess she died before they did.
All she said was that after the Drive skipped them half way across the galaxy, that's when the weird shit started happening. That's when people started dyin'.

It was supposed to save the world.
Whatever the hell that means.
She seemed pretty damned surprised that I didn't really know what exactly they were savin' the world from.

Someone who died. I'm assuming this isn't the other kind of dead person this station collects? The kind that just walks about, stubbornly refusing to be inanimate?
[No, the fact that this station has killed people before doesn't phase him. That was the baseline assumption, that this was a deathtrap designed specifically to torment him.]

We uh - had to contact her through uh - different means.

I mean, assumin' here is the here they ended up. Maybe it's moved again since then.

Regardless, I think it might be a good idea to stress caution when looking for the drive. Not only could the area around it be more unstable than the rest of the station, but the station has had other... 'reactions' to us breaching doors before. If the drive was essential and potentially dangerous then there may be extra security measures surrounding it.

Don't suppose she had specifics on what or who killed them?

This is incredibly valuable information. I don't suppose the medic mentioned what the Drive was meant to do?

Alright, so if we don't find this thing people are just going to start dropping dead. [Simple enough.] So what, we just find the damn thing and smash it?
