CW: MINOR BODY HORROR AND SELF HARM MENTIONS

My name is Daisy Johnson.

I know I'm not the only one this has happened to, but, has anyone else found something literally crawling under their skin? I'm not sure how it got there, maybe it was done when we were unconscious.

It stopped moving when I got it out, and it looked like a small wire. I don't think it's some sort of tracker, or of it's something else entirely. Check yourselves and if anyone might have an idea of what this could possibly be, please get in contact with me.

Something similar happened to somebody I know. What sort of wire is it? And what size?

[morethan084]

Kind of looks like chrome? And it's about three inches in length.

What happened to them?

[magneticfields]

[ Chrome? That's interesting. He turns on the video. ]

They're fine, other than the wound. If it is not too personal, would you mind telling me where you found it?

[morethan084]

Along my shoulder.

[The wound is covered, but, Daisy angles the communicator so he can see where it's covered up.]

Where did you friend find theirs?

[magneticfields]

[ The corners of his lips turn down slightly. It's a reasonable question, but he's not comfortable revealing that information about Rogue. ]

Not on the shoulder. My flatmate knows something about medicine, apparently. If you need assistance in keeping it from getting infected.

[morethan084]

That’s the last thing I’m worried about right now, but, thanks.

[She’s more concerned about what these things are and how they got there to begin with. Daisy couldn’t find any sort of entrance that it could’ve gone in.]

Can you have your friend contact me when they get the chance?

[ How nice of Erik to let her tell her own story. Rogue flips on the video and turns her head slightly to show off the inch-long red cut just the side of her jaw. ]

Hey there, sugar. Mine was four inches and copper, right along my neck. Stopped moving just like yours once it was out, but it sure put up a fight before then.

[morethan084]

[Did the different metals mean something? Maybe. Daisy still has no idea what to do with the information she's gathered so far.]

I'm guessing you've never come across something like this before either?

[theycalledmeacurse]

[ It's certainly something to note. Another layer of mystery to the whole unpleasant incident. ]

Nope. Never been kidnapped to space before either.

[morethan084]

That makes one of us.

[At least back then she knew people who had her back. Not that Daisy was incapable of taking care of herself, but support was always wanted.]

Where do you have it now?

[theycalledmeacurse]

[ Finally, someone with a story more messed up and ridiculously out there than her own. She wonders what else they might have in common, and whether it would be considered a social faux pas to compare notes. ]

In my pocket. [ As proof, there some shifting of the camera and then she's holding up the wire in her free hand. ] Seemed like a good idea to keep an eye on it.

[morethan084]

Good. Maybe put it somewhere else though.

[Daisy wasn't a fan of keeping it on her person.]

Even though it's stopped moving for now, we don't know if it's just playing possum.

[theycalledmeacurse]

All the more reason for at least one of us to keep close watch. If it starts wriggling again, everyone on the station will hear me yelling about it.

[ She's done being poked and prodded, especially by strangely animated pieces of wiring. ]

[morethan084]

I think we've had enough screaming on this ship.

[Has she heard the random screams coming from the hallways?]

[theycalledmeacurse]

...there's been screaming already?

[ Nope, she hasn't heard a thing. Wonderful. ]

[morethan084]

You never heard it? Or anyone else talking about it?

[theycalledmeacurse]

No, but I haven't been paying as much attention to this channel as I probably should have. I'm guessing it's been a usual thing, then?

[morethan084]

I wouldn't call it usual, but it's been happening to a lot of people.

No one seems to know why either.

[theycalledmeacurse]

Well, that's great. Just what we needed, really. Keep things interesting.

[ Sarcasm? Oh yeah. A whole heap of it. ]

[morethan084]

[Daisy appreciates the sarcasm honestly.]

Yeah, that's what this place could really use here. More interesting things to keep happening.

[theycalledmeacurse]

[ That gets a shallow chuckle out of Rogue. She likes this woman. ]

It's like that Chinese curse. "May you live in interesting times." My life's sure been a hell of a lot more interesting than I'd like.

[morethan084]

You make it sound like waking up on a space station is not the norm.

[Again, sarcasm.]

[theycalledmeacurse]

Well, it doesn't happen every day.

[ And thank goodness for that. ]

[morethan084]

[A smile tugs at her lips at the joke.]

We'll figure this out. Might take a while, but, I'm sure if we work together we can find the source of these things.

[theycalledmeacurse]

I like your optimism, sugar. I'll let you know if I find out anything more.
