I just wish we had some idea of why it isn't.

[psynchroneyes]

Well, the company we're supposedly working for isn't everything they claim to be. At this point? They can't be.

[teenrebellion]

That much is obvious. Too much is going wrong for them to be a normal delivery company, interstellar or not.

[ sips tea. ]

Nanites or cosmo... whatever. [ he's not attempting that word with his throat fucked up. ] I don't know. Something's screwing with us. Otherwise it wouldn't have happened twice.

[psynchroneyes]

... Yeah. And I don't like the idea that it'll probably happen again.

[teenrebellion]

Neither do I, but there may not be a way around it.

[ stares at the floor. ]

That makes these trials feel worse. If it's really some influence from nanites or whatever, then it's not really their fault.

[psynchroneyes]

I've... been thinking about that, too. But they're still taking a life, so what do you do about that?

[teenrebellion]

If it's the nanites, wouldn't the best answer be to find whatever's screwing it up and take it to Nut & Bolt for being reckless with them? Or if someone deliberately started this, find whoever that is.

Keeping Lee-san in the brig is probably the right move to keep everyone else safe. Maybe even prosecuting him for later is, too. But we can't ignore it if there's something else to it.

[psynchroneyes]

That wouldn't work. Not if the company itself is responsible for this.

[teenrebellion]

One company can't control all of space. There's a whole galactic court out there that should be taking that kind of thing into consideration.

[psynchroneyes]

Corruption is a thing...

[teenrebellion]

[ glances at her like who's the pessimist now ]

Everyone knows that. Besides, even if they can't go after the company, this is what the insanity plea is for.

What would you suggest, then?

[psynchroneyes]

That's—I don't know. It isn't easy to say, especially in that we don't know how it works out here. For all we know, the laws aren't anything like back home.

[teenrebellion]

[ he contemplates being mean for a second and decides that it's not worth it. ]

Guess it doesn't really matter when we can't do much of anything, anyway.

[psynchroneyes]

That we know of. Yet.

[teenrebellion]

I'll be glad to hear when there's something to work off of, but it's not going to work out just because you say it enough times.
