voice ;; 0001 ;; mutiny day three ;; after lights are restored

[iciclerain]

[Asch's voice comes over the network, sounding grumpy but calm.] As I'm sure you've noticed, the base's lighting is back on. There shouldn't be any issues, but inform me if there are.

Don't try to approach the maintenance room until things have calmed down. We're staying behind to keep an eye on things, and if you show up unannounced we'll assume you're there to sabotage the system again. [No mention of who 'we' is, of course.]

[ LOCKED to: Neutral/Positive CR ]

None of you have been caught up in this mess, have you?

[Hm? Someone else that knows him?] That's right.

The room is secure for now. We'll be fine if someone gets this mutiny under control.

[So it is Asch after all. Then that means he must've been brought back to the moonbase.]

...Right. [Easier said than done, he suspects, but definitely necessary.] What about things like supplies and food? Do you think you guys will be able to hold out until then, or should we try to come up with a way to get them to you?

[iciclerain]

We'll be fine on supplies. [Or at least, he knew he would be fine.] Even if we run out we're not far from the cafeteria, and each of us has allies that we trust to deliver food. [Or, once again, he does at least. But even just one of them with an ally on the 'outside' will be enough to sustain them.]

[pactfulfilled]

[In other words, there isn't much Asbel can do here that hasn't already been considered. Which means he needs to keep checking other areas of the moon base.]

Okay, then. Good luck in there. If the situation changes and you need more back-up on the outside, you're welcome to call on us.

[iciclerain]

Hm, of course. [He says 'of course' but he probably won't call on Asbel for help. All the same...]

... I'm sure you've realized, but I don't know who you are. I don't have any memories of being in this place before.

[pactfulfilled]

Oh. [Now he gets it. Although honestly the confirmation is a little upsetting. Not because they'd been close - they certainly hadn't even by Asbel's standards, but just the thought of Asch not remembering all of his friends and companions from before.]

My name's Asbel Lhant. We met once when you were helping Kaneis with household repairs.
