Everything appears normal to me. Nobody's sprouted an extra head or started talking in tongues, right?

[ Dirk may be somewhat of a hikikomori most of the time, but he can't stay in his room 24/7. This afternoon he just sort of casually pokes his head into the cybernetic maintenance facility, curious about what exactly is in here.

He can also be found walking through the halls on his way there, on his way back to his room, and later on in the dining hall, for anyone who may want to bother him and/or take advantage of the fact that he is totally affected by this flood. ]

I dunno, man. I'm the most normal guy there is. Nothing I can see going on. You think the Admiral's fucked in the head?

[synchronous]

Man, I've thought that since the day I arrived.

Unless thinking nothing is wrong is part of the flood.

[mistconduct]

Fucking floods. Just what I wanted to do today, play mystery Guess What's Fucked.

Any ideas?

[synchronous]

A few, but nothing concrete. I've compared my current state with that of my past self in earlier transmissions on this network, and there don't seem to be any physical or mental differences that I would notice. Then again, I could be one of the lucky few who's just not affected by whatever this is.

Maybe it's just something that made everyone over the age of thirty grow an extra half-inch of hair. I doubt we'd be so lucky, though.

You got any thoughts?

[mistconduct]

Mostly that you are a fucking nerd.

[Hang on.]

Oh, you mean about the flood? No, not really. Sorry, man.

[synchronous]

Props for not sugar-coating it.

If this is something actually major, we're not likely to find out what it is until the worst possible moment anyway.

[mistconduct]

Probably, but so far everything seems cool. I dunno, man, maybe this is a mulligan.

[synchronous]

If that turns out to be the case I will officially convert to optimism.

[A pause, as Chris reads the newest network replies]

Nope, wait, no. Shit. They figured it out. Truth flood.

[synchronous]

Hell no.

[mistconduct]

Hell yes. Come on, it's gonna be awesome! Think positive.

[synchronous]

I am not seeing a single awesome thing about this.

[mistconduct]

That's because you aren't using your imagination. Come on, dude. Isn't there someone on this barge you want to know more about?

[synchronous]

Some of you are pretty interesting, but not worth invoking mutually assured destruction.

[mistconduct]

Smart move.
