Sooooo.

Here's a bit of an awkward question:

How many of you guys have someone you don't exactly like holed up in one of those pods? And I don't just mean like "wow that guy's a dick" I'm talking more along the lines of "this guy is a GIANT dick and he will definitely try to kill us [ read: him ] when he wakes up."

Is there any way to...I don't know, pull the plug out of the pods? or something? Do you think we'd get in trouble for that?

[ A little casual accidentally-on-purpose murder never hurt anyone right? Like especially when it's for the greater good, which this totally is. ]

there are definitely some people in those pods who shouldnt have been saved from the storm

dont know what to do about it

the worst one ive seen is a very old man though

if people continue to age in the pods

[Problem solved.]

[rhygret]

Huh that'd actually be a pretty nice way of handling it if that's how it worked. I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but. Still would be nice.

[ Stasis sleep was already a Thing back in his world before it was destroyed, and unfortunately it still slowed the aging process. ]

[earthy]

yeah

[Deep down inside, he knows it'd never be that easy.]

maybe you could try explaining the situation to the orbiters

if someones going to be a danger to other refugees or to the stations or their world they might do something about it

put an end to them themselves or keep them from ever waking up

or drop them back into the path of the storm

[A man can dream.]

[rhygret]

I wish. From the sounds of it though they don't want to to kill anyone before they wake up, which just seems like a bit silly to me. If it's fine to get rid of them when they're awake, why wait??

[earthy]

maybe they want to see for themselves what people are like

make sure people are truly the threats we say they are before any action is taken

[rhygret]

Do they take any action though? I've heard a few of them appeared and spoke to some people but that's it.

[earthy]

no idea

ive had their voices in my head a few times but ive never gotten to talk to any of them

not while ive been awake anyway

[rhygret]

It's for those announcements right? I think everyone gets those. Like when they needed to suddenly evacuate all of us down to the planet.

[earthy]

right

i dont know how they do that but i guess its a good way to make sure everybody hears what they have to say

maybe they dont take lives themselves and just leave it to us but they dont want to risk people damaging the pods

or accidentally hurting other sleeping refugees

so they make us wait

[rhygret]

I guess that's true. Wouldn't want to get anyone else up there by mistake if you're messing around with those pods.

Man now I really have to wait. This sucks.

[earthy]

sorry

whats his problem

this guy who would try to kill us

[rhygret]

He's insane for starters. You absolutely can't trust him either. He might say "Oh yes we'll be partners and rule together!" but what he means is "I'm going to shove a metal robot skeleton inside you and wear you like a meat suit!"

[earthy]

[What?]

what

[No, seriously, what the fruitball?]

why would anyone do that

how would anyone do that

what do you mean a metal robot skeleton

[rhygret]

I mean a literal robot skeleton that he would replace the one I already have and kill me.

It wasn't a great plan.

[earthy]

thats horrible

would he be trying to do that to everyone

[rhygret]

That was his plan back home. Before it...ended? I guess? Or whatever the Storm does to it.

[earthy]

casts it into eternal darkness

[His interpretation, anyway.]

he sounds more monster than man

[rhygret]

That's a little dramatic but yeah sure. He's human though. The worst people usually...are.

[earthy]

will you be able to stop him if he wakes up

[rhygret]

In a fair fight? Probably...not. Like at all. So. That's kind of where the "do it when he can't kill me" fit into everything.

[earthy]

thats not good

[/Captain Obvious]

is there anyone else here from your world who could take care of him

anyone else hes wronged

[rhygret]

Pretty much EVERYONE from my world has been wronged by this guy dude. I don't think there's anyone left in any galaxy that likes him.

[ Which...okay maybe not exactly true, they love him back on the Edens but still. ]

[earthy]

but are any of those people awake right now

and if so are any of them strong enough to end him

[rhygret]

Not...exactly

[earthy]

not exactly

okay

let me think here
