The ensign nodded, turned, and headed back to the turbolift. For a moment, Toxin seemed to check her out. That was weird behavior from him. 

oO Isn’t he into that Henri fellow? Oo

oO That’s what our spreadsheet says, but didn’t someone say Henri’s a hologram? Oo

Jania decided to file it for further investigation. 

@Jania Nis has a spreadsheet because there is so much gossip on our ship

Overwhelming grief hit him like the biggest monetary loss he could possibly make.

The first time I start to feel bad for a Zet and he comes out expressing his grief like this lol lovely cultural detail there

Woke up to an absolutely lovely sim from @Arturo Maxwell taking in the suffering of the Danni people, quoting some of the lines that really just struck me that shows the depth of his compassion, empathy, and resolve to help people he just met.

If this utter devastation wasn't the worst, where children looking as young as three or four were having to help shift rubbish and debris, or try to drag tiny little carts along, then Max truly felt for those in other areas. A short ways ahead, Max could see a row of bodies carefully laid out. Some looked as if they were simply enjoying a peaceful nap, others bore clear signs of injury from building collapses or impact-injuries from being swept away. Not all of them were adults, and all shared in the final indignity that the survivors didn't even have any rags to cover them over with.

Max stared at the row for a long moment, mulling over the unfairness of it all.

Maxwell: How about we give those folks a wee bit ae dignity?

Kilik/Herrick/Richards/Tano/Salo: Response

Max took up one of the blankets and stepped over to the first in line. Nothing seemed out of place, unless one looked closely to find the livid purple mark just inside the hairline by her temple. Max looked at her peaceful face for a moment, judging her to be around eleven.
Not much younger than Milly.
He heard footsteps behind him.

Kilik: Her name was Alena. She was my daughter.

Undoing the blanket, Max carefully draped it over Alena before standing and placing a hand upon Kilik's shoulder.

Maxwell: I'm sorry, Kilik.

Neslan: (only half reassured and somewhat nervously) Oh. Good. I’m kind of addicted to oxygen. (beat) I literally can’t live without it!

Trust @Avander Promontory to make the Dad jokes.

Morro remembered the last Orion he met that had her own moon. Morro wasn’t interested.
