I'm fine. Glad that I'm from the nation of Geo and not the nation of Dendro, suddenly, but I'll live. [ sick of PLANTS. ] The other officers are spread out across the ship, as well. Most of them didn't try to stay off-ship, just in case something happened, but they're all on board now.

Were you equally as unsurprised that didn't work?

[cashouts]

I had a feeling that it wouldn't, when I sent the announcement this morning.

But it was worth trying.

[inquired]

Ah, so you brought this upon us...?

[cashouts]

Collective officer effort. We figured we'd give it a shot.

It might not have worked, but the ship was forced to show its cards again.

[inquired]

...Indeed it was.

[ something about that specific phrasing brings a smile across his face. ]

Better an experiment with results, I suppose.

[cashouts]

Risk and reward. A little danger can give clarity, so long as you walk the right line.

The more that happens, the less it's pretending that things are fine.

[inquired]

Precisely.

[ this is why you're his favorite ♥ ] And the less we pretend things are fine, the more answers that we have.
