Move 17 Recap

Sasha and Yehan

Sasha asks Yehan about the Rosemallow crew list; Yehan explains that the people listed as slaves (cargo) appear to come from rural areas of Naxarat. Sasha, who comes from a rural area, is somewhat concerned. Yehan asks about information to report to Ashari. Sasha replies, "Tell Ashari I've got a ping on Avrayen's lokwor, and Alaric has gone to fetch him." She asks Yehan to take over comms after the meeting with Ashari; Yehan agrees.

After Yehan leaves, Sasha inserts malicious versions of near-future memes into station chatter, incorporating Clowder Purring characters.

Alaric, Crowned-With-Eyes, Fluffy, Iawa, Mikodez, and Sulen

Iawa and Sulen run into Mikodez near the medical center. Mikodez sports some scratches from Fluffy; Crowned-With-Eyes has a light sprinkling of glitter from Mikodez' physics experiments. Sulen tells Iawa, "I'll deal with him if you want to check on Imsayed"; Iawa does so. Mikodez asks Sulen whether they were aware that his "cousin" Imsayed/Istradez had a prior concussion.

At this point, Alaric arrives, carrying a tray with four caffeinated beverages and some crispy desserts. One of the drinks contains a sleeping pill that Sasha gave him. He tells Mikodez, "Sasha said you might need some company." Sulen, unluckily, takes the drink containing the sleeping pill.

Messages: Ashari, Iawa, Sasha

After leaving Mikodez, Sulen, and the pets, Iawa sends Sasha the lokwor message, "Sulen with A [Avrayen/Mikodez]. I'm checking I [Imsayed/Istradez] then doubling back in case backup needed." Sasha responds, "thx, will update Rii [Ashari]. Damion [Alaric] on his way too. lmk when I can be moved." She forwards both messages to Ashari, who replies after a slight delay, "Well, someone's making progress. Wake me if there are any crises."
