Move 15 Recap

Fluffy, Istradez, Mikodez

Istradez has had one too many head injuries and collapses into unconsciousness.

Mikodez tries to hack the station for evidence of past visitors from out of time, and plays tag with the baby mothling, whom he nicknames, variously, 'Baby', 'Crowned-With-Eyes', 'Pompom', and 'Noodles'. Around 01:00 he receives a message from Sasha, requesting that he retrieve Fluffy the Vraselian pseudo-dragon. He heads to the magistrate's quarters, where he finds two bored guards. Fluffy is making obnoxious teakettle sounds because she wants her evening snack. The guards are happy to make Fluffy into Mikodez's problem. He takes her back to the visitors' quarters, where he collects a DNA sample from Istradez and feeds Fluffy lots of candy.

Gerae, Sasha, Sulen, Virmad

Around 02:50, Sasha returns Gerae to his room and secures him by the expedient of asking the grid to disappear the door. She asks the Rahal what Gerae meant by referencing signifiers, and is irritated that Virmad describes her as "Broken-Winged Moth"; she objects to characterization both as 'broken' and as a moth/Nirai. She heads back to the comms room and sets alarms to warn about weapons or unauthorized technology in the airlock of the Wasp.

Teo calls Virmad to complain that the teenager (Mikodez) has been attempting to hack the station grid, and asks Virmad, with a wink, to look into the matter. Sasha and Sulen listen to the conversation from the comms room. Sasha displays a message with advice on Virmad's screen during the conversation, irritating Virmad, who didn't think his conversations were being monitored.
