Someone's propped up a few crude wooden signs throughout the Hub - broad arrows on them, all pointing down a single hallway, and in smaller writing under the arrows 'CENSUS PLEASE'. And there - well, it's not quite an office, but Wednesday's set up a primitive desk and chair of the same make as the signs, with a pile of empty data-slates.

OOC: Open to any and everybody!

"That's a good start," Lacaille remarks with an approving nod. "Will it be publicly available? Lesath--" she gestures vaguely upwards to indicate Stacy "--is keeping enough secrets from us as it is."

"Good." She looks decidedly pleased by this. "Once we're done, I can help you collect information, and sort through it all--I'm good with data analysis." She pauses, seeming to notice something, and leans in a little to peer more closely at his face, almost as if examining a specimen. "What's wrong with your eye?"

Lacaille watches, fascinated, as if she'd never seen anything like it before. "Why not?" she asks once he's done, genuinely curious. "I'm sure this place has facilities where you can get an organic replacement, or at least a decent prosthetic."

"Oh, um, all right." With that, Lacaille backs off of the topic, though it's pretty clear that she doesn't entirely understand, and is trying very hard to resist inquiring further. "So, where should I start with the census data?"

Lacaille's answer is prompt and precise. "Female, born on the Arion-class carrier Messier in synchronous orbit around Sedna in the Sol system. Time of birth was February second, Aevum Astrorum 318, Common Era 2541,at 14:29 Universal Standard Time. Current age is... approximately 24 years and 39 days, if my internal clock's still accurate."

"Kind of. I can keep track of it, but I'm not as accurate as an atomic clock or anything, of course, and it's harder now without a real clock to orient myself with after I wake up..."

Her rambling eventually brings her around to answering the next set of questions, though. "Last residence was the Messier. Species is..." She actually pauses here for a moment, seeming to consider something. "Most closely resembling Homo sapiens sapiens," she finally answers, "but arguably with enough genetic difference to be considered part of the theorized scitus subspecies. Ethnicity is Martian/Europan, probably chiefly Caucasian. Nationality..." Her expression shifts to a small, puzzled frown. "Not applicable?"

"Atheist, single..." The education question made her hesitate for a moment. "No formal schooling, technically."
