Big Reveal Part 2 - Grief.

The conversation between the bridge crew, Stacy, and the Admiral is broadcasted where the rest of the crew is in the MedBay, and gathered right outside. Even in the bridge itself, the sound echoes over the monitors so that anyone resistant to psionics can hear Elfangor's side of the conversation.

They have now been told why they were brought to the ship.

Their worlds are gone, destroyed by the Ohm. They are refugees in an unforgiving Omniverse.

Transmigration 9 is an ark.

While Stacy is partially restored, including her core personality (which is far more personable), she is still severely damaged, and running on automatic somewhat. Until the ship can be repaired, podpops will keep occuring and they will be forced to go on missions to undo the damage the Ohm have wrought to the Omniverse. The threat of the being in Escherville is still a threat, one with no immediate solutions.

But they have allies out there, they have an AI watching over them, they have the smallest glinting traces of hope. Their loved ones are (hopefully) on board, and even beyond that, there is may be a chance, however small, of restoring their home universes.

Stacy broadcasts to the entire ship when it's all over, when all has been revealed.

||The bodies of the individuals that died today are being prepared for funeral services. A list of their names will be made available, though I can assure you that none are individuals any of you know. The funeral will be on Obs Deck in several days, and will be announced.||

||Those that wish to have their memories of their rescues restored, as proof their worlds are gone, will have a chance to request this after the services, but without grief counselors on board, I strongly recommend against it.||

||In the meantime, all of us must heal and recover from our ordeal. New areas of the ship have been made available, such as the Crew Lounge, and I have opened up the Crew Quarters for use, and cleared out the belongings of--||

Here she falters, sadness creeping into her voice.

||--of my original crew, so that all of you may sleep more comfortably. These quarters fit two people to a room, and have actual beds and sonic showers. Dining will still be provided in the Mess Hall, with periodic days of real food in the Lounge--they must be spaced out until my food stores are replenished with fresh food products.||

After a moment of thought she says: ||And because I think you've suffered enough, fornicative activities are now allowed--however, both parties must stop by the Medbay for a Contraceptive shot or this will not be allowed. These shots will provide protection for six months and do not protect against venereal disease, but all of you, barring several individuals with certain conditions--|| Like those, say, infected with zombie viruses, Steve ||--are currently disease-free.||

||The ship is now open, and the bridge team can relocate back to the Living Areas. The doors will remain open after they leave the bridge. I must now engage in heavy repairs. My AI will not be quite as available as usual. Please, take time to grieve, rest, and have your wounds treated. We will discuss more when everyone has recovered from this ordeal.||

"There will be no one to link TO Great Scravis if there are no more raptors! This is a special circumstance, beyond what is normal! We are the last two raptors alive!"

"We'll die off just as surely without a Shaman!" she snaps. And she does nip him.

"What makes you think I would wish to mate with you?!"

He screeches and nips back in annoyance.

"We don't have much of a choice, do we? It is not as if I wish to mate with you that much either! But if we wish for our people to survive..."

"Then you will have to find another female," she snarls, getting up. "I will not abandon my station to your panic."

"How am I to find another female?! You heard the ship spirit! All of them are dead!" He stands up as well, a bit stiffly though thanks to his wound.

"Not all of them! Scravis put holes in that thick skull of yours so you might listen!" she replies sharply.

"The creature said the ones we care about are here. They are just trapped below. Perhaps Straight Tail will wake up."

"What would you say to her then, oh Chieftain?"

"...The same thing she says to me when she mates with other males? I am not concerned with such things. I am concerned with our survival as a people an--"

Wait a minute.

"Chieftain?"

Sharp Tongue tilts her head. "Yes. You're the only warrior here. That makes you Chieftain. I thought you had already figured that out."

"Hn...I am, aren't I? Hmm..." He taps his foreclaws together. "I must consider this."

"Yes. While you do that, I will be moving far away from you."

She stalks off in a huff.
