Meet N' Greet

[cityship]

||Initiating Meet and Greet. Crew members, for the sake of morale, there will be periodic meetings on the Obs Deck so that newer members of the crew can be welcomed and so the crew can communicate with one another.||

Apparently, Stacy liked to throw a party now and again.

[ooc: Anyone may start new threads here]

"I've heard that mentioned, though not in terribly great detail." More like 'there was a rebellion, and it happened, and we won,' which...left plenty of things to be curious about. "Could you tell me more about that?"

"I'm not the most politically active, so take my story as you will," Morgan said as he gathered his thoughts. Where to start...

"This ship, along with others like it, was created by the Daligig, who are the worst enemies of the Ohm, as I understand it. The purpose was to do just what it's doing -- save people to form a crew. We're the second crew; the first, the Daligig killed off because they wouldn't obey. The reason for that is... probably the same one we have; the Daligig essentially chose to treat us like tools, without any regard for our basic existence. Sit down, shut up, do as you're told, no matter how horrible that actually is."

Saitō didn't blink. "And how horrible did that get?"

[morganknight]

"Atrocities of war. I suppose death was the worst of it, though I've heard enough stories of some of the missions that people went on to wonder... I think the worst one I've heard of was when several of our crew were essentially branded as lesser creatures just for the crime of existing."

He suspected that explaining cloning might sidetrack the discussion too far for an easy recovery.

"Death is unavoidable in war." And Saitō had done a few things that might qualify as atrocities himself, by how the Chōshū liked to describe the Shinsengumi's actions. "But there is no honor forcing a fight upon those who are not prepared to die."
