It sounds like an ordeal. You were successful in the end, weren't you?

[ it would be awful to have to go through all that and fail. ]

Mm. I am not sure we all would have made it back here otherwise. Adrastea-sama wasn't even able to land our ship near us with all the vines.

... if they ask you to go on a mission, just be on guard. Even if you refuse, you will likely still end up on it anyway. However, I was able to get some use of my normal abilities back while there-- I do not know if that will always be the case though. Something was interfering with the nanites.

A precarious trade-off. I would feel safer if the nanites were interfered with, but that means I would likely be in a more dangerous environment.

[ not that the eudora is 100% safe. ]

I do not want to see anyone come back like that again, but I know that is unrealistic on this ship.

I think we should all be prepared for it. The fact that there were two groups in one day is also concerning, if that continues as well. The number of people potentially in danger each week will increase by a lot...

[ plus, the other potential danger of people dying, but at this point they don't have the confirmation of that occurring yet. ]

It's one danger after another. I didn't expect this to be safe place, but this is more than I anticipated. [ and so soon. ]

I'll expect it to happen again instead of being an oddity.

[ better to be paranoid than taken unawares. ]

It is very likely, yes. If it does, at the very least it sounds like they put you in a group instead of singling you out.

[ since the other ones was another group of four. ]

Just make sure you are all on the same page. With us, we got separated, but it worked out. However, without my abilities, I am not sure if it would have worked out the way at did.

There may be safety in numbers, but it also makes those groups more vulnerable when lockdown happens.

[ since she doesn't know how mg mechanics work but is still assuming someone might die tonight.

what she hears is if he didn't get some of his abilities back, he'd be closer to dead. ]

... I'll do my best.

[ she prefers working alone. (dangerous) group projects are not her thing. ]

At the very least, I do not expect you to place your life in someone else's hands. That is something with a weight that is too heavy for most to carry.

[ he would not be able to do that himself. ]

But simply... do not close a door if you don't have to. We are at a disadvantage.

I do not reject aid when it is necessary.

[ usually. sometimes. ]

I know when I am helpless.

[ that comes out almost bitter. ]

[ his expression turns a little more serious. ]

Unfortunately, I think we are all some level of helpless here. Until we figure out how to solve that.

Going off ship on dangerous missions seems to solve part of it.

[ it's kind of a joke, but she is also serious. she knows nothing about nanites. ]

If there were a way to expel those nanites, I would.

They are far more troublesome than they are worth, especially since I have not really encountered any of the benefits they seem to boast.

[ the hilarity of them supposedly monitoring your health and luke still just went and died of tb. ]

[ every terminal condition is now tb ]

It may as well be a nonsense word for all it's done of any of us.

I could believe they are beneficial to some, in a normal situation, but they seem to also be made with a very specific type of people in mind... if they're going to be used on people from different worlds you'd think they would be more inclusive.
