[ RIP indeed. John is enough of a boomer old enough that he squints at the lack of capitalization and inconsistent punctuation, but maybe that's just what the kids are into these days. How's he supposed to know? ]

If that's the case I would guess the king is a thing instead of a person. Maybe it's hidden in the sealed carriage. Some of us are going to break in.

[ Is it wise to tell Gorgug his plans? On one hand he has no clue how good Gorgug is at keeping secrets, or who he might spread it to. On the other, there's too much ground to cover to be silo-ing information like this. And Gorgug has been forthcoming with his help multiple times so far. ]

do you need anything to break in? have you got enough stuff to work with?

[ Gorgug, internally, chanting: break-ing IN, break-ing IN, break-ing IN ]

[aimsforknees]

We're good. I'll let you know if anything comes up.

[ after the break in ]

[aimsforknees]

We found a robot and star maps. The robot seems old and knows that the king is in the locomotive. Do you have any information on how to get inside?

[tinflower]

no. it's locked and no one can get in. people fix other stuff around the train but we don't do there

unless you want to break into there too

[aimsforknees]

Don't think that's the plan yet. We're gathering information now. Some people in the group are cautious of spreading what we know so you didn't hear it from me, got it?

[tinflower]

why are they worried?

[aimsforknees]

Suspicions about the network, mostly.

[tinflower]

i think we would be fucked already if they were somehow picking up on the network and listening in

you don't care if i say anything? as long as i don't point it back to you

[aimsforknees]

People were debating how much to say in the first place. I think it'll only be so long before someone cracks. Shouldn't be traceable back to me.

[tinflower]

i get the thinking to an extent, i guess. but okay, i won't say your name

how busted up is the carriage now? is everyone going to find out it got broken into anyway?

[aimsforknees]

We exploded the door a little. The guards got called. Little scuffle.

[tinflower]

that's not too bad

i wonder what everyone will do now though. now that it's open

[aimsforknees]

We took everything inside, it's empty now.

[tinflower]

how full was it?

[aimsforknees]

Not that full. The robot and some star maps. Stuff we can hide easily enough.

[tinflower]

okay

let me know if they plan to do anything with it? there might be people on board who would be good to get the maps

i don't know but it's not like we're going to be on this train forever

[aimsforknees]

Who do you have in mind?

[tinflower]

no idea

but the idea sounded logical in my head?? i heard a guy called odin is a head engineer in neon is good at his job but i've never talked to him

i don't know if he's secretly a bad guy

[aimsforknees]

Too risky to clue him in.

[tinflower]

okay. someone else might have a better idea

[aimsforknees]

We should keep it amongst ourselves.

[tinflower]

we should keep everything?

[aimsforknees]

At least until we know who or what the king is. But this could be useful back in Etraya. Pieces of a puzzle we can't see yet.

[tinflower]

[ He thinks about that for a minute. ]

what if the king is the train's way of finding a new planet?
