[ 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?

[aimsforknees]

Aurora asked if we wanted to see a world that was dying.

[tinflower]

but we're meant to remove the king. their old world is already gone

this train isn't very good for watching a world die

[aimsforknees]

[ Maybe the king is the only thing keeping this world alive. Maybe they're putting it out of its misery. ]

This might be all they have left. This is the dying.
