[Video]---Everywhere--OTA

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[The screen of the ICP shows a figure with a deep cowl in a blue, and hints of the VT-uniform in purple under the voluminous cloak. The top of the cowl means the upper half of the person's face is in shadow, and the rest of their features are pale.]

Um...hi.

[It's a female's voice, lower and calm--not quite deadpan.]

So, I came on board recently, and my name is Raven. I'm on the purple team.

[Awkward introduction is awkward, but none of that should be showing through in her manner.]

I've met some of you already.

[There's a pause and a slow blink, and now the awkwardness is showing somewhat.]

I'm speaking out though, because of the aftermath of the inspections. I'm an Empath--I sense emotions basically. I've been trained since I was very young though in my control over it, and I respect privacy a lot. Mostly because I'd want mine respected.

But I can also project my empathy--which is why I'm speaking up. If you're feeling overwhelmed or panicky and it's left over from the void-particles or whatever, if you want I can help you calm down.

[There's a shrug, and the awkwardness is definitely there now. If anyone has questions, now is a good time to ask them.]

That's very strange.. so it seemed to react or know that you were trying to 'phase' or was it reacting to the inspectors themselves?

[azrthmtrnznthos]

To me.

The impression I have from what they told us, is these things are designed to keep us safe, and react to us. So we don't have to wear bulky space-suits and stuff. Why it would react while we're in the train is probably because we were stopped and outside forces were coming in. But we don't have enough information.

[runs_on_batteries]

If it was reacting to you then would it matter if there were outside forces coming in? That would suggest it was reacting to your response of the perceived threat.

[He takes a few moments to think that over.]

Would you try to phase now?

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Not right now, since I'm talking to you and also waiting to see who might want some help.

But ask again when I'm not busy, and I'll demonstrate. I can also teleport.

And no, I still can't get into the Engineer's car. Or outside of the train-cars when we're traveling in the void. Even if I could, I'm not sure I would while going through the void.

[Tony gives her a look. He couldn't hold it too long before one edge of his lips curled upward.]

I heard you the first time. I meant to test whether or not it would react again to your intentions to warp. I'm not interested in whether you can get in further trouble yet!

You could try warping out of the room and then back in.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

I don't think it reacted to my intention to teleport. The ticket-takers seemed to indicate we need to wear them for OUR safety. It might also just have been a simple alarm of "hey, you're leaving your cabin".
