[ On the video feed today, a tired looking young man appears in the lounge. Miyuki has been going through notebook after notebook, and he's been up again trying to determine what the hell he could be doing. He's finally decided on turning on the watch. ]

Good afternoon. This is Miyuki Shirogane-- apologies if I've been a bit quiet lately. I've been spending a lot of time in the lounge attempting to get my bearings. I've... well, never been in space, and I wanted some time just to take it all in, I guess.

[ It was hard to deny that he had been spending an absurd amount of time stargazing. His childlike dreams come first! ]

That being said, I figured... there may be others who may not know what's been going on so well, so I was wondering if we could consolidate our information. I don't know if that's something we'd want to do through the video feed, or meet up somewhere to do so, but I figured I would put the idea on the table. I'm willing to take notes down, if necessary.

[ A pause. ] I figure as well, it may be good to... check on whether or not there's anyone who may be missing. If there's someone out there that hasn't been accounted for in a while.

Thank you for your time.

(( of course, threadjacking encouraged!! let's spread the joy and the info! ))

So was it affecting their sanity in some way? I encountered an inorganic race once...but the Null were considerably less civil than the people of Struxta, based on your description.

I believe it was. They were forgetting what it was like to be organic. Our presence stirred those memories.

There was a faction that detached from the...greater consciousness and hid beneath the city in older tunnels. It's only once we interacted with them that the system saw us as a threat.

So the system, in essence, saw your presence as corrupting it.

[That's what she's getting from this, in any case.]

That's right. It saw all organic life and the presence of it as a weakness. Now, people have a chance to be individuals again. They'll never be organic again...but they can be themselves. Whatever that self is.
