[she hasn't encountered the shai personally, knock on wood, but she's heard things about them. And her thoughts immediately stray to what happens when you mix shai vomit and the laws of physics together—]

. . . eww.

[cicatrize]

[ y e p. basically that exactly. ]

Understatement of the century.

[dreamvour]

I'm really glad I didn't go, then. Sorry if you got caught in it, though.

[or maybe he was lucky and didn't get caught in it, who knew. But he was still over there witnessing it]

Did we get a lot of new people?

[cicatrize]

I think I'll live.

[ he's showered, cleaned off his gear, had a milkshake and bugged topher for a while, he's good now. ]

About the same amount as last time. Around 50.

[dreamvour]

So not as many as the first time . . . interesting.

[she looks thoughtful before she shrugs it off] I doubt they're evenly spread across the teams, though.

[cicatrize]

No, not as the first time. There weren't any senior recruits with Neheda before we dropped, but the officers seem like they'd had crew before.

[ so, what happened to those crews? it's not a very easing thought. ] Who knows. You can probably check the data files.

[dreamvour]

That's effort. Though I probably will, because I'm curious.

[she didn't hold reservations about checking the files, like a lot of people seemed to have here] I doubt they'd assign us instructors who hadn't done this before, though. It seems like a big thing.

[cicatrize]

Helps to know who you'll have to deal with soon anyway. [ jack makes a habit of always checking in on the new recruits of his team. it's just a good idea, really. he never got the people who have reservations about it. ]

So that leaves the two options of did the crew before us die or get promoted?

[dreamvour]

I'd bet on them being transferred somewhere else, honestly. Maybe a few of them got promotions, probably a few deaths, but . . . they're probably somewhere else, doing what we're doing right now.

[cicatrize]

It'd make sense. I'm not sure if anyone's really asked the officers before.

[dreamvour]

I'm pretty sure that's because people like to come to their own conclusions.
