Alex heard the warning, and braced himself, but still slammed his head against the glass table. The slamming and his resulting groan were clearly audible over the intercom, and so were his loud curses. At her "All done," he switched off the intercom, but his loud swearing was able to be heard throughout the ship. Pushing himself up, muttering, he looked down at the screen. The random input had opened the surveillance system feed. Ah. That. He had forgotten to enable that. Switching the cameras on, he gained a view of every section of the ship, and the entirety of the outside of the ship.

The only movement, however, was in Engineering, where the pilot was, and the Lab Bay, where he was. Breaking apart the code, he looked at a sketchy-looking line. Recording everything was fine. Transmitting it back to the ISC? Not cool. Not able to delete the line, he set up a proxy server, and added a line of code that would reroute the recordings back to his computer. That meant he'd have two copies, but that was fine. He didn't like being watched. The comms alert immediately blinked, the blue circle indicative of a transmission from Base. Alex blithely flicked it off. Then, his console command was overridden, and Jack connected to the cockpit and Engineering intercoms, babbling about everything going dark. Whatever. Alex ignored the man, and muted his intercom to that incoming signal.

He then ran tests of the passive sensors. Primitive, yes, but this ship was loaded with every single piece of exploration equipment ever. Literally. They even had a surveyor's scope, and a compass. A COMPASS. Whatever good that would do in the depths of space.
Alex pressed a key, but nothing happened. That's when the shouting happened. She whipped around, staring at a man, dressed like a detective. The only difference from the normal uniform and his was that his clothing was slashed and bloody. He kept asking whether this was purgatory. Disturbed, Alex frowned. If anyone had to ask that question, it probably wasn't. But she wasn't about to say anythin- oh look. That Anti-theist who was debating all religious groups in Japan. While she was effective at getting the man off of his feet, she did it with a particularly heartless way. "You didn't have to say it like a bitch. We're all dead here." She didn't believe in God, or gods, if you were Shinto, but she respected other's beliefs.

Narrowing her eyes, Alexandria said, "I was slashed across the gut and stabbed by a foot-long knife in the heart. I can't think of any scenario that a human being comes out of that alive."

Raising her eyebrows at the 'common sense' bit, she laughed. Hands shaking, but with a look of determination in her eyes, she said, "You have no idea how much I am considering breaking down and curling into a ball right now. I. Am. Freaking. Terrified. I don't know where I am, I don't know if my students are safe, I don't know how I'm here."

As the detective poked around the room, going to the laptop first, she said, "Doesn't work. I tried." Listening to everyone speak, she walked up to where the Detective was, and stared out over the city, Tokyo Tower clearly visible. She whispered, "Minato..." She turned to the detective, eyes lit up with the triumph of discovery. "Kabukicho is on the south side of Shinjuku! We're not far from where I.... died." Her eyes fell at this, but she still held an air of triumph about her. She had figured it out.
Vanishing GM... a fatal disease.
@Midori I'd appreciate it if everyone slowed down for DJ, and myself included. You know that I can post quickly, I usually don't.
@knighthawk Athinar has a soul. It's that of a Keeper of a distant world, but still. He's got one.
@Hexaflexagon In regards to your signature:

@Mr_pinkSorry man, but have a good trip!
O-O I Have no clue what you are talking about.
@dndragons The Heroine is my character, but I will be controlling all NPCs as well.
@BBeast Hey, all battle plans will disappear upon contact with the enemy. Or maybe he'll give the order to follow the plan while he's in that state.
