[Hei looks very unamused, his face pretty much blank of any emotion as Li's usual cheerful demeanor is gone now that his Contractor persona has mostly taken control of the situation. The Captain wants them all as dead as a doorknob, so it's time to take this as seriously as possible. What's mostly interesting to those who know him is that he's

[ Sasuke notes some of the changes, and greets Hei with a very serious face of his own. ]

What prompts you to say that?

I'm sure you remember when the bots were going around throwing a bunch of us into the cells, correct? I was thrown into Cell One for sneaking out at night. While there I kept hearing beetles swarming on the floor, yet whenever I turned on the lights they weren't anywhere to be seen. I did find a message carved on the floor, though. It read, "it's on lvl 3."

I've been looking for a Level 3 ever since.

Cryptic, but more useful than anything I was left with after that week.

[ Sasuke frowns. Really, it doesn't make sense. ]

Going by numbers alone, we haven't seen seven levels, and three levels are collapsed into the Enviro-Dome alone. New levels haven't opened for weeks.

[ a quiet moment. ]

There's likely a bridge, but it's possible we're misinformed number-wise, and there are no levels below Eight.

This entire ship is nothing but cryptic.

[Silence for a moment as Sasuke speaks. Hei's expression just stays the same.]

There must be lower levels than eight for sure. We just can't access them yet for a reason only the Captain knows. If he doesn't know, then no one knows. If we survive long enough on this ship we'll just have to find out on our own where level three is once the ship wants us to.

The levels themselves just seem to keep appearing. It's almost like the ship itself wants us to find them ever so slowly.

[celestial_okami]

Level three? What are you talking about?

[blackreactor]

Awhile back there was a message carved into the floor where I spent some time. It said "it's on lvl 3." I've been trying to figure it out on my own since then to no avail. There just isn't a Level 3 we can access.

[She thinks for a moment, her ears flicking forward.]

Or maybe we just cannot access it yet.

I was thinking that as well. Levels keep appearing to us every once in awhile. I suppose we'll just have to wait for level three to reveal itself to us. Until then... We have to survive. The Captain wants us to die and so the ship is following his orders.

[dawnward]

[...well that's interesting.

you're not doing very well at being inconspicuous, Hei]

Still staying out of trouble?

[blackreactor]

As much as I can while the ship wants to kill us.

[dawnward]

You're pretty calm about it.

What's so important about level three?

[blackreactor]

It's not that unusual for me.

Level 3 is so important because, as far as we all know, it doesn't exist to us.

[katsuragi_yako]

Haven't we only gone to Level Eight?

[blackreactor]

That is correct.

[solvethemystery]

You're certain?

[blackreactor]

I am.

[solvethemystery]

And the source of your conviction?
