[In sharp, meticulously neat handwriting:]

I'm Edge Maverick from Earth. Are there any other crew members of the SRF-003 Calnus around? I'd like to regroup and exchange information if it's possible. If you don't know what I'm talking about feel free to disregard this. Thank you!

Too late. Now I'm curious.

[the_earths_edge]

Curious? About what exactly?

[likeraditz]

It's a ship you're talking about, right?

[the_earths_edge]

The Calnus? Yeah! Are you capable of space travel where you're from?

[Voice]

[the_earths_edge]

H-hello? I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean.

[Voice]

[the_earths_edge]

I-- [A sharp pause as his mind races. It's no organization he's heard of.]

I'm sorry. I've never heard of that organization. I'm with the SRF.

[book_of_chaos]

The ... Calnus? [His ears prick up in surprise at the somewhat familiar name. While he had never been aboard the starship himself, Claude had spoken of his father's ship a few times.] Are you from the Earth Federation?

[the_earths_edge]

Yeah! You know the Cal-- Wait, what's the Earth Federation? [Blink.]

[book_of_chaos]

[And Leon blinks back. Was this guy from a different version of Earth too, then?] The Earth Federation. It's an alliance of several planets, but Earth established it.

[the_earths_edge]

[He thinks for a long moment.]

What's the Space Date-- last you knew, anyway?

[Voice]

[13th_captain]

[He just stares at the written message for a long while before he responds. How ironic... Myuria had returned home not long ago, and now Edge shows up? The Malnosso really did like to mess with people.]

Took you long enough.

[But there's a faint hint of amusement to his tone.]

[Voice]

[the_earths_edge]

[No. Freakin'. Way. He knows that voice!]

A-Arumat! No way! You're here? Is that really you?

[Voice]

[13th_captain]

[He'll just hold up the journal so Edge can get a good look at him through it.]

You would accuse me of lying?

[Voice]

[the_earths_edge]

No, of course not! [He waves his hand and shakes his head vigorously.]

I just-- I didn't expect to see you again, Arumat...

[Voice]

[hisdarkmark]

[...Calnus. Crew. Maverick?

...oh bloody hell. He's very well aware who Edge is, but...he's feeling a bit vindictive at the moment. How dare the Malnosso take away Myuria and instead replace her with...well, a derp-Captain. Honestly.]

Bit of a bold move on your part, isn't it? Carelessly throwing around details like that without actually knowing if anyone you know will respond. Seems slightly careless for a captain.

[Voice]

[the_earths_edge]

[Oh hell. Edge splutters a bit, searching for an adequate defense.]

I-- Didn't think it'd be much of a problem in this place. Everyone's from different worlds anyway so there's no way to stop technology from being shared.

I know it seems a little rash, but there's really not much of a point. Everyone's in the same boat here, right?

[Voice]

[hisdarkmark]

[Successss.]

It still seems rather foolish to me, but if you want to share all of your world's secrets, be my guest.

Let's say I knew exactly what you were talking about. What sort of information could you have that I wouldn't already know?

[Voice]

[the_earths_edge]

I'm not sure. My only point was to find out if any of my crew is around.

[Ugh, what is with this guy? Edge is trying really hard to remain professional-ish at least...sorta.]
