First things first: Reader shout outs to

@israfel00

@freakfagot

@lwgph

@butterflies-orgasms

A couple of these names are not new, but I still wanted to extend some appreciation.

Also, thank you to @baelpenrose for helping me get over the over-thinking this chapter and the next one or two.

Content warnings on this chapter for:

Mention of Nazis

Mention of genocidal acts

Mention of the “Saffron Terror” which is not the politically correct name for the event but is, unfortunately, the one that leads to accurate results on Western Google. (Please tell me the correct name if you know it, and I will change it. I hate having to use that name so that people can look it up and get the facts)

Historical recounting of being in a concentration camp. It was way worse to hear in person when I was fourteen years old, and the details are worse, but the facts are accurate. Unfortunately.

Due to the number and severity of the warnings, TL;DR: Sophia and Parvati talk. Parvati isn’t ready to come back to work yet, but they meet at the Undine to talk things over.

Still working on the buffer, but... happy new year, everyone.

The day after I pitched the concept of giving everyone on the ship the chance to pitch every functional idea they had as alternatives to outright killing the Eko-mari once we were on the planet, Parvati sent me a message that she wanted to meet and talk on neutral ground. As much as I wanted to believe this was a coincidence, there was a non-zero chance that she had been copied on the recording of the session.  If it meant she was willing to talk, however, I honestly didn’t care.

That is exactly what I reminded myself hours later, when I was sipping a drink in the Undine and evaluating the merit of the soft music that was playing.  It was something with soft horns, very mellow. I kept expecting it to crescendo, but instead it would smooth back out like a lazy river. Very good choice, overall.

“Seriously?”

I was snapped out of my soft, grey headspace to look up at a dark and disappointed eyebrow.

“It’s virgin,” I told Parvati, wiggling my bloody mary at her.

She shook her head and took a seat. “I pity whoever your doctor ends up being. Your blood pressure must be insane.”

Snapping my fingers, I winked at her. “Joke’s on you. My blood pressure is around my ankles somewhere, always has been. Super efficient kidneys or something. Tyche’s even worse off.”

“Must be nice,” she whistled softly.

“Spoken by someone who has clearly never had to genuinely worry about fainting every time they stand up.” I cleared my throat. “But you aren’t here to talk about my health. How are you feeling?”

“Not ready to come back to work, for sure,” she sighed, waving Sebastian over. “Wine, please. Just bring the bottle. And a carafe of water.”

He glanced at me and held up two fingers. Draining my salty tomato juice, I nodded. “No rush on coming back to work. You’re only missing the riveting world of housing assignments and bivouac suit inventory.”

“Thrilling,” she deadpanned before smiling gently. “I do plan on coming back, just not yet.  I need some perspective that isn’t coming from the Council or someone adjacent…. I’ve basically been couch-surfing for the past week, because I couldn’t sleep in my quarters or be around Xiomara without questioning my life choices.” She sighed again. “Xio doesn’t deserve that.”

“Parvati… Please tell me you’ve talked to her already?”

“Pfft! Sorry, Sebastian, that wasn’t about you. You’re lovely,” she responded as he returned. He grinned, shaking his head, and once he had opened the wine and stepped away, she continued. “I wouldn’t be here if I couldn’t face her first. That would be beyond cowardly, not to mention cruel. No, I spoke with her yesterday, as soon as I was in the right mindset.”

Oh. “So… this isn’t directly because of the proposal to the Council?”

“Not immediately, no.  I’ll admit that this meeting happened much sooner because of it, but I was meeting her for breakfast when I got the notification. This would have happened eventually.”

“Thank fuck,” I exhaled. “Theoretically, our department is over-staffed and can survive without you. In reality, I was wracking my brain to figure out if there was anything I could do without directly reaching out to you. I wasn’t expecting you to reach out until maybe a week or three before planetfall.”

“I was pretty angry,” she admitted, finishing her first glass of water and pouring each of us one of wine. “But then I remembered someone else.”

“Who?”

She shook her head before repeating herself, enunciating carefully. “Someone. Else. I remembered Else.”

Even more confused, I cut my glance over to the nearby wall, where multiple fist-sized puffballs trundled and chirped happily in tune with the music. “Vati, you love Else. You event plan around them. What was there to remember?”

Delicately, she held a finger out and picked one up. “I was walking in the corridors, just wandering… And two people were arguing - ironically about the Eko-mari. I didn’t even realize that was what they were talking about when I walked past.” Holding the puff to her face, she nudged it with her nose playfully. “And they I heard one say ‘It’s not like they’re Else, is it?’.”

Oh.

She kept going, petting the Else-chick gently with one finger despite how upset she sounded. “And yeah, they’re cute and useful… now. But they weren’t originally. In fact, they were killing us. They almost did kill several people. It was a close call.”

As much as I wanted to politely say ‘I know’, there was no way for it to sound anything other than sarcastic.  Instead, I literally bit my tongue and let her get her mind together.

It didn’t take long. “But we actively saved them.  Not just that, we made sure they were given every chance to thrive - a nebula, a ferrous planet, and we brought them with us. Even knowing they could kill us at the time, with no guarantee that the fact would change.” Ruffling the chick elicited a trilling coo, and she smiled. “Humans do that, don’t we? We domesticated predators to the point that we can’t be happy without them… We can survive, but we would be very sad. We love and we love, to the point that we wanted to befriend a lethal emergent species and make allies of a fleet of nightmares.”

By this point, her hands were trembling with emotion, even as she stroked her cheek with the bright yellow ball of chirping fluff. “Charly and you would never go along with outright killing someone if there was any other option,” she whispered hoarsely. “I don’t understand what tells you both, and several others, that it’s the best option, but I knew even before the communication this morning that you would have found another way if there was one.”

“Is that why you’re here?”  I asked. “To find out what we understand that you don’t?”

“It’s essential,” she confirmed. “Not just to our role, but to my mind. What am I not seeing?”

At this point, I was flat out confused. I carefully set my glass down, turning it slowly as I tried to think. “Parvati,” I started hesitantly. “When we say the Eko-mari aren’t like Else… Else was emergent, right? They were basically destructive children who didn’t know any better. When a child throws something that feels good to throw, you don’t kill them if they break a window or hit their sibling in the eye with it. You teach them better, right?”

She nodded and gently placed Else back on the wall with the rest.

Bracing, I forced myself to continue. “The Eko-mari aren’t children. They were warring with people from other worlds when we were figuring out how to rub sticks together and make fire.  It was in the Galactic Curriculum, we all took it.” I paused and she nodded to confirm. “Okay, so… They aren’t children who don’t know better. They’re… they’re space Nazis,” I finished lamely.

Contrary to her quiet demeanor to this point, her head dropped back, her hands fisted hard enough to whiten her knuckles, and I could hear her teeth clench and grind from where I was sitting. After a low growl, her head snapped up like a woman possessed. “Stop. Saying. That. Word,” she hissed between her teeth. “It doesn’t mean to me what it does to you!”

That was unexpected. I blinked silently and let her keep going.

She blew several breaths from her nose, smoothing her hands flat across the table. “I’m not stupid, I know Nazis were bad. I’m pretty sure everyone on Earth was aware of that. But I did not have family or neighbors, or the family of neighbors who were impacted by it like so many people seem to have. Yes, my country sent soldiers to war. Yes, we hosted an Allied base. Our people starved in droves, but it was due to the choices of the British. Nothing new there. Nazis are, largely, academic to me. But they lost, and as you are so fond of saying, winners write history.”

“This is why I was so frustrated,” she seethed, impressing me with her ability to keep from shouting, “The Baconist Rebellion? I remember. Nihilous Rex? All too well. But even those don’t elicit that gut-level response so many of you have.” Four long, slow breaths as she rolled her glass between her hands, collecting the cool condensation before rubbing it on her throat to cool down. “But Alistair said something else… he called them fascists.” The word sounded funny, telling me it had been translated and translated back. “By the time I had calmed down, I was sitting in the Archive, trying to find peace.”

Arminta was strict about quiet in the Archives, even more so than Alistair had been. I wasn’t surprised when anyone went there looking for quiet and solitude.

“I started doing research - honest to gods, hands on paper research. After all, if what Odvub had said about the Eko-mari was true, I couldn’t trust the digital system with this.” The tension melted from her as she recalled it, and I was more than a little envious. “Topic notwithstanding, it was lovely. But I found what had been tickling my mind about fascists - what the press called the ‘Saffron Terror’.” Given the way she spat the words, I immediately logged them as one to avoid. “In the first decade of the millennium, there was a huge Hindu ethno-nationalist movement.  I remember my parents whispering about where the most recent bombing were, praying for people in whispers, and not understanding until I was older that they were praying for the Muslims who had been killed.”

She choked up, causing her to pour and chug two glasses of water before she could compose herself. “I was the Germans,” she whispered. “My family weren’t the Nazis, but we were definitely the Germans. Not even the kind who can say we hid Jewish people.”

“Vati…”

She snapped her fingers in front of my face. “No. We do not pity me. We do not. I learn, and we move forward.” Snap, snap, snap. “I am better than that. Pita did not raise a coward.” Once she was sure I was listening, she relaxed slightly. “That was when I knew I needed to speak with Xiomara. I came here to understand what it is from the side of the people attacked so I can understand.”

I sat back, chin pulled tight to my throat. “Parvati…” I waved at myself: blonde, blue eyed, wide hips. “I have no clue. Only thing my family was victim of was being poor and mostly pagan. And that second one quit being a killing offense wayyyy beyond living memory.”

“Then I will ask someone else, again, as soon as I can. Why do you have such a reaction?”

“Oh, that’s easier,” I exhaled, relieved. “When we were learning about the Holocaust in school, the teacher played a recording of a woman… Miss Rose.  She had only passed somewhat recently - my teacher filmed this interview, and it was less than twenty years old at the time. Maybe closer to ten?” I thought for a moment before shuddering. “Miss Rose had survived Buchenwald, one of the concentration camps.  The things she talked about… and she was so detached. There’s something you recognize, that you identify with, when someone has survived abuse and treats it like just a part of life. But this was - it was so far above and beyond anything I would ever experience, and she talked about it like it was being spanked for punching her sibling. ‘These little holes are scars from where the mites would eat into us’. So casual…” I shook my head to snap my way out of the memory. “You don’t forget that. I’ve watched interviews with serial killers that didn’t hold a candle to the chills that video gave me. And she survived. How much worse happened to the ones who didn’t?”

It was her turn to blink at me. “What the hell is happening in NorthAm schools?” she hissed to herself before making a comical voice. “Oh, yes, let’s traumatize the children.” Rolling her eyes, she turned back to me with a softer look. “But it makes sense.  Still, you have to use a different word if you want everyone to understand what you’re saying.”

I spread my hands, palms open. “As you are aware, I am open to suggestions.”

Planting her index finger firmly on the table, she started stabbing out her points. “Just say fascist, and include a link.” Thunk. “Better yet, have Arthur - no, Simon - record a short lesson on it and send it out as required prior to voting for or against the original plan.” Thunk. “Definitely Simon, but anyway…. So people know what they are voting on, not just ‘Fascists equal bad’.” Thunk “Nils wasn’t the first to call his enemies that name, whether it was true or not.  Mandatory informed decisions are better.”

“As much as I love the suggestion, I don’t like having to explain to Arthur why he’s not doing the lesson.”

She flipped her hair over her left shoulder. “I will tell him, and make it clear he does not have a choice.”

“I’m not sure if that’s a threat or a promise, but I’m not arguing. Cheers.”

EKO PROJECT WEEK 1

We will be using a new program called eko that I've never used to make an interactive comic. We first thought of a social issue to base our comic on.

I've decided to do mine about mental health as its a subject that means a lot to me as I am currently struggling a lot with mine, as are many people I know.

It will focus on the importance of checking in on your friends and the effect of a single text message asking how someone is doing.

Chapter 21: Good Cellphones, Bad Cellphones

Eko wants to sing so she drags Hiroshi out. Somehow, they end up at school where a couple of girls want to take a picture of Hiroshi using Eko like a phone. Eko says no and Hiroshi says that's the end of the matter, despite Eko being his possession. One girl, named Sakuraya, doesn't have a phone but wants to use somebody else's instead of Eko because she's too "inconvenient" as a cell phone that can literally pick and choose when or when not to be used. She asks doesn't that make her a bad cell phone?

A pissed Hiroshi steps in and says Eko is a very superior cell phone. Sakuraya challenges him to prove that she's superior. That shuts him up real quick...and Eko still wants to sing. She drags Hiroshi off, leaving the girls behind. Sakuraya apologizes, saying she didn't mean to say those things and another girl excuses her by saying she only did it because she doesn't like cell phones. She was chill at first but she got pissed when Hiroshi pointed out she didn't have a cell phone.

Hiroshi takes Eko to the toy store to buy her one toy, trying to make up for not defending her properly to the girls. So naturally the girls meet them at the store by chance...

Hiroshi, still understandably steamed, asks why they're there and accuses them of following him and Eko. Sakuraya snaps back they're just there to buy a stuffed toy for the one named Meguko. They get in the elevator...that breaks.

The buttons don't work and the doors won't open. So Eko sings and she and the other girls play a board game they somehow have with them...but Hiroshi and Sakuraya are still pissed. After apparently three hours pass, someone brings up why no one is using their cell phone. They ask Sakuraya for her permission (?!) and she says it's okay. Alas, no signal. Hiroshi asks Eko if she is getting a signal and she says yes. But she won't make a call.

Meguko is having some type of health problem so Hiroshi, remembering what Sakuraya said, tells her to make the call. She says no again and Hiroshi tries to figure out what her deal is. He wonders if she holds a grudge against Sakuraya for what she said to the point that she's straight up willing to let another girl die because of it. Then, they see a small light through the crack in the door. Eko tells them to stand back and blasts the door open with her arm cannon, getting everybody free. She personally helps Sakuraya out and everybody gets to go home.

The next day, Hiroshi is still wondering why she just blasted the doors open instead of just calling for help. Then they find Sakuraya who apologizes for what she said about Eko being a bad cellphone. It's then that Sakuraya drops the bombshell: Sakuraya has a pacemaker in her heart. She says that she figures that Eko thought her cell signals would interfere with her pacemaker but assures her that the latest pacemakers do not have that problem. Still, despite knowing that, Sakuraya had a dim view of cell phones but Eko has shown her the light: now she wants a cell phone. The story ends with Hiroshi in awe of his phone.
