[The day after he was drunk he sends this.]
Sorry if I behaved badly. I don't drink very often anymore. It's probably for the best. It was nice to meet you.
[He genuinely worries that he didn't make that much sense.]

Do you not remember the things you said last night?
There was no bad behavior. Don't worry!

I remember but I also vaguely remember trying to make sense and not being sure that I did.
But don't worry, I do recall a lot of the conversation. [At least the topics.]

It made enough sense to me!
For a drunk person, you were very good at following a conversation and contributing to it.

I was never too bad at it. I just sometimes forgot what the appropriate limits of conversation were. Or the appropriate limits of behavior.
[Thank god even drunk Kazuhira has matured to the point he didn't expose any part of himself in celebration as he would have ten years ago. Ten points for progress.]

Well I don't think you breached any codes of conduct with me, if you're still worried. :)
Would it still be alright to bring the dogs to Chioni? To a region that is comfortably cold for them, anyway.
Of course! The buildings here are domed against the climate, but I have access to outside and we can go whenever you'd like if it's in the afternoon here.
I'll make a point to do that.
Thanks again for keeping me occupied. And I know war probably isn't your favorite topic but I'm always happy for the chance to discuss the history.

I don't like war, but it's still interesting to learn about. And important too. If you know what didn't work in the past that caused war in the first place, maybe you can avoid it in the future.
[ Though the latest war in her world had to do with self-aware robots building other self-aware robots to take over so... not exactly something they could have looked to the past to avoid. ]

There's not been much avoiding it so far, I don't think. But there's always a lot to learn about it, either way. Victors. Peace-makers. Survivors.
But you're right. War's difficult to avoid but in a way it's a force within our control. Climate, though, doesn't answer to diplomacy or threats of mutually assured destruction.

That's true! I just can't seem to get climate to listen to me! :P
[ Mei, you are not a comedy genius. ]
But someday we'll come up with a way to keep it from changing too radically. The world is worth fighting for, after all!

Does it look like it's feasible? Slowing the radical change?
It's fine. I can't even get my C.O. to listen to me sometimes. I can't imagine the weather being any more responsive.
[He'll take that poor humor offer, thank you.]

Feasible, yes. But the cause is still a mystery. I won't know what steps to take until I lock that down.
Haha, maybe your C.O. is a storm in disguise!

[ Shortly after seeing this, Matthew feels compelled to text the person he knows who might actually be affected by it. ]

Yes, I saw.
I need to go have a checkup to make sure I'm okay.
[ Because the whole "expelling something" thing? Totally happened to her. :( ]

That AI said there would be a testing facility set up here on Chioni, so I'll go there.
I'm sure I'm all right now, but it's best to be sure.

Yeah, I'm sure.
I haven't really heard anything one way or the other. But if they did too, the doctors can help.

No, I've been taking decontamination showers. Now the only symptom I have is a weird skin color. :(
Nothing useful. Just that I would have to keep coming in for showers until they tell me otherwise.
Did you hear what that one guy said, about this thing being called Mother? Do you believe that? It makes me kind of sick to think I carried some sentient evil thing in me and let it loose here.
