Hey. This is Dante. You've probably seen me around base, even if we haven't actually talked (trust me).

Since we've just had some new people arrive, I figured now would be as good a time as any to put this out there. I'm not sure if anyone would be interested, but one of my duties back home was to have one-to-one consultation sessions with the employees in our department (still is, technically). It's nothing too earth-shattering, just checking in and helping work through anything anyone needs to get off their shoulders, but I thought I'd offer since it seems to help us out and I know things here can get rough sometimes.

Oh, and there's no pressure to reply here if you'd rather have privacy. I've also got a sign-up sheet on my door (Revelation, room 006), if you'd rather set something up that way. Just make sure to show up at the time you pick.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

if there's more you want or feel you need to know, you can always ask, too. it's good for us to be on the same page

probably a good idea. nobody likes people who are TOO standoffish, generally

That's true...

[They'd been a little worried about bringing it up, but if they're going to be helping people out like this it won't do anyone any good to skirt around it.]

All right. What are the main things I need to know?

basically we responded to a distress signal that turned out to be a trap, a good quarter or third of our group were kidnapped and held prisoner to be used for a ritual sacrifice to a kaiju and were thusly tortured and tormented.

a couple of Outsiders died. friends of ours. I think that's what's bothering my fi-- friend so much

[...No wonder Ishmael didn't want to get too deep into it. They're glad they didn't push her to explain.]

I see... That's the kind of thing that would give anyone nightmares.

...Is your friend the only one bothered by it?

[intertwinedfates]

[Yeah, it was... a time, for sure. And this is just the summarized version of events.]

I'd be surprised if they are. you'd think something like that would leave one hell of a mental scar...

[He has nightmares of his own, but like hell he's getting into that. No thanks.]

It would, but be all deal with things in our own ways in order to survive. They don't always help us in the end, but... sometimes all you have at the moment's a bandage to put over it.
