*Yurika's making an official announcement! The video flickers on, and she waves... as for why she's dressed as a miko, there must be some explanation for that.*

Hi, everyone! I know what happened on the moon was really terrible, and we tried our best to stop it, but we couldn't... As the captain of the Nadesico, I would like to have a moment of silence for all the people lost in the surprise Festum attack.

*A minute goes by. Once it's over, Yurika coughs.*

We're all really trying hard to pick up the work that we've had to do in the work of our narrow victory, and as the highest-ranking Nergal official here, I have a lot of contract obligations to fulfill after this, so...



Could you all please, pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase help me out with the funerals?

I'll help. It's too much for any one person to deal with alone.

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Really? Great! I've already powered through at least twenty-five this morning, and I have the rest of this section to do for the rest of the day, and then we have to do the Catholics, so I have to find the nun outfit and the incense, and then the...

I would gladly help, I haven't found much else to busy myself with as of late. Painful work is always better with help!

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

I have just met you and I love you.

I'm sure there was a positive sentiment when this policy was put in place, but this is patently ridiculous.

"In the event of your death, Nergal Heavy Industries will provide a fully funded funeral according to your own specifications and officiated by a religious or government official; in the event of their absence, by your commander; in the event of your commander's death, by the highest-ranking Nergal employee in the vicinity."

I didn't even know this was in my contract...

[faux-gar.livejournal.com]

Are we really doing thousands of funerals?

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

We have to. More to the point, I have to!

[Cheng remained silent. Deliberating on the whole thing.]

How are we expected to assist?

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't really do all the preparations and ceremonies all on my own...

[Alexei sighs]

100000 funerals... Well... the more manpower that we have, the faster we can get through them. I suppose I can lend my support in any way I can...

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Really? You would?

[space-mcgyver.livejournal.com]

What's this?

[Picks up a random paper from the pile and reads it. Yes, it probably means Lowe is on the Yurika's side of the video conference.]

Classic Scandinavian burial with a funeral pyre? How are we going to do that?

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Find an atmosphere, I guess...

Oy vey, that was exhausting. How many more of the Hebrew funerals are left?

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

We're still counting, but... *points over to a stack of papers*

[saikyocivrobo]

Give me work that doesn't require talking or reading and I can do it 24 hours a day without breaks.

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

...I guess you can help carry coffins up to the front of the room?

[Coming into the office, wearing a monk robe and a bit of a red spot on her forehead.] That last one was kind of fun, considering that they wished to go out Monty Python style.

... well as fun as a funeral could be.

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

The next one wants to have his ashes turned into ink and printed onto the company newsletter! How are we going to do all of these?

[cleaves-evil.livejournal.com]

I will do everything I can. I have my own respects to pay...

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

We've got a lot of work to do. A lot...
