[The screen flickers on to a boy wearing an amused grin.]

Everyone!

I've got good news!  You're forgiven!  The angel I summoned said so himself; God would definitely forgive you in a heartbeat because man's heart is weak, as is his mind, and we're all, uh, susceptible to the workings of the Evil One, and even as we wallow in our filth and sin, we -- You know what, forget God; I forgive you.

Seriously, no one could possibly blame you for what happened last week even if some of us were lucky enough to be scorpion magnets.  Misery has it right - the important thing is to make sure that it doesn't happen again.  If you all missed the announcements from the higher-ups, the people who were affected most severely were Scorpios.  ...If you don't know what that means, in modern times on Earth - that's the 2000s - they were born when the Sun was in the sector of the sky dominated by the constellation Scorpio.  This makes no sense if you were born outside Earth or in a time when we didn't go in for ridiculous things like pretending arbitrary sky-pictures meant anything about our lives, but the important thing is that the sun transitions into Scorpio beginning on October 23rd.

Guess what last week was.

The next sign is Sagittarius.  The sun will shift into its sector on November 22nd.

So let's clear a few things out of the way - Everyone who was afraid, can you report in with your sign?  Same thing if you were a scorpion magnet, though maybe that's more of a subjective thing.  And everyone who's a Sagittarius, do you mind if we tie you to your beds from November, oh, 18th-ish to the 23rd?  Your choices are (Yes/Of course/Definitely).  If your name is Jun, (That's kinda kinky) works, too.  If you don't know your sign, Sagittarius goes from late November into late December - so the end of a harvest season into winter in the Northern hemisphere, and the end of spring into summer in the South.

I'll keep track of the data.  It's kinda my thing.

Oh -- this has nothing to do with anything, but I'm working in the computer labs of the university now.  Drop by if you ever need anything fixed or if you just want to say hi.

The dread sagittarius, the constellation associated with my gene father.

Ominous.

They don't. It was in an old and inaccurate book he told me about once, when he was explaining a conversation he had with his father, the Emperor, on the night they first met.

Well, you're definitely right about that. Blegh.

Maybe it was a one-off? Scorpions are pretty creepy.

It was my father's association, not mine.

I'm a Leo. And thank you again for helping me last week.

I'm a Gemini and I wasn't affected at all, if that helps your data. Neither was my brother.

I do know someone who was afraid, but I'm actually not sure what his sign is. [It's probably a good time to wheedle birthdays out of everyone she knows...]

Sir, the ID cards come printed with your sign on it. I think.

Perhaps you could check your ID card?

[Xion meanwhile lives in a universe where there are many different worlds. Even if they share the same sky. One sky, one destiny. And she's... never heard of being born constellations.]

Wait, so...

[... She's trying to puzzle through that but...]

You're right, that doesn't make any sense to me.

Um... I had a friend of mine who was afraid but... I don't know any of these signs or anything, though... I guess they have to do with birthdays? [On that note, she doesn't know Aqua's birthday either]

I was okay though.

For one, thank you for taking initiative to do this, as I haven't been able to.

Secondly, I am a Cancer, and given I nearly had an eye taken out, I would say I was one of those being swarmed. It might be better to ask for the other Seven's details from my sister, I'm still not at 100%.


[By which he means he got a lot of punctures from damn stupid scorpions and is still on forced bedrest for fear Reiko will kill him if he moves an inch]

Hm... I think my card said Aquarius? Though, I'm not exactly certain what all the astrology signs mean.

[Guess who is going to the library now that she knows what subject to look up...]

I applaud you for taking the initiative in attempting to figure out why exactly it affected those it had. It's impressive to see someone so young attempt to do so.

To answer your inquiry, however:

I am a Capricorn by your standards. While I was not afflicted by fear, I was indeed targeted by the scorpions. I also noticed a slight increase in power for Scorpios and those like myself, however minute it was.

Capricorn. I was getting swarmed, too.

I believe I'm a Cancer. The zodiac isn't an area that was deemed worthy of study when I was learning and it just seemed something silly the women of the crew obsessed over when I was out of it.

That being said, other than being swarmed by scorpions I was fine, and honestly, most of them were deflected by distortion fields.

Also if you need a mainframe to store your data on, I have access to a rather sizable amount of computing power.
