Azi, Maddy, and George:
As Maddy's character pointed out in-character on the Autumn Star, Cnossos could not have heard the message, and should have no knowledge beyond what the captain has mentioned in the briefing.
I suspect this was an honest mistake on your part, but I think it does need to be addressed. Because if Cnossos actually knows this stuff, that suggests he already knew who would be reaching out to us, which to our other characters would seem deeply suspicious. There's also currently no narrative reason for him to know it.
For the sake of continuity, I would request that the three of you edit your post to remove mention of the information that Cnossos shouldn't know. I think Azi should only have to remove this bit:

Captain Castell, the woman in silken robes had not told you her name, she apparently guessed it was you involved, and she wanted the research supplies amidst an offline facility and disappeared patrols. If the silky woman knew you, she knew of your reputation, knew that we were expendable.
And George and Maddy should only have to edit the parts of their posts that call Cnossos out.
Even if you don't want to make the edits, I think it would be best if our characters carry on as if the exchange didn't happen, to prevent our characters from getting too hung up on it IC. It was a continuity error on my part. Since the roleplay was partly inspired by Mass Effect (as its first post mentions), and since Cnossos wears a military suit, I figured he would have been able to pick it up and overhear it. I think this came from how, in Mass Effect, there are moments in-game and during cutscenes where characters communicate in this manner.
I'll see what the thread master wants to be done, just in case I make another mistake. As the users who know me past few years, I have a tendency to screw-up and then screw-up even more, so I'll take this slow.
