ataraxion | ( 001 ) voice | on board excursions with a slight twist.

[ There's a slight noise like thin metal yeilding somewhat under weight, followed by a tap and a hollow sounding bang and multiple wires sliding against and past each other. This is all topped off with a series of muttered obscenities as Cat struggles to get her communicator up to face level, considering that she is currently somewhat lacking in room. There is a pause in which all that can be heard are a few short, shallow breaths. This has been quite a workout. She sounds frustrated and incredibly reluctant; help isn't something she usually asks for. ]

Right.

Anyone here want to tell me the secret to untangling wires? 'Cause it's a lot harder than it looks, and it looks pretty damn hard from afar anyway.

[ It isn't very much to go on, but this is partially because Cat doesn't really want to tell anyone that she has gone and trapped herself in a rather narrow ventilation shaft, and has become caught up in some random, unexpected sea of wires. She's not idiot, so she's hardly about to just yank the wires out of wherever it is they lead. Not that she thinks it'd do much harm in the long run, considering she's found one relatively small set of wires on an otherwise enormous ship, but she'd rather not risk it.

... she was bored, alright? Crawling through ventilation shafts seemed like a really good idea at the time. ]

[ She relaxes a little upon seeing his response, the irritable and restless snap leaving her voice somewhat, sounding a little more tired ]

Yeah, actually, but I don't know what the hell I'd be cutting here.

Can they not be repaired after you've freed yourself?

[ wires and technology, robb hasn't managed to figure out how any of it works, nor does he particularly care to. ]

[ Cat is no expert herself, and actually considers Robb's suggestion for a moment. ]

... Maybe. Dunno. Don't really want to go about testing that without knowing, though.

Wise, most likely.

[ beat ]

Do you wish for someone to come untangle you?

[ She's annoyed that he figured out her predicament, but she's at a point where simply asking for "advice" won't really do, even if she's still reluctant to accept actual help. ]

Not that simple. [ She's rolling her eyes to herself. ] 'M in an air vent.

[ long, baffled pause. ]

How would I get you out?

That would be the not simple part, 'cause I haven't a bloody clue.

It may take time to untangle you without cutting.

I know.

[ Ugh, this is stupid and ridiculous. ]
