[audio] he will be missed (dated just after the jump)

[astrogate]

[The transmission continues from Hotspur’s communication device, silence still spilling onto the network until some short time after the jump. There’s several muffled bangs – the sound of another door control panel being loosened and dropped – and then the long groaning sound of metal being forced, followed by a low gasp in surprise from Kara. ]

Frakken Hell. [coolly:] Is it?

[Footsteps. A soft, wet noise and then the clink of metal – dogtags being lifted free.]

It’s him.

[A long pause, followed by a few mumbled words exchanged between the two. ]

Turn his frakken device off.

[There’s the static shuffle of the device being lifted and moved, and then Hotspur’s final tranmission is shut off.]


(audio transmission)


[ The gap between hotspurs discontented transmission and Kara's audio flickering to life isn't long, but it's enough for the pair to discuss a few things (mainly the post hotspur sent out prior to his last). And when Kara does finally speak, it's short and to the point. ] Lieutenant Southey – Hotspur – didn't survive the jump.

Some assistance would be appreciated soon.

[ and with that, she ends the transmission, not wanting to give away too much of her emotions. ]

ooc: Colors: Riddick and Kara.
Feel free to make this a catch all post for chatting about what happened,
as well as whatever else. POOR HOTSPUR :(

[Asato is nearby, but they're far enough apart to listen separately, on their own devices. Konoe didn't know Hotspur either, nor Kara or Riddick. But for some time he's still left in silence for the dead, and for himself to think.

Asato is first to make a sound, and Konoe's close enough to hear his reply. An ear turns sharply at it, and his hold on his own device falls as he turns to look at him again in disbelief.

For a moment, he's afraid of where it came from.]

Asato, don't.

Konoe?

[His ears flick up and then droop down when eh turns and sees that look Konoe is giving him. He knows right away that he said something that wasn't right, but he can't figure out what.

He's still there, still as much "Asato" as he's ever been. But Kiran justice is rough and unforgiving, and he knows little else.]

What's wrong?
