( 004 ) voice.
[ Oxford's voice is a lot quieter than it ever has been before, and a great deal heavier. His anger - and his sadness - is very quiet, audible in the hardness of some of his emphasised words. ]
Good god, isn't anyone else quite finished with this damned ship? There are circles of hell reserved for this- this absolutely unfathomable level of bullshit.
I sincerely hope that everyone recognises and acknowledges that the Tranquility has lost a great and incredibly good man today. [ Even quieter: ] Let us pray that we will not have to suffer such a loss again, and that at the very least we may learn something from it.
[ After a pause, a respectful moment of silence, he goes on. This is very much intended to be public, because he wants everyone to hear this, not just his intended audience. ]
Captain Ward, Commander Resnik. In the time that I have spent here, I have firmly believed that you had more right than any of us on board to command and control the goings on of this ship. It is your ship, we are accidental strangers. [ His voice is low and a little strained. ] Hotspur believed that too.
You owe us all explanations, even though I don't believe for a moment that you will give them. I will not believe for a moment that Hotspur's death was coincidental, what with him requesting to speak to you such a short time before it occurred. I was not the only one to see and take note of it - and I'm sure you know that he contacted myself and others just before the jump. He told us not to engage with you.
Even if you're going to play stupid now, I am feeling very incredibly inclined to take his advice, even if I don't yet understand or know why. You ought to stop relying so heavily on whatever it is you seem to think protects you both from the rest of us, whatever makes you think that you can keep us in the dark forever.

We need to talk, and by "we" I do mean all of us, including the two delinquents.
[ END ENCRYPTION. ]

[ Oxford has never tried so damn hard to properly encrypt something in his life, even though he's quite aware that it's hopeless. He knows this is utterly stupid, everything that he has stood against, but he is just so angry, so upset, that he can't think to act reasonably right now. He has lost a man that he would have gladly trusted with his life, even if they were not ever the closest of friends. He still meant something to Oxford. ]
If Ward or Resnik did not have a hand in Hotspur's death then I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that it was you, whoever or whatever you are. Hotspur was a good, sensible man, there is no chance that he could have done this of his own fault.
I have a feeling that through your numerous observations of the ship and the network to know the circles that all the passengers of this ship move in, my own included. Futile as this may sound to you, I promise that if any of the people I care for are bothered, hurt or god forbid, subjected to a horrific, painful death, I will give you hell like you have never seen before. I don't know how, but I will. Laugh at me all you want, because I'm certain that you are.
I'm finished with caring what you might think of us.
[ END ENCRYPTION. ]
( ooc: UH for the record replies probably will not happen until around Monday because I am on hiatus and won't be around this weekend :[ sorry for that folks. ]

They're involved?

If they can prove that my suspicions are nothing more than that, then I'd naturally be happy to hear it.
