[he knows he can't stop anyone from going, which is fifty percent of the reason he makes this a public broadcast instead of filtered. his transmissions starts with a file transfer. it comes with a photo pulled of the subnetwork, and detailing how to get to the start of the maze, located next to the Oxygen Garden. he'd rather people be informed than go wandering about, after all.]

Alright people, whatever we've caught is lethal. We need people in fit condition [or as close to it] to be assisting in the search. Anyone heading into the maze, do not go alone, do not go unarmed, and be careful.

Enterprise, we leave at 16:00 hours.

[ooc; feel free to use this post as IC coordination for heading into the maze/forming groups if you want! also this is pinging anyone Jim might not have talked to about going into the maze with him, ie: Asato, Godric, Todd, Jane Sheppard, Jack, etc.]

You spoke of a single life lost that should be prevented. [ More clattering, yay. Then a sharp thump. Pauuuuse. ]

Include your own.

I seem to be the only one who cares about that. So I'll just take everyone else's opinion under advisement and act accordingly. Isn't that what I should do, according to you?

I asked for you to trust in the abilities of the warriors and leaders upon this ship, Miles Edgeworth. [ He sounds a little amused. ] That is what you should do, if you do not care to defend yourself.

When I see a leader, I'll be sure to trust in him.

[The words are spat. And it would be a pretty good burn, except that after a moment Miles amends:]

...I half-trust Kirk. But no more than that. Now go away and snivel to someone else.

[ You're lucky this is movie-Aragorn, because book-Aragorn would have railed at you for ten pages for that last comment.

In any case, he just makes a quiet, agreeable sound. ]

I do not wish to see you here, amongst my patients. [ Because no matter his own feelings for Edgeworth, he does not want him to feel the same as he is feeling. ]

Keep safe.

Be sure you do not end up amongst them either, Strider.

[carefully, calmly-- or trying to. he's doing a fairly good job at it, for an elf, after he hearing the stumbling and the crashing in the background.

rangers do not get sick. nor elves. and frodo cannot, must not, if he is to heal.]

You know my strength better than most, elf.

[ It's a reminder, to use that title: that Legolas is an elf, and despite the blue he can seeing tinging his lips the last he saw his friend, Legolas is not allowed to be ill. ]

There is little to worry.

Knowing the strength of my kin and comrades does not mean I worry any less.

[he doesn't need the reminder to know he shouldn't be ill. that he can't. he has had fevers and headaches, often inflicted by poisons and fumes, but never truly ill. this may as well be a poison to him. had he not known better, he would believe it was.]

[ There's little that worries him more than to see blue on Legolas's lips. If this disease affects even an immortal with a strength far greater than that of Men, then what effects will it be on those of the race of Men? Of his patients, who now lay on the beds here, awaiting treatment? ]

What wish you to do with that worry, thus?

[he starts, but then halts when he remembers this is public, and he has yet to learn to private or lock feeds. he keeps his tone calm, but not conversational, for he cannot pretend this to be a mere chat.]

I would use it as strength to do what I must, so that another's worry might be only that and no more.

[it is how it has always been, in mirkwood. one cannot keep a grown elf warrior from their duty when need is dire, nor a prince, or a king, or a ranger from theirs, though many may try. in health or in sickness.]

[ Aragorn does not speak for a long time. His breath hitches so very slightly, and he swallows- it takes him some time before he finds his voice again. ]

Then so be so. [ Quietly. ] I would expect little else from you, my friend.

[ He knows Legolas will go, if not for his sake then for Frodo's- yet Aragorn cannot help but feel as if he is not doing nearly enough, for though he has given much of his strength, he should be able to give much more. ]

Nor I you, friend. [just as softly, though still enough to be caught by the device.] You would do the same, had we each other's roles.

[it is never for ourselves.]

Keep safe, my friend.
