[The device opens on a cabin door--glowing, scorched and...intact. There is even some smoke coming from the edges. Alex's voice picks up, sounding tight and frustrated.]

In case you guys haven't figured out, there is no way to get the damn doors open--or destroy them.

Just used enough plasma to level a normal bulkhead--nothing.

[It ended up being a damn waste--but if he took it easy for the rest of the day, he should recharge. Besides there were more important things to worry about.

Turning the device back on himself, Alex's face came into view, a cat draped over his shoulders, tail twitching absently.

Seems someone was taking the pets for a walk when he got locked out.

Pressing his lips together in a thin line, he shook his head.]

I'm going to be out on patrol--like Tyke and Kirk said, get to agriculture. If you don't want to fine, whatever, no one is going to make you.

[Alex sounds more confident, sure of himself since his last broadcast. He has a handle on this stuff--organizing, dealing with a crises, taking a lead--he can do that. It's a version of control, and he's comfortable with that.]

But if anyone starts getting really uncomfortable and cold, I want you to contact me. I can warm the air up in a room quickly and safely.

I'm also planning on going down to the pool later today and warming that up, if anyone is interested.

You know - agriculture would be rather invested in making sure the temperature in the gardens stays optimal.

[ And then: ]

Hello, Bozo.

[redhotsummers]

Yeah, but it's doing all right right now, isn't it?

[He only has so much plamsa to go around. He isn't interested in becoming cold again, either--it's a hollow feeling.

When Eames addresses the cat, Alex rolls his eyes.]

Yeah, got stuck with them outside.

Better than them getting stuck inside with you unable to get in.

And as far as I know, it's fine for now. But if for whatever reason they don't see this posting, the man who runs it - tall guy - is Netherlands. I believe Josias and Jaye are both part of that club, but I can't recall if they just volunteer or have clearance. Or if Miss Jaye just has an unrelated affinity for livestock.

[ because this is clearly super important when you used to work with nuclear fusion, way way more important than being locked out in the cold: ]

Where the fuck did you get plasma?

[redhotsummers]

[Alex smirked, giving a shrug.]

My body.

[Because that sounds normal.]

[deprecate]

[ ... w o w ]

You should probably get that looked at, man. Doesn't sound healthy.

[ Cillian looks at him like he's insane because what. ]

Voice

[justdumbluck]

There's no way? Are you kiddin' me?

[He's pretty frustrated by the whole thing, with himself for being caught off guard and the stupid fancy ship for suddenly not working.]

Voice

[redhotsummers]

Well, unless you can teleport or walk through walls, nope.

Voice

[justdumbluck]

Damn it.

[He sighs irritably.]

So what did you try on it?

[He's never seen anything quite like what was going on with that door.]

[ even with Quinlan's normally impassive demeanour there's no hiding the interest in his expression as he regards the video footage of the scorch marks behind Alex's back. ]

Plasma - a blaster? Or lightsaber?

[ video ]

[redhotsummers]

A lightsaber--?

[Alex frowns for a moment, then shakes his head.]

I mean...technically I can use blasters attached to my suit, but my body produces the plasma.

permavid & text.

[culver]

Are you okay ?
Still in my room
Have not left

[redhotsummers]

You're going to have to leave at some point, Nill.

But stay for now. If you need me, I'll come get you, okay?

text;

[altercate]

Can you break down doors?

text;

[redhotsummers]

Usually.

I can destroy them. But it isn't working now.

voice;

[ringbearer]

[ frodo sounds strained himself. ]

Plasma?

voice;

[redhotsummers]

[Uh--oops?]

It's um...my power.

[onsilksheets]

Be careful not to burn yourself out.

[Okay, so there was a joke in there but she's trying to make light of the situation.]

[redhotsummers]

[That gets a snort.]

Oh man, you're funny.

[A little smile hits his lips. Maybe.]

voice; encrypted 100%

[starked]

Which floor are you on? [ Tony, that's nowhere near the proper question, but hey, knock yourself out. ]

voice; encrypted 100%

[redhotsummers]

Level six.

[Because hey, whatever, it's Tony. Guy usually has a reason for his questions.]

[throwsdown]

Plasma? [He's admittedly drawn to that word—sounds like something the team would use... Really fancy cool fighting stuff that goes over Takeshi's head. Or maybe it's something the super sentai would've used... Hm...] Is it gonna get cold? I feel okay...

[Then again, he's wearing the suit, so it's keeping him at pretty normal temperatures.]

video;

[redhotsummers]

It's cosmic rays converted into powerful energy blasts.

[He shrugs.]

Well, of course you feel okay now. Temperatures haven't dropped much yet.

[stimulations]

Offering yourself as a personal heater, is it? Surely you should be focussing on your security duties.

[His tone and phrasing sounds a little off in comparison to how smooth and well-humoured he usually is, but he's not quite fallen to anything sharp.]

video;

[redhotsummers]

[Alex quirks an eyebrow slightly, but considering the situation, he doesn't figure it isn't something he's done. Probably.]

I'm around to keep people safe and alive. I'm not going to just not offer to help someone if I can, just because I've got patrols to do.

I can do both, just fine.

[Against his better judgement, he asks,]

What's wrong?
