[ Perhaps it a bit too late for this sort of conversation, but Erik necessitates its need anyway; the Tranquility has nearly always been a bastion for acceptance and tolerance, and the idea was constantly perpetuated throughout his previous stay here, something that deeply unsettled him. He's in a deserted room, particularly one that Alex Summers might be familiar with from their training sessions long ago, but his reason for being there is more along the need for silence. ]

For those of you who remember my face, I can assure you, you're not mistaken. [ He pauses for a moment, because while it needs to be said, it still angers him that he's back here. ] The ship has brought me back since then. For those of you who don't, [ welllllll. ] I expect we'll be acquaintances soon enough. [ But not really. ] In the meantime, you can call me Magneto. [ Except the fifty billion people that still call him Erik. ]

No doubt all the lectures have made it clear that the ship is not, in any way, safe, and this is hardly any different. I won't speak on false pretenses that unity is what matters, but my issue at hand is this: if you are non-human of any sort, vampires, werewolves, mutants, what have you, I urge you to seek solidarity only among your own kind. It is our strengths that will allow us to survive, our own inherited abilities, and we must use these to secure the ship against its ongoing threats.

We must defend ourselves by striking out towards the enemy and to an equal degree, protect the sections of the ship we have acquired. While the Security team has this under control, the ship's size makes this difficult. [ Considering Erik is on SEC, this is just asking for double protection. ] Your offense is our best defense.

PRIVATE » Alex Summers [ All that he gets is a ping to notice this, because the location should be familiar to him: its where Alex and he had trained a while ago and there are some things better discussed in person than over these. ]

Nor do I remember yours.

[ A certain someone was a sack of potatoes last Erik recalled and had to be rescued. ]

Mine still keep me alive, suffice to say.

[That really isn't something Riddick likes to be reminded of, a vulnerability that he couldn't do anything to fight off, but he isn't going to let Magneto know that by reacting to it. Ignores it, instead.]

'Til they don't, again. [Though technically possessed was still alive.] I'm not the one calling for solidarity on them.

Truth be told, you're not calling for much of anything, I hear.

[ It's obvious Erik is baiting, rather than actually answering, since there's an unspoken animosity between the pair. ]

Sounds like you're finally getting it.

What's there to get? Your selfish motivations?

That you don't come to me looking for a hero.

Took us long enough to get on the same page.
