[Initially, a video comes on which shows a few sheets of paper taped to a wall, with a stack of more paper and a few pens on a table below. The paper on the table is blank, but the papers on the wall, it soon becomes clear, are wanted posters. Currently, the makeshift bounty board contains the following three posters on it:

1 | 2 | 3

A note is taped under the third which reads "Contact Cid Harrington for details".

At this point, the video cuts out and the following text appears:]

Introducing: the Tranquility bounty board. Got a job you don't want to do? Rather pay someone else to do it? Visit the 7th floor common room, write or draw a description of the job and reward, and leave some contact info so the bounty can be collected. All jobs accepted.

(OOC: Yes, that's right, Mordecai and Lilith were bored and drunk and decided to have some fun, and thought that the community noticeboard was just a bit too, well, community-oriented. A post for the board will be permanently housed here; feel free to submit your character's postings there, should they desire to contribute to the board!)

Only because he doesn't have his corporation and army of robots here.

That's your claim; certainly. However, by acting the way you do, you've completely undermined any faith I have in your words or deeds.

For example, note that you have claimed that your rage and hatred towards him, your attempt to kill him, is proof of his crimes. Yet now, with that poster, you're making an attempt against my life. Do you think I am a monstrous killer?

You really have a hard time taking a joke.

Oh - it's funny! Oh, that was the piece of information I was missing. Ha ha ha! Quite right; now I'm cheerily accepting someone calling for my death. Good God; I would we could be friends, but I fear I'm not worthy of someone as witty as you.

You're asking people to kill me. How is murder amusing?

Fine, I'll bite. What do you find funny?

[Puns]

Kindly do not "bite"; I was not "fishing" to talk about myself. I was stating that asking to have someone killed is categorically unfunny to someone who is not a sociopath.

Sorry our hands can't all be as clean as yours.

They can be as clean. You have made the choice to kill, and you have made the choice to continue killing here, where no one is trying to do you harm. You act the martyr, but you and you alone are at the root of the violence you have attempted to do and the violence you have done.

And in regards to me? I am an officer of security. The only thing I do is try to keep the people here safe, and yet you have made the choice to ask others to kill me. The fact that you have tried to do so in a way that you find humorous doesn't negate the fact that you have still called for my murder.

How can you possibly pretend to be the victim here? "Our hands can't be as clean as yours"? No; your hands will never be clean, because you choose to do harm and then weep about how it's your painful life that made you do it. You made you do it. You chose.

You really like talking. Listen, "officer", I don't care what you do or say, but we have a score to settle. This is the only time we've broken your arbitrary rules. Save yourself some trouble and stay out of it and then we can go back to being good little citizens on the ship.

Do you even read what you've written, or is this idiocy the product of random words strung together with no logic or sense? Please, dear God, let it be the latter.

We're done here, kid.

Only because you're too stupid to comprehend logic.

More like you refuse to listen to any.

Okay. Explain to me the logic of "security should make an exception for me, the Unique Snowflake, and let me kill someone, for no particular reason."

Who gives security their authority?

We claim it by means of our superior strength.

And if enough people rose up against you would you just step down or fight?

I'm sorry - did you actually just accept that answer without questioning it?

Edited 2013-02-17 01:18 (UTC)

[She switching over just so you can hear her laugh.]

Not even close.

Overcompensation duly noted.

We'll see how long Security lasts.

It was here before you were, and it will be here after you've gotten yourself killed. Your file will outlast you, Lilith.

I didn't know you cared enough to keep a file on me.

Of course we have a file on you. I know that will feed your fragile little ego, so you're welcome. Indeed, we have a file on you and we even track you by your nanites - imagine that.

I thought you had important things to do.
