Tranquility - the last transmission on the network was not a hoax. We have been boarded.

All non-combat personnel should keep to their quarters at the present moment. Further instructions will follow.

Note please that the boarders are able to hack all transmissions, including those which are highly encrypted. Do not discuss tactical information over the network. Do not discuss extraneous things. We do not know what will be of use to these brigands, and we need to deny them as much information as possible. Keep silent; keep vigilant; updates to come.

I'm not letting someone go in when she's just going to get herself killed.

I have no intention of letting myself be killed.

But if we do not act, they will plunder the ship.

Stay inside for now, Lady. Your efforts alone would be formidable, but your efforts in cooperation would be far more effective.

[ It's Thranduil, so she holds herself in check from bristling at his response—but she's not going to give up so easily. ]

—Cooperation with what? Allowing them to take what they wish, and leave us without what we may need?

Cooperation with your fellow passengers, once we know more.

No, they are not. But our first priority, even before preventing their theft, is to ensure that none of ours are killed. And while I respect your willingness, unless you are possessed of some unanticipated combat training - which is possible; I do not say that jeeringly - then the best thing you can do is stay safe.

That is exactly why I wish to find them. I do not want bloodshed; there are children aboard this vessel, and I would not see them harmed. Who is ensuring their safety?

[Earnestly:] I am. I, and the others with me.
