video ][ notes on the wall

[faderbroderson]

[Godric has been scarce during the invasion by the Scylla's crew, and for good reason. But he's been paying attention. He's in the emergency shuttle bay when he turns on the video, and evidence of the pirates is immediately apparent. There are supplies and equipment, some of it packed away, some of it scattered on the floor in disarray. But more concerning are the devices attached to the walls, the floor, and even the door -- clearly explosives of some sort. An escape plan, or a defensive perimeter. It would be more alarming, but for the fact that all the devices look still and quiet, void of frightening red lights or ominous noises.

Perhaps most eye-catching of all is the message written above the two tubes protruding from the outer hull of the Tranquility:

MAKE IT QUICK...

Godric turns the video onto himself, and addresses anyone watching.]

It seems our friend has left us a note.

[Usually, this would be locked to Security. But with Tyke out of commission, it's probably a moot point.]

[ squinting. ] .. Seriously, what is with this dude?

[faderbroderson]

He's helpful, wouldn't you say?

[Well, to an extent, and in a creepy sort of way]

[majestyofthethrone]

Make what quick?

[faderbroderson]

Our investigation of the Scylla, I would assume. This is where she docked.

[Jim studies that for a moment, considers the whole situation, and then narrows his eyes. make it quick? why would they have ot make it quick if, feasibly, they had all the time in the world on this ship?]

Are we sure that's for us?

[faderbroderson]

Are we sure of anything in this place?

[recalibration]

[ ok maybe barton should be a little creeped out, especially with the message and all the pirate slaughter. that doesn't mean his priorities aren't in order. ]

There any goodies down there we need to grab before the jump?

[faderbroderson]

Undoubtedly. We can take our supplies back, and they sadly no longer have a use for any they already had on the Scylla.

[Which is something Godric is not best pleased about, but there are practicalities to consider.]

[Deadpan:] I believe I have come to somewhat like Smiley.

[faderbroderson]

As have I. For all his puzzles can be frustrating, he assists us at every turn.

[voice]

[humanistic]

Oh, that's adorable. And are people actually going t' go in there?

[faderbroderson]

Yes. He's steered us in the right direction before. It seems prudent, in this case, to go on faith.

[firstofficer]

Friend?

[faderbroderson]

Is that not what we're calling him? Our smiling friend?

text;

[tigers]

Our smiling chum can piss off, then. I'll be as quick or as slow as I like and that's just hard swiss cheese for him.

[faderbroderson]

There may be reason for the warning, aside from his own expedience.

[bribed]

Huh. [ This is actually interesting. ]

What's it written with?

video;

[faderbroderson]

Paint, it seems. [he smiles wryly] Not blood.

[He would smell blood.]

video;

[thebreakingwave]

I don't know if this is the place to mention it, but if anyone wants to go in, I'd be willing to help. I'm good at watching backs.

video;

[faderbroderson]

Your assistance would be welcome, and that of anyone else who wishes to go in, I'm sure.

[willpunchfaces]

Yeah, because that's not creepy at all.

[ Mason's just... done. Done with the ship, done with space, done with Smiley and his friends. Done.

Too bad being done doesn't mean shit. ]

Are you ransacking the ship?

[faderbroderson]

It seems prudent to do so, yes.

voice;

[sufferances]

Be quick and get out before that blows, is that what it means?

[leaps]

We should find someone who can disarm that.

[ red text. sulu balls his hands into fists and says nothing at all about it. focus on something he can solve, not on that. ]
