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.]

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

[elvenking]

In what other ways? I believe this is his first appearance since I have been here.

[faderbroderson]

There was an illness aboard, caused by the stasis we all enter into at the jump. It came close to killing many, but Smiley gave us a map that lead us to a cure. I have also heard he helped people escape Strela, the space port.

[The sickness Legolas spoke of. The sickness Legolas had.

Quietly:]

Then I already owe him much, if it is indeed a he. No less if it is a she.

[faderbroderson]

Many of us do.

[Godric makes the connection, and says nothing of it. It doesn't need saying.]

[elvenking]

...I have a curiosity, Godric. I would speak with you privately.

[faderbroderson]

Of course. Where?
