[When Desmond's voice comes over the line, he sounds.... Crazy, so it's basically a Tuesday, except maybe you ought to listen to him this time, because this sounds extremely important.]

All right, look- [Muffled, as if said to someone behind him.] Get off, I'm fine! [Back to the comm] I don't know if anyone's even considered trying to pilot the Scylla, because believe me, it sounds like a lovely idea. But don't. There's a-a dead man's switch embedded in the flight controls. If anyone touches it- [He pauses to chuckle under his breath- it sounds crazy, but also painfully exasperated] - boom.

[He hesitates for a moment, as if already anticipating the protests.]

Don't believe me- send someone from flight crew to check it out. I know what I saw- [He hisses- goddammit, he needs to keep that shit under wraps better] I just know.

[[OOC: POSTED WITH MOD PERMISSION. Basically, as of this log, Desmond will have had one of his flashes (which are now back thanks to his adventures in the ship- thanks for that, TQ). I need a couple volunteers to tag in and be witnesses to the discovery of the dead man's switch and Desmond's subsequent freak out, but yeah, as of this post, anyone who was on the Scylla probably would have heard Desmond being Final Destination about not touching the switch.]]

Shit.

[ She needs to go take a look but she can't, not while she's in medical -- not that she isn't trying to get up out of bed and go look anyway. ]

Are you still there?

No. Kirk and Jenna's fiance saw to that. I was, ah, making a scene.

They'd better fucking keep an eye on it until someone can get there, then.

Unless someone wants to take every bloody one of us down with them, no one will go near it, anyway. Maybe I'm optimistic, sistah, but I don't think we have anyone that desperate.

We have plenty of people stupid enough to think they could disable it.

[He goes silent.]

Right. We can only hope no one does, yeah?

[ Welp they're all going to die. ]

Or make sure no one does.

Good luck. 'Cause if it goes off-

[He trails off. Yeah...]

I've got someone on it.

Do we have someone who could disable it?

[ case and point. ]

Depends on how it's set up.

You want to take a look?

[ Grumbling. ]

And there was me hoping we could fly it in through the shuttle bay doors and then rip it apart.

[ There's no sigh of relief, but it's a close thing. ]

I need you to go down there. Make sure no one triggers the switch.

I'm already here.

[ Huff. ]

There's shuttles up here need stripping.

[ But Carolyn, why do I have to guard the stupid ship? ]

You can do that after you make sure we all know we're not going to explode.

It'd be suicide. You'd have to be crazy.

[ Okay, fair enough. ]

Mmph fine. But you owe me.

I can deal with that.

You better. I'm thinking you'd be more open to giving the shuttles names if you owed me.

[ --and painting naked women and eagles and things on them. ]

Some of them have names.

[ No. :| ]

We're not exactly lacking in less than ideal situations, yeah?

You can say that again.

[ Only don't. Don't actually say it. ]

How'd you figure it, anyway?

[Paaaaaause]

Saw something like it once.

[And it made him... completely lose his shit there for a second. Yep. It's easy to lie when you're slightly more rational. Slightly...]

Huh.

[ He'll pretend he'll believe that if it makes life easier. ]

[HEY LOOK... He totally did.]

We ought to be lucky the captain of that vessel didn't think to hook that switch up to himself, yeah? If he had, the minute he died, we would've all been blown to hell. And that much, brotha? I've been personal witness to.

[ What a curious thing to say. It makes Casey sit up and pay attention. ]

You've served?
