[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.]]

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?

[suddenlycaptain]

[ 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.

[thatsaflaregun]

Aye. Thank you.

[suddenlycaptain]

You don't have to thank me.

I don't exactly have the best reputation since coming back with Jenna, sistah. Taking my word for it without asking too many questions I damn well can't answer? It means a great deal.

If it isn't one, then it isn't. I'd rather know for sure either way before someone blows us all up.

Practicality's a rare trait. [No one on LOST is practical. Ever. Except maybe Ben. And everyone hates him.]

[suddenlycaptain]

Believe me, I've noticed.

[leaps]

Do we have someone who could disable it?

[ case and point. ]

[suddenlycaptain]

Depends on how it's set up.

You want to take a look?
