002; Voice

[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.]]

[ 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.

[sugarbear]

I'm already here.

[ Huff. ]

There's shuttles up here need stripping.

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

[suddenlycaptain]

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

[sugarbear]

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

[ Okay, fair enough. ]

Mmph fine. But you owe me.

audio;

[suddenlycaptain]

I can deal with that.

[sugarbear]

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. ]

[suddenlycaptain]

Some of them have names.

[ No. :| ]

[sugarbear]

[ But they have personalities, Carolyn. ]

Victoria. I promise to keep her filters clean.

[suddenlycaptain]

That's part of your job anyway.

Just get it done.

[sugarbear]

Aye, aye.
