For those who noticed the incident that triggered the watering system in the garden a few hours ago, I'd like to assure you that it wasn't a ship error or an act of random vandalism, and it wasn't anything to be concerned about. It was an accident and it won't happen again.

[a pause. okay, anakin, your turn to speak. explain the accident]

There was a slight…malfunction while we were testing the repairbikes.

[okay, so perhaps it's more like "they were being idiots and pushed the bikes too hard and managed to hit a tree" but shh.

also, guess who isn't impressed about having to make this post in the first place? damn future masters.]

The rain managed to put out the fire before it spread, but- Look, it wasn't our fault. We fixed them perfectly, but then the controls froze up and it either this or let them fly about and possibly kill someone. At least this way it's just a few trees that got hit.

[because that means they made the right choice, doesn't it? he just glances back across at obi-wan now, leaving him to finish this up. there's a reason the other jedi usually takes the lead in discussions instead of him.]

Either way, we accept full responsibility for our actions, and apologize if we startled or frightened anyone.


[ooc: Blue is Obi-Wan, this refers to this!]

[congratulations, obi-wan. you now have a stroppy padawan to deal with, thanks to your insistence on making this post in the first place. they could've gotten away without telling anyone, you know.]

[Someone would have found out, which is why he looks so peaceably accepting of their eventual fate.

Stop being so cranky.]

I've never had quite that much resentment aimed my way before, congratulations, Anakin.

[A dripping elf-king appears on the screen, holding a shivering and equally soaked fawn in his lap. His expression is...dour.]

Your honesty is appreciated. Your care will be--

[The fawn chooses this moment to shake all over. Water flies everywhere, including into Thranduil's face. His eyes and mouth seal shut tightly at this until the fawn is satisfied with its state of dampness and curls up in his lap. Without wiping his face, Thranduil opens his eyes, relaxes his face, and continues.]

--will be equally appreciated in the future.

[Actually Obi-Wan is pretty sure he's seen his master make the exact same face at some point so he's not laughing, but-

Good job, little fawn.]

We'll take care to not have a repeat of this incident.

[A somewhat damp, fairly irritable looking woman appears on camera. She'd been in the Oxygen Gardens during the incident and had only just gotten cleaned up enough to be presentable. Boy is she not happy with you two, and quite frankly she's surprised at you Obi-Wan. You seem so responsible!]

Apprentice Kenobi...and...whoever you are. What in the stars name were you thinking?

[darkforce]

Anakin Skywalker. And we were testing the bikes. That's all.

[so there. too bad he has no idea just who she is right now.]

Apprentice Skywalker, Master Sunrider.

[Formality may be necessary here]

It was a malfunction in the testing.

You're not supposed to play favorites, the other trees might get upset.

[haha look he can be funny too.

Maybe.]

...which one? [because there...may have been a couple involved.]

[Give him a moment to stare so hard at you two, because this is like dealing with Zayne and well...Okay there are just some things he's thankful for concerning his former apprentice being a Sith. Not having to deal with his messes is one of them.

But he's really not impressed by the fact that even other people have his way of things, damn it boys, he doesn't even know you.]

Slight malfunction? I'm impressed such a slight thing slipped by your perfect repairs.

[darkforce]

There was nothing wrong with our repairs.

[it was just a freak accident beyond all their control. definitely. it had absolutely nothing to do with trying to push the bikes further than they were built for. obviously.]

I could build one of those in my sleep.

We're fine.

[theshabbiestofmen]

How much exactly did you burn down?

[darkforce]

We didn't burn a thing. The bikes managed to damage a few of the trees though. But they're all still standing.

[Ianto is drying off - finally - but his suit has seen better days, his hair is a mess, and Myfanwy is behind him, fidgeting and squawking and nipping lightly at Ianto's ears. It's difficult to tell whether she's fussing over Ianto or begging for his attention. Ianto looks unimpressed.]

Did you know that pteranodons don't like fire? I didn't. Now I do.

Should we consider that an object lesson, then?

Hellhounds smell bad when wet.

It will dry off, I understand.

How did the controls freeze up? [ beat. ]

I'm letting Ned do whatever he wants to the two of you, by the way.

No, we may have overextended their capabilities, however.

Yes, I understand that.

Repairbikes?

They belong to the ship.

Testing their capabilities.

And you really thought a garden full of what's basically firewood would be the best place to test them?

Crashing wasn't in our list of desired outcomes.

I don't suppose we could wrangle a promise no more of whatever caused that in here again?

I think that promise is manageable.

[What does it say about his life now that the second thing he does - after screeching his (not a space) bike into the middle of the first level to ensure that nothing exploded anywhere near the filtration systems - is to check the network?

Whatever.

Nothing shows up and he's still stalking about, soaked, pissy, and trying to find the source of the problem when the post goes up.]

Where.

[Good job way to use your words, Nederland.]

If you had fixed them perfectly, there wouldn't have been any freezing up of the controls.
