ａｕｄｉｏ

[ it's been more than a month since she landed herself on this ship, and she's gotten nowhere. she's beginning to understand how her arrival had been greeted with such pessimism and futility, and she can't help but imagine that the insomnia's a result of the near-death experience trying to make it back aboard the tranquility off of the cyllene being combined with an acute depression of realizing she's powerless to get her son back. she's been feeling pretty powerless across the board, lately.

her room's dark, because she's been tossing and turning in vain to try and get to sleep without success, so she doesn't bother turning on the video function. audio will have to do the trick. there's a sense of abject defeat in her voice, because she finally gets it - talking to sark aboard the cyllene, and then scrambling to get off of it. no one is going to rescue the tranquility and get them home, and any attempt at progress seems to be met with a glass ceiling.

they're stuck, and they're on their own. she's on her own. she hadn't realized how heavily she'd learned to rely on her family until she'd been denied their company. ]

If I want to help out with security on board the ship, how's that work? [ it's been a month, it's high time she accepted that she needs something to keep her busy and direct her energy towards or this funk isn't going anywhere. some savior. ] Is there like a training program or do I just track down some security office and sign my name on the dotted line?

[ there's the sound of shifting as she sits up in bed, because something else occurred to her. she'd never really seen a report published to the ship-wide network. just a video that didn't shed much light - her cynicism wants her to assume that's because there wasn't much to be found, but it's worth asking. ]

And while I'm at it; I saw some bad news about the new areas of the Tranquility, but I was on the Cyllene while people were exploring. Any more news to go with it? Are those areas still accessible, or did they close off when we undocked? [ or whatever the word for that is. ]

[ private to will graham ; no encryption ]

And, Graham - I found some clothes. Little on the dressy side, but they should fit. Where do you want me to bring them?

[ she's just tired enough to use the wrong name - the one that's more familiar, that makes her feel a little more secure, at least subconsciously. ]

Training depends on your skills.
We do an assessment for anyone looking to sign up.

What's the assessment involve?

Shooting, hand to hand, armed combat if you've got any background in it.
It lets me know if there's any areas you need training in + how to deploy you best for your skills.

[It also doubles as an interview process, but she doesn't say that.]

Sounds like I shouldn't need any studying up. How do I wrangle myself an assessment?

[ surely it is a great idea to do an assessment that is fine motor skill-based while running on 0 sleep and bleeding out various orifices. surely. ]

You got background + experience then?
I'm off shift in 4 hours.

[And going back to her room to sleep is just going to be a waste of time.]

Sheriff. Did bail bonds tracking for a while. Does that work for you?

It does.
We just lost a sheriff.

[But she isn't going to directly suggest that maybe Emma is the replacement.]

[It's late, but Gold looks like he's working on something, attention directed off camera]

The halls are still open, as far as I know. Though nothing I experienced there was quite as bad as what I've heard from the exploits on the Cyllene.

[He finally looks at the camera then, but it's hard to tell if his expression seems pleased that she made it back in one piece, or if it's just a carefully contained tiredness.]

Would you like a copy of the map?

[ she sits up, transitioning to video, because she's actually really interested in trying to figure out whatever gold's got his nose in. ]

Depends what the price tag on it is.

[That gets a thin smile, amused. But she figured out of the basics of how he operated a while ago, her response isn't surprising in the least.]

Considering there's quite a few of us carrying one around, I can hardly claim it's a unique object worth haggling over. Besides, there's always the chance your eyes might see something out there that I failed to notice.

[He's always been a fan of Emma's unique talents - and directing them where he thinks they should go. This is just speeding up a process she would've got through with someone else, as far as he's concerned.]

Fine. [ she works her jaw for a moment, scrutinizing him, because she's still suspicious. she's never stopped being suspicious of him, even after the whole ... family thing, and here he doesn't even remember that. she'd been too caught up in her determination to save henry to stop and question his motives heading to neverland, but she's not too caught up now for it to come back. she's just exasperated enough. ] Can you send it to me?

Of course.

[He finally seems to abandon whatever he was dealing with off camera, wiping his hands off on a cloth before reaching for his comms. Sending the map file over isn't as quick as it might be from anyone else - he still isn't fantastic with this technology - but it's done soon enough.]

You'll want to prepare for a long walk. And do be careful, Miss Swan. None of us had any untoward experiences out there, but the darker corridors are known for holding some of the ship's more dangerous elements.

[Not that he'd been worried about them at all, but he isn't about to offer his company. He doubts she'd accept, anyway.]

[ his definition of dangerous elements has also, in the past, included neverland. land of ... fairies and lost little kids. somehow, she's got to wonder how his credibility is doing with dangerous at this point. still, she only holds her look of disbelief for a moment. ]

Dangerous like how?

You'll have to talk to Tyke about security, sistah. As for the rest, I'm not entirely sure, but I wouldn't recommend going back down there.

Why not? [ she's filing the name tyke away for now, but more interested in the new areas of the tranquility. ]

Nothing to see, yeah? And it's a six hour hike both ways, so it's a lot of effort just to see a prison block.

A prison block. I thought this was a passenger ship, why would it have a prison block? Was there anything inside the cells?

A colonizer, yeah? What's better cheap labor than prisoners. [He goes quiet for a moment, because what can be casually brushed aside by logic isn't as convincing when you've seen the journal.] Guard outpost- had an old journal in it, but River's claimed that.

[Yep. A journal. With things that made me disassociate again. SPACE CRAZY IS GR8, EMMA.]

Claimed it? What the hell is that supposed to mean, shouldn't any kind of journal be transcribed and shared? [ look she's just saying. freedom of information. LIVE TOGETHER DIE ALONE, BROTHA. ]
