[ When she flicks the device on, she's pulling away, like she very obviously set it onto something so she could look slightly down at it. When she pulls away, the camera gives a sight of a woman who looks like she's in her mid-thirties. She's dressed in, well, something close to a black catsuit, and she folds her arms over her chest while she looks at the item. If anything, she looks a touch annoyed, but that's the last of the emotion on her face, and when she speaks, her voice is painfully level. The most important thing to note is that at her hip, there's a flash of metal that could just be a rather sophisticated, cylyndrical weapon. ]

I've done my research, so I don't need the basics. I'm looking for details, or specs, if you have them. I've figured out that whoever took me has to be an idiot for giving me an opportunity to talk over these things, and leave me with my weapons.

[ A quirk of an eyebrow. ]

It's messy.

So, has anyone met them? Has anyone said why, or are they just idiots? If not, then I guess there's at least some mystery to whatever it is I've stepped into this time. I don't suppose it's too much to ask about who's on here, is it? Getting a scope of the field will help out more than anything else.

Huh.

[ Said like she's musing that one over. Considering and weighing it, before she finally speaks up about it. ]

Flat out disappearing, or just seeming to? Anyone ever tried to capture him, or has nobody really known what to do if he's not at the helm?

--you didn't read that sarcastic guide, did you? No one's ever at the helm.

I skimmed it.

A captain who doesn't do anything shouldn't be called captain, however. There has to be something he does to deserve the title.

It's what he introduced himself as, although there's some debate around how true it is.

[ There's a tight smile in her voice. ]

From the perspective of a captain, I'd say not at all.

I'd have to agree with you there, but first impressions tend to carry.

[ neal's team smiley is captain lbr ]

Mm, I'm sure they do. They'll stick with you, even if they're undeserving of whatever you get off the first glance.

When we all first arrived, they said they were the captain and chief engineer. I'd say both were... considerable exaggerations.

Of course they were. It sounds like something someone would do to make themselves feel better about whatever it is they're doing.

I don't know, that part of the story I believe.

Oh really?

Which part don't you believe, then?

Well— not to put too fine a point on it but just about the whole cover other than they're not pulling the strings.

Mmm, I see.

Logical, of course. Why would you willingly surround yourself with people that are predisposed to hating you, unless they can't help it --

Or they're insane.

Too dour for the second one.

[ ward has bitchface forever, it's a thing. ]

Heh. You never know with them, they could be hiding it well.

Or maybe a different kind of dangerous individual.

Considering Ward has a habit of killing the people he has problems with, it's not a maybe.

You really should read that guide. [ he's js ]

I'll read it over a little more when I get a few moments. [ A bit sharply.

Okay, so that sleep deprivation is heavy shit. ]

I like on the ground information than something packaged up all neat and ordered for consumption. Information is lost.

You get used to that, here— if you find out anything concrete and not in pieces, it's a miracle.

[ She sounds almost a little amused by it. Somewhat. ]

Sometimes, that's the only way you get intel. It's like working with no resources.

I think I can work with that.

Good luck, then.
