[ This isn't going to be sweet but it will be short, courtesy of your resident Prince Not-So Charming. ]

There are now three flets, which pass as treehouses, in the gardens. These are homes and if anyone is seen nearing them to gain access, they will be shot on sight. I assure you, an arrow is far more difficult to extract than a bullet. [ #EXPERIENCE, urgh. ] Additionally, you will find the Elven quotient aboard the ship is now officially in charge of garden-based security.

That means we need not apologise if your actions force us to maim you.

[ Can you hear someone sharpening a knife? Humming? Sounds a lot like Legolas in the background, right? Someone pissed off the Space Elves. ]

Thranduil is indisposed and has appointed myself in his stead. If you have any concerns which fail to be entirely moronic in nature, you may bring them to me.

There is no division here, only a reminder that we will defend our own. If you are so foolish as to fail to understand that, you've listened to nothing that has been said here.

[ How can he possibly simplify this ... ]

Tell me, are you going to enter the flets-proper? Yes or no. No. Then you've nothing to fear.

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

You announced an independent security for the Garden. Without discussing it with anyone, just off the cuff. It's naive to think that's not an act of aggression.

[disfavour]

There have been two shootings and and attack in very recent months. If you would prefer for all-out warfare with firearms to take precedent in the oxygen gardens, go ahead and guard them yourself.

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

That statement doesn't refute what I said.

[disfavour]

Yes, it does. The gardens are already sites of aggression at times, which is what such attacks will be met with in the event it occurs again — but if you know of others with our level of skill and endurance in greater numbers who might stem such violence, suggest them. The matter was discussed, though not with you, and if it reassures you to know everything that goes on aboard this ship, the second it happens, I invite you to do so. No one is stopping you.

Why you assume you are important enough to warrant hunting down is beyond me. Let me take this chance to offer a thorough reassurance that you are perfectly safe on the ground of the gardens.

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

Oh, that's so reassuring.

[Said in the flat tone of someone who is patently not reassured.]

All I have to do to see that you didn't discuss it with anyone is to see the reactions that people - like the head of security - are replying with, you know.

[disfavour]

It was discussed with my superiors, and then with me. Your rash assumptions are doing you no favours, nor do I own the time to waste in correcting you.

[ And the feed clicks off dismissively. #ROYALTY ]
