[There a click on, and the clear sound that someone is there, but there's a pause, like maybe someone is making sure.]

Is this broadcast going through?

I think I got it-

Hello, Tranquility, my name is Steve Rogers.

I'd like to be directed to whoever is in charge of Security, if that's not too much trouble. And I'd like to know if it's possible to see out into space. Are there any windows on board?

[Annnnd a pause, and a fumble.]

Is it off?

[And then another pause.]

Sorry, excuse me-

[And NOW it's off.]

Where do the shuttles go?

[thebreakingwave]

We don't really have the fuel for joy riding, so they're here for emergencies.

[Which is to say, they don't go anywhere and 'shuttle' is a nicer term than 'lifeboat'.]

What does this ship run on?

[thebreakingwave]

I don't really know. The shuttles charge and recharge, so it's not petroleum or something like it, but you can't exactly pop the hood or peer into the tank. Why?

[priceoffreedom]

I just like to know.

[thebreakingwave]

[Off camera, Harry shrugs and perhaps the tone carries through to his voice.]

Fair enough. The offer of a tour is still open, if you want to come down and look through the windows in person. I'm just doing a bit of maintenance.

[priceoffreedom]

I'll talk to Bucky.

[thebreakingwave]

Er, sure? But I don't know if he works here.

[priceoffreedom]

He doesn't. He might want to see.

[thebreakingwave]

Mmhmm.

[This whole conversation seems a bit surreal, but Harry is willing to go with it.]

You've got my name and that should give you my crew number, if you want to give me a call before you come. If not, there's almost always someone here, although they might not be as enthusiastic about a tour as I am.

[priceoffreedom]

Thank you, I appreciate it.

[thebreakingwave]

It's no trouble.

[There's a pause as he turns the camera away from the window and back towards himself.]

Actually, if you want to do more than look out a window, we could use some help.

[priceoffreedom]

Like...help with the shuttles?

[thebreakingwave]

[Harry nods his head.]

You don't need to do anything technical, but there's always work to get done. It's not thrilling, but it's enough.

[He breaks out into a bright, easy smile before continuing.]

And you do get the best view on the ship.

[priceoffreedom]

I think I'll see what I can get from talking to security.

[thebreakingwave]

If you give me a moment, I can get you the contact number for someone that works there? He's a friend of mine and pretty good at what he does.

[priceoffreedom]

Can you? I'd appreciate it, too.

[thebreakingwave]

SEC » 005 » 078 is the number and Sirius Black is the man you'll end up talking to. Are you so set on it because you do that sort of work back home?

[There's a pause.]

Sorry for being nosy.

[priceoffreedom]

It's all right.

I'm comfortable with protecting people. I wouldn't mind doing it again.

[thebreakingwave]

I can appreciate that. I do something similar back home.

[He knows and trusts (for a given value) how the Aurors work, but he wasn't so sure about Security.]
