Whatever idiot it was that just stole a fucking shuttle from the bay should be aware that I'm pretty sure you've just officially defined justifiable homicide and I wouldn't want to be you when Carolyn sees this.

Must have been someone new. No one who's been here longer than a month would risk Carolyn's wrath like that.

I thought it'd sound a bit rich if I said new arrival, but I can't imagine you're wrong.

I feel bad for them, honestly. They're probably going to be airlocked before the next jump. Goodbye, shuttle thief, we hardly knew ye.

Their funeral. There's nowhere out there for anyone to go. Shuttle runs out of fuel and they wait in space for the air to runs out--it's worse than anything Carolyn could do to them, but only just.

( ilde switches; the slightly severe-looking young woman in braids and a jumpsuit is not quite the same as the dippy thing who spent two months floating around the ship in her pajamas. )

The cold vacuum of space or of Carolyn Fry's mercy. I think it would be unprofessional of me to run a book on that, but I'm sure someone else will.

Not sure which one I'd prefer myself, so I'd rather plumb for caution and avoid pissing off either.

What gets me the most is this could probably have been avoided if we'd just had more people pulling their weight. Whoever it was sure chose the perfect moment; couldn't have planned it better myself.

Inevitably. Do you think we get to watch?

I vote we sell tickets.

[kutte]

Well, shit. Bets on how long till Carolyn strings them up by their toes.

[trouvaille]

See. I knew someone would do it.

[kutte]

I know a profitable opportunity when I see one. You ask nice, I'll cut you in for part of the pot

They might already be out of range if they've commandeered a shuttle. Someone clearly has a death wish, and they have numerous avenues at their disposal, clearly.

[trouvaille]

It'd have been a lot less hassle for the rest of us if they'd just found an airlock and had done with it.

no obvious evidence.
bad idea, good thief.

WHAT?!

[trouvaille]

We don't know who or how, but someone came in here and just-- took a shuttle.

[suddenlycaptain]

I'm going to kill them.

[ From the sound of things, she doesn't particularly care who gets in her way, either. ]

I'm on my way. Make sure no one else is hiding down there.

private.

[darkart]

Can you ask your superior something?

private.

[trouvaille]

( huh. )

Sure. What?

private.

[darkart]

I don't know how to phrase it.

[ Fuck his actual life. After a moment he forwards this exchange, hoping Ilde can parse what he's trying to understand and translate it succinctly. ]

It sounds like it would be legally deemed suicide here.
