Did the shuttle that went missing, er, did it ever, well...come back?

Er.

That is.

We might have seen the shuttle that went missing? Maybe? Back on the little colony. And I was just...wondering! if it had been found and brought back to the ship? Possibly?

Yes?

All right, thank you!

Just so you know? You sound suspicious as hell right now.

voice

[invisibilitea]

How is that suspicious? Are you saying I sound like I'm a thief?

voice

[sweetmotherofgod]

Well now you kinda do. Why was thief the first thing you thought I meant?

voice

[invisibilitea]

Because they accused someone of stealing it, that's why!

And I didn't, for your information, I don't even know how these things work, even if I were a thief, which I'm not.

I gotta say, I assumed someone who stole a shuttle wouldn't be dumb enough to come back here and start publicly asking whether it had been brought back. I just wanna know what about thinking you saw it is making you so damn antsy to find out if it came back. And, you know, why you thought asking that in a way that makes you sound like you killed someone and hid the body on it was a good idea.

She was asking to be nice.

gruding text!!!

[sweetmotherofgod]

And I was letting her know she was making herself sound shady.

You know. To be nice.

[A moment of thanks to the anonymous defender for speaking up (but only because he doesn't know that it's Aidan), but like hell he's not going to add something on himself--]

If we were playing Cluedo, I'd turn this around on you and ask you why you were jumping conclusions like that. Going from innocent questions to having t' put up with accusations in ten seconds, not very nice.

She was just asking. Leave her alone.

[She's laughing, and this is one of the reasons it might have been better to show her face - she's actually entertained and a little bewildered, not trying to be dismissive or mocking.]

I would so not play a game with you guys, you're freakily intense. Someone would flip the board, and there'd be a embarrassing trip to the emergency room to get pieces extracted.

voice

[invisibilitea]

Because we saw it, that's why-

You know what, I'm not answering anymore of your questions.

voice

[sweetmotherofgod]

Okay.

[She doesn't sound that bothered, but it's not supposed to be mocking.]

Just try to bear it in mind. The flight guys can be suuuper protective of their stuff. Specifics'll help. And less of the... verbal handflapping, that's what makes it sound hinky. Good luck.

Think a lot of the shuttles came back.

[Also...]

'We'?

voice;

[invisibilitea]

Hullo-

Yes, we, me and a person who didn't ditch me on the middle of a place I've never been before, we.

voice;

[humanistic]

[wow low blow]

Excuse me, I didn't ditch you. We got separated. [sort... of.... but before they can get into that--] But there were a lot of shuttles there. Why d'you think you saw the missing one?

voice;

[invisibilitea]

It looked like one of ours, didn't it? And when we asked around, people said they saw, well.

Rather unsavory people getting out.

voice;

[humanistic]

[He really, really wants to ask more about this 'we', in detail, but one thing at a time, right? Or that's what he tells himself, at least--]

More than one person? Like how many, exactly?

voice;

[invisibilitea]

Two?

voice;

[humanistic]

Two's not so bad.

[But he's not particularly convinced by his own claim. Two can be more than enough.]

Guess everyone was probably in too much of a hurry to ask if the two of them got back on the shuttle.

[suddenlycaptain]

It's back. No sign of whoever took it, though.

[invisibilitea]

Oh, well....we saw some people?

Well, no. We asked people who saw people. Coming out of it.

[suddenlycaptain]

[ Suddenly much, much more alert. ]

Did you get descriptions?

anon text;

[civilwarring]

One was a guy in black. Dark hair, big gun.

[suddenlycaptain]

[ That is a terrible description, for one thing, and for another- ]

And you're anonymous because...?

[civilwarring]

[Sorry he's just parroting the terrible description he was given.]

Because. I don't mind being associated with the information, I just prefer to keep my personal life private. Sorry.

[suddenlycaptain]

You're naked with everyone once a month, not to mention the enclosed quarters. Being anonymous just makes it seem as though I can't trust your description.
