[Summer is, as always, beside Bran, when the video begins. The great direwolf--nearly as tall as Bran, even when both are seated--favors the video feed with a calm and even stare, as if he knows that he is being recorded.

Bran, meanwhile, chooses to smile.]

I am Bran Stark, and this is my direwolf, Summer. His sister and his brother both tread these halls as well. They are not tame, and they are not pets--but they will not harm those of the ship, not without good cause. We have many that are new to the Tranquility, who do not know our wolves so well. Should you have complaint against them, call upon those of House Stark, and we will answer for them.

[Official business done, Bran takes up his device, so he can turn the video to his robotic legs. They look a little like metal braces with heavy straps, encasing his crippled legs.]

But this is what I truly wanted to ask about. These are robotic legs. They were made for me by a friend, who was clever and good and true. He knew much of robotics, but he is no longer here.

I would ask those of this ship if there are any aboard that have knowledge of robotics, that could craft legs like these. And, if there is someone with this knowledge--I would ask to speak with them, to commission work much like this. Though it would be a gift, I would find some trade to make for the work that would be done.

[When Bran turns the video back to himself, Summer has climbed onto the bed behind him. The direwolf takes up nearly the entire bed, but is settling down, curled behind Bran like the curve of a chair. Bran smiles again, this time more quietly, pleased, and he rests his free hand atop Summer's head, like an armrest.]

I have been having strange dreams of late. Not the strangest I have ever had--but strange. I wonder if we dream when we are in the pods, when the Jump happens. I know that there are those that have had dreams... but surely everyone must dream, and only a few remember. I wonder what those dreams are.

[After he makes his message, Bran uses what skill he has learned to secretly send the second part. He still remembers what he was taught by Aberdeen, though by now those lessons were years ago.

And he includes Gendry, for Gendry has a right to know of this, too. Arya would probably tell him anyways, but it is good for him to know first on his own.]

Daenerys Targaryen has returned to the ship. She was here before, but she does not remember. [After a second of thought, he adds:] Summer was not afraid of her.

[Whether this is a vote of confidence or not, who knows!!!]

[basically, damian is going to wind up on every post with a dog in it, this can be assumed]

What sort of work do you need?

[WOLVES AREN'T DOGS DAMIAN]

It would be building work. There is someone that is in need of a single robotic leg, and I seek someone with the skill to make one.

[wolfchild]

A lot of people have returned to the ship.

[ only one that she actually wanted, but not exactly as she wanted so the ship can go fuck itself tbqh. ]

I'll ask Peter if he can. [ changing topics like a boss. ] What's wrong with the ones you have?

locked.

[wolfdreamer]

I know.

[And many have departed, too, but Bran keeps silent on that. They have lost much as of late, but he is grateful still to have Arya and Robb.]

Tell me if he can. And there isn't anything wrong with mine. They are a little slow, but they are still working. My friend knows someone that needs a robotic leg. The ship took her true leg. But she must not know that he is asking for her.

whos the leg 4?

[Ellie pls this is none of your business.]

locked;

[wolfdreamer]

[not your business but since you're a friend you get some inside info ok]

It is a secret. But it is for a friend, who would give it to his friend.

[Death already knows of direwolves and is no robotics expert. But that last part... that she knows.]

What sort of dreams?

Video

[wolfdreamer]

Sometimes I dream of the ship. But sometimes, I dream of home, at the end of a very long road, or at the bottom of a very large hole. I should have forgotten it by now, but I still remember.

And there are other things, too. But not as many things of the ship as I would think there would be.

[So after viewing the post, freaking out only a little, considering, and deciding that - since he can't encrypt worth a shit - it'd be better to go to Bran's room- only to find that Bran apparently isn't in his own room (the hell??)...

Netherlands opts for an in-between. Goes back to his own room and only then does he reply with something private but unencrypted. But since he knows there's no encryption he doesn't speak about what he wishes to - ]

Had a couple dreams, before. [A long few beats before he thinks to elaborate, forgetting that he usually dreams differently than the rest of the ship does.] While I was in the pods.

[Bran smiles when he sees Netherlands--a quick, immediate smile. He is pleased to see his friend, and pleased that Ned will see anyone that answers the question of the robotics. Surely they will find someone that is able to help.

He is a little confused when Ned speaks of dreams instead of the request. But perhaps he is with his friend, and does not want to risk being overheard.]

What did you dream of? Was the dream of the ship?

( not here )

[brainsqueeze]

[ House Stark you say? Interesting ]

[wolfdreamer]

[yep they are totally medieval ancestors to Tony of House Stark that don't know shit about technology. make a note of that.]

[shallbeavenged]

[Ai responds because she's curious.]

Someone made those for you here?

video

[wolfdreamer]

Yes. When I first arrived here, there was a wheeled chair that I used. But my friend made these robotic legs for me, and they are far better.

[Quickly, he smiles.]

I am glad to see you.

[sweetmotherofgod]

[!!!]

You know, depending on what your friend needs - the person you're asking for, I mean - there's stuff in medbay they might be able to use.

[Nothing like what Bran's sporting, as far as she knows, but the other options are in her thoughts a lot, recently.]

video

[wolfdreamer]

Like the wheeled chairs? Or something else?

[He considers this, thoughtfully. The wheeled chairs will not do. And there should be no substitutes, not when it comes to something like this.]

I think my friend wants a robotic leg, like mine. But maybe there is something that can be used as material.

[klutziness]

i'm pretty handy with robotics. i can take a look at them.

[wolfdreamer]

You have my thanks for your offer. I knew that there were people clever with robotics aboard this ship and that they would help if they could.

Do you know what a prototype schematic is?

[culver]

Are they bad dreams?

[wolfdreamer]

They are not bad. Only strange. Do you have dreams?

[skjalf]

[ she is a little concerned. ]

May I ask what manner of strange dreams you have been experiencing, my lord?

video;

[wolfdreamer]

Dreams of the ship, sometimes. And sometimes dreams of home. And sometimes the two mix, and it is like Winterfell is in the ship, and its corridors have turned from stone to metal.

But they aren't bad dreams. Only strange. Do you dream, aboard this ship?

[northerner]

Did you speak with her, Bran?

[ well if the direwolf wasn't upset, that's promising. ]

locked.

[wolfdreamer]

I did. I told her we had once had a truce. But she was newly woken from the jump, and she was-- unhappy. I don't know that she will be as willing to hear terms of a truce. And I did not see any sign of dragons, but she had not yet found her locker. She might have them here.

[He hesitates, a moment.]

She called the North hers.

Robotic legs? Piece of cake.

[Dirk, don't brag now. Only he doesn't have much of a choice. Robotic legs are a piece of cake. The functioning behind them is elementary to him. Although he's never made prosthetics for a person, he's sure it wouldn't be that complicated.

How old is this kid anyway? (also Dirk is ignoring how cool that wolf is holy shit he's never seen anything like that before) Dirk's not so sure how he is on the whole moral front of demanding something from a cripple kid. Isn't exactly on his bucket list of things to accomplish in life.]
