[ The feed starts with static, thin and crackling. There's the trace of a voice coming through, short interrupted clips that eventually resolve into a steady and markedly sarcastic tone. ]

—ing in with the soporific discovery of yet another corridor that is very unexpectedly abandoned. And also not where it's meant to be on your bloody maps, by the way. You'd have better luck navigating Neverland.

I'd rather be navigating Neverland. [ Emma's scowled dismissal is easily distinguished in the background. ] I thought you said you knew how to do this? [ So much for trusting the pirate to know how to navigate. ]

Is this a pirate thing? [ Kate is going to make equally helpful contributions to this conversation, her tone dry. ] Inability to navigate except on water? Or did you get lost on your own ship, too?

Oh, I know how to navigate a ship—

Are you still broadcasting this? [ Reaching her hand out, Emma demands the device from him. ] Gimme that. [ A short wrestling match later, she wrestles it out of his hand. You can tell because she's louder. ] If you don't have anything to report, don't report it. [ With that flat scolding, she terminates the feed. ]

I'm embarrassed for you, buddy. There is no other way to say it.

It is gratifying to know that you are having so much success.

[How much sarcasm can you fit in one sentence? Enough.]

Perhaps you can inform us of the next corner you find?

Oh, y'all sound like you're having fun out there. Did you get un-tangled-up, yet?

[ Look, he can be a responsible Comms officer and try to make sure that if this is some sort of almost-cry-for-help, it doesn't go unanswered, right? ]

[And slightly muffled, as Shepard is clearly standing a few paces off:]

Better yet, have them draw a diagram of it.

[ Kate sees your sarcasm and calls. ] Oh my god, here's another. It's like you guys are psychic! Here let me draw it for you.

[ The feed switches to video, a poorly lit shot of a generic hall corridor. There's the sound of someone breathing deliberately, and then Kate's hand fills the frame, the mirror'd comm device in her palm, all fogged up. With her finger she draws an L and then another L an inch out from it. Literally the world's simplest diagram of a corner. Thankfully it's already fading. ]

[As soon as Javik figured out what she was going for he jogged the few steps to Shepard's side and held his comm out for her to see.

Ask and you shall receive.]

Commander-

Yeah, it's a pity you haven't got the resources you need to navigate, innit.

There's always not saying it at all, you know.

[ Not offended, just bored. Or mildly creeped out and trying to pretend otherwise, actually, but same thing. ] And it could be worse. I could be doing absolutely nothing to get us off this ship.

Untangled-up in what?

[ And he can be oblivious to your attempts, sorry buddy. ]

[ In the background of Hook's transmission, Kate's laugh can be briefly heard. ] Buuuuuurn.

[ This is a very long-suffering response. ]

And what resources would those be?

I don't know. I wasn't invited. Even if I did have ideas.

[ Somewhere safe and dealing with the soporific discovery of yet another corridor that is very unexpectedly abandoned, Claire taps her device. ]

Guys, if you can't say anything nice...

[ A beat, eyes narrowing slightly in curiosity. ]

Why not?

[ Did you get into trouble. Not saying he'd be impressed, but he'd probably be impressed. ]

Better this than complete silence, love.

[ Faith in anyone having nice things to say, approximately zero. This beats the slow madness of last month's tapping, anyway. ]

Says the guy who won't stop talking. [ scowling !!! ] Some of us might appreciate the change of pace.

Okay, how about this: boys aren't allowed to talk?

[ This is a definitive solution that everyone should feel good about. ]

Hear hear.

[ she knew she liked you, claire. 10 points to ... gryffindor ??? ]

I have to admit that you do have a point with that one.

[ And she does agree. It would be equally as mortifying - and horrifying - if she suddenly lost them. ]

You could just say Hook's not allowed to talk, Bucky's practically silent anyway. And it could be worse, Brad liked to sing.

Suddenly everything gets done that much faster.

[ Just don't tell her Slytherin friends!!!! ]

Brad singing could be better or worse depending on what he chose to sing.

His favorites seem to be stuff from the 90s that isn't good enough to be classic or familiar enough to be nostalgic. So, worse.

[ Claire tries and fails to come up with an idea of what that might be. ]

So... I can't even think of anything. I need an example.

Do you know Air Supply? I'm All Out of Love, that stuff. [ She is so not going to sing it. (Yet.) ]
