[That is one surly looking alien sitting on a piano bench, a guitar -- just holding it. Not plucking, not strumming, not even tuning. Just holding it.]
Albert Wily is missing.
From what I can gather he's been missing since before the incident in the corridors.
So -- how many is that now? So much for our vaunted security -- official or otherwise -- or the people who pretend like they're authority here-- How many have to vanish before any of us do anything?
Useless. All your talk of organization, of safety -- and not a one of us are safe -- and we don't even know if it's one of us -- or one of them.
[He snorts softly, eyes cutting to the side, before he kills the comm signal]

Does he now?
[She leans on her hand, smiling softly at the camera.]
I get you. [She toys with a lock of hair, eyes glinting.] How special, a private club...don't they realize, they're no better than the rest of us? How terribly unfair, to isolate themselves...
[video] - MegaCyclon Encryption because holy hell he wants that encrypt so bad (sheah right megs)
[Which is problematic. But the more people looking at THEM the better off he'll be as he works. Asking them for answers, asking them to handle their problems-- yes, that's a great target for divide and conquer. Especially as more people vanish.]
Perhaps they have designs on the ship itself.
[video] - MegaCyclon Encryption NOT HAPPENING XD
[She muses on this.]
Perhaps. But something tells me no.
[video] - MegaCyclon Encryption sob
You think they're just enjoying the illusion of temporal power? Makes them feel better about their situation?
[video] - MegaCyclon Encryption SORRRRRY MEGSY
But you're free to make your own choices, of course.

What do you think they're doing?
[video] - MegaCyclon Encryption
[She ponders this.]
They could be doing one of several things. Considering there seems to be no visual crew besides ourselves, perhaps they are doing what they truly think needs to be done – which would be to run the ship.
However – from the records I’ve pulled, several jumps have already been made with little to no prior warning from anyone, which would lead me to believe that there either is someone pulling the strings, or the ship itself is sentient.
If the first is the case, then there is little actual need for any group of passengers to assume they are better suited to run this ship than anyone else.
If the ship is sentient…
[A shrug.]
Then we go with her. There is nothing to be done about that. [Yes it’s a her. The base stars hybrid was female in nature and worked in conjunction with the navigational, technological systems of the ship and therefore it seemed…appropriate to assume that this ship was similar.
She’d have to directly interface to know more, but she needed an opportunity to get close to one of the consoles. A random wire wouldn’t do.]

Otherwise we might have to consider that she's gone mad.
[Not really a comforting thought there, Caprica.]
[video] - MegaCyclon Encryption
It is something you should consider, Megamind. [Both sentience, and that its gone mad.]
I pegged you one for attention to detail, for all potential possibilities and outcomes.
I suppose I could have overestimated you.
[video] - MegaCyclon Encryption
I said I didn't want to consider, not that I hadn't. The idea that we're living in the bell of a mad juggernaut hurtling through space isn't ideal.
[He's a little miffed now. Overestimated! Pffft!]
[video] - MegaCyclon Encryption
I'm sorry. I misunderstood.
Where I come from, sentient machines are commonplace, as are...intelligent ships. [To a DEGREE anyway. The raiders were more like pets than anything else.]

[video] - MegaCyclon Encryption
I'm familiar with them.

They don't go crazy. There are -- defective models, at times, but that's...
[Another hesitation.]
If a model is defective, it's generally determined by a consensus. And -- sometimes subjective.
