[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.

It's not something I would rule out right away.

But you're free to make your own choices, of course.

Don’t we all.
 
[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.

[Her eyes flicker, and she smirks, just a little.]
 
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.

[She's quick to mollify and smooth it over.]

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.]

[There is OBVIOUS HESITATION here. How much does she tell him? She can't trust him not to go blathering on to other people that she's a Cylon.]

I'm familiar with them.

[She scowls.]

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.

You're very curious, Megamind. I like that about you.
