sixth molotov cocktail made ☾ ( video ) ☾ look out to the future but it tells you nothing.
[ lydia looks like she's exhausted and if she's truthful about it she honestly is exhausted. for a moment it looks like she's not going to say anything, that she just wanted to broadcast her own face just to show how she appears before she ends up just exhaling. ]
I've been here two years. I know we don't measure things by months and years here but— it's been 25 jumps and where I come from that might as well mean two years. I've been home for months at a time and it felt like a blink of an eye. [ she pauses. ] I'm tired of being on this ship. You get people who are dead at home here and there's no guarantee they'll stay. If you're lucky they stay and you get to bond with them. If you're not, they just leave and you don't. You— who can totally go back home and be alive. They can't.
I get wanting to stay because of that. You all can enjoy being on a creepy horror ship that I'm honestly pretty sure wants us dead or something even worse. It's better than being dead at home, I'll give you that. But I want to go home already. I want to see my mom again and not find myself back here afterward.
[ lydia clears her throat. ] I want to find a way home. I don't want to make this place my home any more than I have. And to do that, I need to do a little research. Now, if you're the type that's getting a little tired of being here and would like to help, you should come talk to me. And maybe, with any luck and a lack of another plague happening, we might actually make some headway.

Tiny ninja might be useful. No one expects someone small to attack them for obvious reasons. [ There's something to be said about the hacking, but Lydia sort of barrels past it and focuses on a slightly more important question. ]
Two questions: what exactly is too distractable according to the "World's Greatest Detective" and how good is he really?

[ And, he really is good at hacking. Skills that he's using a lot in Comms. ]
Well. I joke all the time, and sometimes at stakeout, Batman doesn't feel the aster. [ Yes, language slaughtering and puns are among the jokes. Sometimes, Batman may have a point. ] I also attract attention, it's a gift, and sometimes that can be used - sometimes it's not a good idea. I sometimes try to hog his attention, and he clearly doesn't enjoy that when he's working on a case.
And he really is good. To the point where he comes up against metahumans and wins, only on the basis of his deductions. And being prepared.
[ Sure, he's singing B's praises, but he's doing it in a quiet, serious tone. He means every word he's saying, and it's not childish adoration, either. Just knowing what he's talking about. ]
