TWENTY SEVEN: VIDEO

[puppydogeyes]

[The feed opens on Tyke in the SEC offices, expression the usual set lines that indicate another security broadcast, another load of fucked up going down on the TQ.]

This is Tyke, head of Security. You all saw that. We need to go in, find them, and get them to safety.

[Certain and hard on the last. This won't be a repeat of the Scylla. She's determined not to play into Ward and Resnik's hands again, but she's fully aware it won't be possible to hold anyone back from getting involved.]

Don't underestimate the hallways. You're heading out, come down to SEC, floor 001, pick up supply packs and weapons. Get in a team if you don't have one.

[There are rows of ship-standard black duffel bags sat on the long board table behind her, packed up, ready to go. She hasn't waited around. She's been preparing since Gunnery's announcement. But there have been some changes on any single plans of recon and recovery, because now their people are under threat, and she knows her priorities.]

Anyone not heading out, get to medbay. We're gonna secure and fortify it, get it stocked. You need an escort getting over there, call us.

[A beat, frowning at the camera.]

Watch out for each other.

I'm heading out with Dean. We'll be down in a few to pick up weapons.

[puppydogeyes]

And supplies.

[Her tone allows for no argument. A beat, and she switches to private.]

He hasn't been out there before. [Not like this. And neither has Allison, but out of the two, she knows Allison's more likely to listen to her.] Don't let him get over his head.

[sorrycharles]

[private text]

[puppydogeyes]

[She frowns at the number for a minute, but manages to contain her initial reaction in favour of:]

Who?

[priceoffreedom]

I'm heading out.

[puppydogeyes]

Got people?

voice.

[kutte]

I'm staying up on the main battlement. Things get bad, I'll get to you.

voice.

[puppydogeyes]

I'm sending someone back up. I want three of those machine guns. [A beat.] Four.

[ awkwardest attempt at contact in the land. ]

Be careful.

[puppydogeyes]

[It's awkward. It's so awkward, and she knows that saying the wrong thing here could result in exactly the same conversation as last time. But this is worse than the boggarts, and she can't just ignore the knots in her gut at the idea of no contact, just blindly pretending he'll be okay.]

Where are you?

[dogbane]

I'll have someone on our side to coordinate with you shortly. I need to run supplies

We're good for water and non-perishables but we still can't sleep more than half the passengers. if you can drag in some bedding on the way that'd be great

[puppydogeyes]

Priority's fortification.
I'll put it on the list.

[circumitus]

[Screen is flickering off and on, before it's gone completely.]

[Static.] --out.

[voice]

[puppydogeyes]

[Oh, for fuck's sake.]

Alone?

[dewittinvestigations]

[ Such a fuss about all this. What the hell. ]

Who are these people and why should we care about them?

video

[puppydogeyes]

[There's a beat before she replies, frowning slightly, well aware she's possibly the worst person to ask for a run-down on anything.]

Government researchers who've been tracking the ship. Contacted us a few times. Now they've boarded.

[doggedly]

[puppydogeyes]

[Well that's all... exactly the kind of shit she wants to hear. Outside of "not going out there at all".]

Be careful.

[fullmoon]

Let me know if/how I can help.

[puppydogeyes]

Can you help Sirius get those charms down faster?

[voice]

[forerun]

[Minho doesn't have time to sit around punching out a message, but he's not so keen on videos right now either. So have a kind of gruff sounding teenager.]

Are weapons for anyone, or only shanks working security?

[voice]

[puppydogeyes]

Anyone that can prove they know how to use them. Properly.

[And don't give her a bad feeling in her gut, but she doesn't share that part.]

[video]

[coldhardy]

[Elsa looks serious and composed; only the wideness of her eyes shows that she's a little bit frightened. So far, she's keeping it under control, but if she can't, she'll have to go somewhere isolated.]

I'll help however I can.

[She switches to private.]

If you need to fortify an area, I might be useful.

[Actively helping is probably the best way to keep herself from becoming completely terrified.]

[video; private]

[puppydogeyes]

[Taylor doesn't judge anyone by their appearance, so there's nothing skeptical in her tone or expression as she asks:]

What kind of useful?

voice;

[handelaar]

Staying here.

[More check-in than anything.]
