[ jax is leaned back in one of the seats on the gunnery observation deck, twisting his heavy rings round his finger. the comm is propped ostensibly on his monitor while jax slouches back, ill at ease. ]

While we're chewing over Odessa's offer, I got something else to put on the table.

[ more like a heads up. jax's expression is serious, the twist of his rings a more clear show of anxiety than he's displayed on comms in his entire stretch on the ship. ]

Our rescuers've got us surrounded. Sensors are picking up a mess of ships out there. I figured that's about as worthy of discussion as everything else she and her new best friend are puttin' on the table.

...A what?

[ That one's easy enough to figure out from context, though, and he scoffs in jaded amusement. ]

I guess it is. A mindfuck.

Sounds to me like we've just got to find a way to increase our luck.

You got any ideas, we're all ears. Better yet, if you got a miracle now's the time to share it.
