[ ariadne had been mulling over what she was planning on saying for a bit now, so the moment the feed clicks in, she is looking squarely into it, her expression clearly is anything but happy - she looks outright annoyed to be honest.

a small sigh, a she is speaking into the device then. ] Look. If we don’t start making lists soon, we’re never going to be able to keep an eye out for each other. [ adding almost frustrated. ] We are in no way as organized as we should be.

[ yes she knows they are trying – or at least a handful are. but this is getting to be ridiculous to her. and she would rather prevent things like what just happened from happening again. ]

Is anyone willing to take on a few of these lists? [ her tone almost appears to be hopeful then, as she is adding: ] Maybe a list could have some of the skill sets we as passengers possess? [ she knows you all have them, it is just a matter of finding out what they are. and if you're going to share with the class of course.

again she is letting a small sigh escape her, as she quickly makes a small face at her thoughts. knowing she just needs to move onto her next topic before she loses them. ] I'm also looking to talk with the victims from the previous attack. [ a beat and she is then reassuring ] I'm not about to cause any issues for anyone involved. But I would just like to hear your thoughts on it.

So if you wouldn't mind getting in contact with me, I'd appreciate that a lot.

[ locked to OPR » 001 » 099 | encrypted 85% ] I know who you are. Do you think we can talk?

I would rather that you did not expose me for pure sentiment.

Then meet with me?

[ she honestly didn't have any plans on exposing him. but she had learned a trick or two about trying to get what she wanted, and lying slightly here only seemed to be worth a shot. ]

To what end?

Everything Kirk and his second have said is correct. Otherwise I would have made my voice heard.

To what end? I just want to hear all of this from you yourself. Why is that so much to ask?

Humans do not ask once our hunger is exposed. There is nothing more to ask.

Well I'm not from your world. And I tend to look for answers in everything. It just answers; you were willing to give them to Kirk, why not me?

You have not yet asked a question that has not already been answered.

[It's not a concession, exactly, but he's not telling her to stop talking.]

Do you really want me to ask them over the network. Even with things encrypted, who’s to say they are all that entirely safe?

[There isn't any way to be certain. He knows that - this filter isn't even a particularly secure one, although its sheer otherness is plenty to make it difficult to crack. However, only a face-to-face meeting can be entirely guaranteed to be private... and dangerous, if she has a vendetta. He'll need to navigate this one carefully.]

A time and a place can be arranged. However, I will warn you that I do not take kindly to those who waste my time. If you still have an interest in speaking to me, you must first bring something of value to me. Let the price be set at however valuable these answers are to you.

What exactly would you be interested in?

Information.

[Not that he expects her to have any worth trading for, but he doesn't gain anything by lying.]

[ it takes ariadne a good few minutes to reply back to him, just wanting to honestly consider what she has to offer and just what she shouldn't offer. but when she does, she is hoping it is enough. ]

I have maps. Ones not everyone has.

[Maps, schematics - those could be useful. This is no hive, and even he loses his bearings more often than he cares to admit.]

How did you obtain these maps?

I made them. I'm an architect. But as far as how I got the details on some things, I can't reveal my sources. I do them after all.

[ she of course was able to obtain some of the bridge from kirk, but he did trust her enough not to tell anyone that and she does keep her promises for the most part. ]

Your offer is fair.

Arrangements shall be made at my convenience. Do not attempt to seek me out, or this trade will be terminated.

[And so might she.]
