mark iii suit ❦ [ text + two encyptions ]

[starked]

we might have a problem.

[ normally tony wouldn't bring this up at all, but creepy red smile thing is really fucking creepy and this is some shit out of a horror film. ]

not a demon problem, because unless i'm wrong winchester and the angel thing have that dealt with. was going to mention this before that came up, but not all of us can split our attention between two things. actually most of you can't.

right, though, problem of the ship variety.

[ and then an attachment entitled i am a smile and i am creepy is sent to everyone's device. ]

i know what you're going to say, tony you made the creepy smiling thing mad. you're going to get us all killed. no, i'm not. what i did was discover something kind of important. the good ship tranquility is watching us. and as much as i'm cool with being watched, kind of want to know who the fuck is watching me on this huge ship. weirdly enough.


i know you two are watching everything. what do you say about this?

[ finally tony adjusts his device to video and if they pay attention, they see that he's in his suit. it's a bit of a way to intimidate them, but he's not going to come right out and say it. ]

Okay, whatever, you two are in charge along with Kirk. I don't care, if that's one of you two, I want to know. Everyone does, but I'm the one who asked the questions and got the answer so I get the first answer.

[ She thinks about it for a very, very long time before finally responding. ]

chase.

[the_vishual]

[ Chase dislikes texting--her fingers are too small and she gets a little frustrated--so you'll have to pardon that it's audio. ]

Yes, miss?

permatext!

[wiretap]

[ She wouldn't be the first one, and Aberdeen assumes she won't be the last. Everybody has their reasons. (Aberdeen as well.) ]

do you know who i am?

[ Again, another assumption. Chase knew lots of things. It's what makes her both interesting and threatening. ]

[the_vishual]

[ Chase hardly looks down at the text before she speaks: ]

I know you're very smart, miss.

[wiretap]

so are you.

[ One text, following on the heels of the other. ]

aberdeen.

[ Not 'miss'. ]

[the_vishual]

Why do you always text?

[wiretap]

it's easier for me.
when i do.

[the_vishual]

Why? Speaking takes half the effort.

[wiretap]

not for me.

[ AKA: talking's hard. ]

[the_vishual]

Oh. Well, that's okay. I just don't like to text--I think my fingers are too small...

Can I help you with anything, miss? What did you need?

[wiretap]

it takes practice.

[ A beat, then: ]

aberdeen.

[ Then: ]

you knew the ship smiles.
how?

[the_vishual]

[Chase is quiet for a few moments. ]

You're worried I'm withholding information.

[wiretap]

[ She worries about a lot of things about Chase, truth be told. ]

curious as to your source.

[the_vishual]

God.

[wiretap]

prophetic or messianic?

[the_vishual]

the messiah is the Crowing. I am merely the Vishual.

[wiretap]

the vishual's function?

[the_vishual]

The herald for the Crowing.

[wiretap]

a herald who can either assess probability or divine the future.

[the_vishual]

I talk to God. He allows me to know what I need to know. [ A beat ] Why are you interested all of the sudden?

[wiretap]

because you knew about the ship.
you knew it smiled.
