Broadcast 02

[tothefly]

Who: Natasha Romanoff and you, flooters
Broadcast: Fleetwide, voice only
Action: Possibly, in comments. On the SS Windrose in Natasha's office most likely.
When: End of the second week of August.

[Some of you might recognize that cool, measured voice coming from your comm. Others might just hear a competent woman with a tone light enough to seem careless, at first, until the words sink in and you find the steel underneath them.]

Funny how some of us just seemed to go a little out of character these last couple weeks. I'd expected some complications from the implant, but personality changes? Seems like an easy way to rig the ratings. Cheap, if you want my opinion, but they don't really ask around here.

I'm Natasha, ship's counselor over on the Windrose. I'll be in my office most of the day over the course of the next week. If you'd like to make an appointment, let me know. I'd be happy to talk with each of you, regardless of your ship affiliation. And, of course, anything that passes between us is completely confidential.

You have my word, for what it's worth to you.

...I don't know if they have the term 'jinx' where you're from, but you've definitely set us up for it now. Every station from now on, nothing but bugs.

_{[ He laughed. ]}

Is there a way to remove this "jinx"?

[tothefly]

The usual folk remedy is to knock on wood. Three times, specifically. Generally I'm not much for superstition, but considering our luck...

[She smiles, a slightly lopsided but genuine look.]

[peacockherald]

I am to find wood in a fleet made of metal?

[tothefly]

That's the challenge, isn't it? Luckily, we're still planetside. If you believe in that sort of thing, at least there's plenty of trees around to bang on.

[peacockherald]

I suppose there is that. I might need to see if I cannot break off a bit of bark - for jinx emergencies.

[tothefly]

Never hurts to be prepared, Van.

[peacockherald]

Heh, you sound like my aunt and my sister when you say it like that.

[tothefly]

I'll take that as a compliment.

It very much is. Two more wonderful women you shall never meet.
