Who: Greedling and You!
Broadcast: All
Action: The Marsiva
When: Now!

[The feed kicks in to show the latest arrival at where else? The viewing bay where rather than the empty expanse of space, there's now the view of an ice world within sight. A single figure is standing there with his hand pressed to the glass. He seems to be in a conversation already, even though he appears to be alone. His voice is deeper than what might be expected from such a young looking face.]

Do you think I care about all that? Just look at it. The entire expanse of the universe just waiting for me, as well as an entirely different planet. I always knew one world wouldn't be enough for me. The whole galaxy? Well, that might just do the trick.

[Ling, the docile observer just now, can't be too alarmed to realize Greed has gone from wanting one world to wanting a galaxy. Still... it's far more ambitious than simply one country. And you're content to let your Father go unpunished for what he's done? That's remarkably selfless of you to simply forgive and forget.]

Can it, you brat. What I do with him can wait. Right now, I just want to see what that little planet down there has to offer.

[ She shrugs ]

Don't know. You won't know either until you get booted off the Marsiva in a couple of days.

But I'm sure whoever they are will definitely enjoy rooming with the type of person who starts off their stay here with a evil mustache-twirling take over the world -- or worlds, I guess? -- kind of speech.

[He has a good chuckle at that.]

Think so, huh? Well, I don't have a mustache just yet. As for the rest, people flock to those with ambition. Those that don't aren't really worth my time.

I'm going to guess they aren't going to flock the way you'd like them to.

[ She puts her chin in her palm ]

Unless your ambition is to get everyone the hell out of here, that is.

Why wouldn't it be? Of the many things I desire, freedom is certainly among them.

You can't exactly be in charge of everything if you're not here.

It's the galaxy out there, in case you didn't notice. Getting out of here just means ditching these guys keeping me boxed in. The where after that isn't important.

[ She sighs. She's pretty sure that this galaxy is pretty contained to just what Atroma wants them to see, but there's no point in talking about that to this guy. Especially when it's still only a theory. ]

And you think that you, because you're special, will be able to accomplish that where everyone else failed.

Maybe I do. But I haven't given up yet, so I have that in my favor.

[Besides... 'nothing's impossible' is sort of his catch phrase.]

I don't think anyone has given up. I'm just asking because you're in for a lot of disappointment if you think you're in for an easy ride.

Now what gave you the idea I thought it would be easy? If something isn't hard to get, then it's almost not even worth having.

You wouldn't be the first to underestimate everyone else here, is all.

As far as the planet we're stopped at, most of what it "has to offer" is snow and salt.

... snow and salt, huh? Shouldn't the two of those cancel each other out?

They're mostly separate but nearby from what I've seen. A lot of the mines are underground, too.

Well I can't think of a whole lot of uses for snow and sand, but it's still going to be worth a visit.

[... just as soon as he gets off this ship. He's fairly impatient in that regard.]
