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.

I'll pass. But thank you for considering me! I don't really do "gangs" or "teams" or "crews."

[ which is an outright lie, but sounds better than "you seem a little crazy and like you might try to make me drink the kool-aid." ]

Suit yourself, Jade. I'm willing to wait.

You're, um. You're gonna be waiting a while. But ehe, okay. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help in the meantime, alright?

Only if there's any important information you've withheld so far.

Dunno if I'd say "withheld." I just mostly meant - if you wanted to know about augments, or - do you even know what your augment is?

This thing, right? [He reaches back to touch the back of his neck.] I can't say that I do. How do I find out?

Oh, jeez, um, this is kind of weird - just think about it, I guess? You should know what you are, I think... maybe you don't know you know. Or maybe your other personality knows. [ HELPFULLY... ]

[I'm as clueless as you are.]

I can't say I'm good at self reflection... [A shrug.] All of this new technology doesn't seem as odd as to me as it should be. But nothing seems to stand out.

I'm sure you'll figure it out. You'll get everything settled when you're assigned to your ship, so don't worry about it, okay?

Consider me relaxed. So once I do figure it out, what kind of things will this augment let me do? I can't say I would object to a few new powers.

Um. Stuff like engineering, or piloting, or... cooking, mostly. Things that'd be useful on a ship. What kind of powers do you have already? [ consider her curiosity piqued. ]

As much as I would love to brag, I'm not telling. I'd just as soon keep that a surprise.

That's okay! [ she's definitely cheerful sounding when she says this. ] Mine are probably cooler, anyway.

Maybe they are. I'll look forward to when I get a chance to see them. [... though he's not holding his breath.]

[ she wasn't really expecting him to take the bait, and she's grinning a little when he answers that way. hey, it was worth a shot. ]

They sort of malfunction a little sometimes here, so if it's not super impressive, don't blame me. [ she's never really bothered keeping them a secret, anyway. ]

[He may not seem it at times, but he's actually a little more clever than he lets on.]

Sounds like something you'll just have to work on.
