Who: Pyrrha and you!
Broadcast: fleetwide video
Action: on the marsiva
When: now!

[Pyrrha wakes with a start. Stress and panic are apparent on her face, and she needs to take a few seconds to drop her face into her hands so that she can reorient herself and make an attempt at calming herself down. After a few deep breaths and several seconds to try to put herself back together, she pulls her head up and glances around, and then gets out of bed. She knows what a camera feels like, and she knows that there's one there. So, in the hopes that someone will hear her, she speaks:]

Um... hello? I'm not sure if anyone can see or hear this, and I'm not sure what's going on, but... I need some answers. Like where we are now. I'm Pyrrha Nikos, of Beacon Academy. [She pauses, considering what she wants to say next. Her voice grows stronger as she continues, too.] I demand to be released. I need to find my team—I'm not sure if they're here or not, but I need to find them. I was doing something important, too, so I apologize for being unable to stay.

[And for those on the Marsiva: Pyrrha's wandering around, though mostly keeping to herself. When she does approach people, though, she offers a subdued smile and a hello. She mostly wants to see if other people are doing okay, and also being kidnapped gives her something to focus on because people might? Need help. Also, she wants to get to know people.]

I don't like it, either.

We've been taken onto these ships to participate in a reality TV show. You'll be assigned to one of the proper ships on the weekend. We're being watched, apparently constantly.

We were made to carry 'cargo', to deliver it to the station we're currently docked at, but the station heard nothing of it, and the suspicious cargo was enough to freeze our accounts of money. And the cargo in question was just gumballs.

I'm not sure I see how suspicious gumballs are, unless it was purely for the sake of creating more drama for the television show.

This is all good to know, at least.

I don't know either. It's probably just the drama, unless there's something in them the Atroma are using us to smuggle.

Perhaps. The Atroma could have a darker side to them, too, though that is not going to be common knowledge, I'm sure.

They've kidnapped us, are forcing us to smuggle something even if it's harmless, and have forced us under the scrutiny of more worlds than we ever knew existed.

I would say they have nothing but a darker side.

Then... we'll have to find out more about the Atroma. [She wants to think there's something good going on somewhere, but after everything that happened in Vale, she knows what the reality of the situation could potentially be too.]

That's the goal, but they seem to be out of our reach. For now.

[Sorry, Pyrrha. Blake doesn't believe in good things happening.]

For now. We'll see, though.

Which ship are you on, Blake?

The...

[.... uuuuuuuugh, she has to say it out loud.]

... The "Wonderduck".

[That actually gets a smile, subdued as it is.]

The Wonderduck?

[goddamnit. even pyrrha nikos the actual goddamn saint is judging. why is this my life now. can we rename the ship.]

That's... what it's called, yes.
