Who: Athos
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: 06/07

[ It has taken Athos the better part of the day to curb the initial wave of panic within him. At first, it been monumental, the likes of which he had not felt in many years. One look out of the window had sent his breath from his body and his hands trembling in the wake of all that black. Athos had not known there were that many stars in the sky. The understanding had left him fairly certain he'd been one step away from madness, barely managing to claw his way back to his way back to control of himself.

Which means he's not happy.

Using the communicator feels foreign to him. But from watching others he can only gather that it is like a window, though one that lets a man see much further than merely outside. If it had been the first thing he'd come across, he would have crushed it beneath his boot - but after realising he's floating his way through nothingness, a simple thing like witchcraft isn't as impressive. When he addresses the fleet he makes sure to do so without any trace of fear on his face. His scowl is firmly fixed, the brim of his hat darkening his eyes.

My name is Athos, Captain of the King's Musketeers. I seek an audience with whoever has brought me here. [ He has to remain dignified, at least for now, but there is a hint of threat still in his voice. ] As well as the immediate return of both my companions and my effects.

[ He'd been with d'Artagnan and Porthos, they'd been right beside him. And here he is, his uniform pressed but sans pistol or rapier, and no sign of them. His mouth twitches slightly, the shadow across his face stretching. ] I do not appreciate being taken against my will. You would do well to make haste.

I don't know, I never really like reality vid shows? Because there aren't enough explosions, ever.

We go different places, so I guess that's fun for some people. And sometimes they'll do shit like have us get attacked. I guess for the excitement.

I guess it depends on what you mean by refusing. You don't get to refuse being put on one of the ships in the fleet, just like you didn't get to refuse being kidnapped. Which... is bad or good depending on how shitty the place you came from is, I guess.

You could always sit around on your bunk and not do anything once you're on a ship, I guess. That'll mean you don't get hardly any credits and it's pretty unfair to your assigned crew.

If they're a shitty crew, I guess it wouldn't. But you already have a job assigned, and even if you've never been in a spaceship before I guess they do some kind of recode so you have all the necessary knowledge to do your job function.

If you refuse to do your job and integrate with your crew, it means they will carry you as dead weight and you're holding back whatever strengths you can bring to the team. And you do have strengths, whether you think you do or not.
