Can anyone here do tattoos?

[Kai’s not certain about letting someone other than Jason cause him that kind of pain, or giving them the trust to mark him like that. But he also doesn’t know when he’ll get home, and not having done it nags at the back of his mind. And the scope of what he wants will probably take a while?]

I can talk about the specifics of what I want, but it’s intended as a sort of memorial, so fair warning there. I’ve got previous ones if you want to look at them.

[Not showing them on a broadcast at large, though, because they’re not in precisely appropriate locations.]

For the rest of you, what sort of things have you done while you’ve been in space that you didn’t think you’d ever do or that you regret.

Trying to get a sense of what I’m in for.

Precisely. The greatest trial of the fleet is the lack of resources, especially if you're accustomed to an abundance of them. [Going by his dress and demeanor, it might be easy to guess that's true for him. The castle also spoiled him in that regard, and while he can live without, he can't say he doesn't miss it] I've had to take the most basic of jobs to help pay for the things I want.

I might say your trigger finger can rest easy. There hasn't been much need for that sort of thing, though there are conflicts among the crew from time to time. Atroma uses the augments to manipulate us into it. The fleet has been attacked twice, but as a whole, and not for quite some time. The planets and stations come with their own hazards, but only the ones you walk into. We aren't here to play soldier.

If we’re not here to play soldier, then I might ask what I’m here for at all. I don’t do well with diplomacy.

[If they wanted someone whose words could come out into smooth rivers, they should have taken Ryder, rather than Kai. Of course, that assumes there’s been any sort of plan here at all.]

Nor am I particularly interested in becoming a cook.

[Besides, he’s been given weapons.]

[Felix huffs out a laugh]

Neither was I. And I haven't been very diligent in fulling that duty either, to be truthful. [He's tried, a little. But only a little.]

I can only tell you what everyone else will, and that is we're to be entertainment for the invisible masses. Not that there is much proof of that, beyond the money they send us. But that isn't to say we're safe at all times. I'm sure you can find violence if you wish to, and I am equally sure you'll be rewarded financially for it.

Baking bread is likely a good start.

I've heard that we're to be entertainment, and it seems a strange turn of events. Are people really so frequently bored that they want to watch us being bored as a cure?
