Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Windrose
When: now

[Look, someone is actually taking it easily, making notes and recording everything that happened lately so he can go through it all later and pick thing apart.]

I'm probably looking too much into this but-

[He shifts, wincing slightly as he sits more upright.]

We're here for entertainment right? Could Atroma have staged that attack? It doesn't seem like they gave a damn during the attack and, I mean, the Marsiva wasn't touched, was it? What would be more entertaining for people than seeing us all in real danger?

If they're willing to just kidnap us, they wouldn't be above this!

I've suspected for a long time that they were going to pull a stunt like this, yes.

I'm more surprised that it didn't turn out worse. I wonder if that other fleet was supposed to help us or not.

I already had suspicions about a previous incident, frankly.

And while I don't think they all out coordinated this one, I don't put it past them to use it to their advantage whatever that might be. If nothing else, they saw opportunity and took it.

Yeah, Belthazar mentioned that the fleet that came to our aid have attacked before? That's definitely suspicious.

They could have put word out about us, that's all most thugs need to attack.

I'm glad it didn't, but all the same- the attackers WERE pretty vicious, so I'm also surprised we didn't have more casualties.

[She rubbed her chin.]

That's a good question. There's the fact that we just HAPPENED to land on a planet with plentiful supplies right after the attack, which makes me believe Atroma staged it. But those others... I can't decide if that was part of the script or not.

Wouldn't that really get people excited though? Watching us fight for our lives, knowing someone might die? Maybe a favorite?

It's too convenient. Everything is, the fact that no ships were lost, that we were relaxed, we let our guard down.

Sure. [This was a thought-provoking answer to get, right?] Lots of things are possible.

How are you doing? All rested after everything?

[So thought provoking, his thanks.] I just can't trust this place to have proper coincidences.

[Faint nod.] As rested as I can get.

That's a good place to start, but coincidences could still happen. You could lead yourself around in circles that way.

And somehow that answer sounded less than reassuring.

Good thing there are experienced people here to tell me when my suspicions are all wrong. [he's not... completely against help.]

You aren't wrong. [Deep breath. Ow.] I broke a couple ribs, sleep isn't easy.

I guess it is. [You're going to end up getting her involved in fleet mysteries somehow aren't you?]

No spells for fixing ribs I take it?

[Not intentionally? He can at least promise to try to keep trouble focused on him rather than anyone else.]

No, I'm a mage, not a priest. And the garden on the Iskaulit doesn't have the ingredients to make a healing potion.

You did at least see a doctor, right? [Though she knows ribs can just take a long time to heal without much to be done to speed it along unless there's future tech or magic involved.]

Maglor bound them for me but there's not much else that can be done. [So no, he didn't really.]

Dr. Maglor? [Suspicious.]

Uh... no? He's an elf. [Not looking right at the video now.]

It's true, they could have. Or one of the many places we have visited could have sent out word as well. We left an impression on a way station not that long ago, to say the least.

_{[ Because Fenris and some others were murdering salvers and Kirk might
have sent out massive amounts of their confidential data to the quadrant,
but that's not worth talking about now. ]}

That's why I say if nothing else Atroma could have just taken advantage of the situation rather than engineered it. There's no evidence here, only theory and supposition. Still, doesn't make me trust them any more than I did before, and before I didn't trust them at all.

Atroma is so secretive, how can we really get evidence at all? Especially since the raiders ran off so quickly, and with their injured. And so did the fleet that came to help us, we can get answers from them either.

[He wishes he was better with technology, that he could get back to the Marsiva and take the answers from their systems.]

I wouldn't put it beyond them.

Well, if he's good enough for Santa...

Does he have a lab augment?

Santa?

[Wait. Not important.]

I don't think he does but I'm not actually sure.

You basically just saw a random guy about a physical injury?

He offered to bind my ribs, easier to have someone else do it than try myself.

[Wow, way to make it sound worse than it was.]

Yes, other person is a step up from doing absolutely nothing.

I can sleep at least a bit easier now.

I'm saying do better. I know we don't have anyone with the augment but try the Blue Fish. They're lousy with them.
