Who: Syeira and anyone who thinks this applies to them
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Red Fish if desired
When: After the sweep
[Video]
[Clean up has been rough to say the least. The place is still stained, and it might never come out. But this is when she realizes what's happened. She calls them, and they don't answer. She goes to their rooms, and the places are empty. They're gone.
She doesn't trash her room, or break down. Though it's a near thing. It stays a near thing, hovering just under the surface when she turns on her comm. She looks worried, distressed, but she holds onto her calm with both hands.]
Red Fish crew... This is your captain. I need you all to check in. Now preferably.
Actually, everyone I know, please check in. I need to see who's still here.
[The why. She should tell people why. They have other friends.]
Zhas and Coil are both gone.
[Shit! She will not cry. She swallows and her eyes are moist but she doesn't cry. ]
Just say something. Please.

She'll fix that.]
Thanks. [For checking in.] Did you know them at all?
[Zhas and Coil weren't easy to get close to, so she has to ask, to know.]

Sure. [ Carl shakes his head, offering a small shrug. ] Not really. I met Zhas once and talked to Coil a few times. He saved my ass when we got boarded.
video;;
Coil's good guy.
[He'd probably get very offended if he heard her say that. No chance of that though.]
I'm sorry you didn't get more time with them.

[ It just gets exhausting losing people. ]
Re: video;;
I wish I did.
Well. Are you all right, since the attack? Do you need anything?
video;;
[ It's not meant as a snide remark, he's just curious. Of course, she probably knew them a lot better than he had. He'd feel a certain kind of way if Maggie just disappeared, too.
Thankful for the distraction, Carl pushes the hat on his head back a bit more. See, he's fine. Just an ugly-looking scrape and a bruise on his wrist. ]
I'm a lot tougher than I look.
Re: video;;
[She's not defensive or angry, at least not angry about him asking. But she's definitely tired of it happening. Tired, and guilty.
But his during her his injuries with that confidence makes her expression soften.]
I believe it. People on this ship are always tough.
I could fix those for you, if you want.
video;;
[ Making connections with people and having them ripped away in an instant is more painful than anything. Losing someone just replays through your head more than the happy memories. ]
I think the ship is in worse shape than we are.
[ Which is a good thing, though fixing things is kind of a pain. He doesn't even know where to start as far as the engine is concerned. ]
Oh. [ An idle glance to the bruise. ] You don't have to, stuff like that heals.
[ Really, he's more used to just letting things heal on their own than getting medical attention. If it wasn't life-threatening or bleeding profusely, it wasn't worth wasting a bandage. ]
video;;
[Coil hated it when she healed him. It didn't stop her, when the injures were bad enough to get in his way. But she tried to respect his wishes generally, she'd do the same for Carl.]
video;;
[ It's something that he'd at least try once, but maybe save it for something more serious. After all, she probably has more than him to worry about. He'd rather not have her wear out her magic or anything like that. ]
video;;
[She's venturing a guess. There's a good shot she's right.]
