Certainly not mine.

[ But hey, that sparking looks more dangerous than a fear of water has been. ]

You going to be alright?

NO!

[Well, there's that answer. She'd apologize for the volume if she weren't still incredibly pissed that she was surrounded by stuff that it was a very good idea she never touch.]

I've got enough juice stored to jump-start half the fleet! [That might be an exaggeration, but it was a lot] You have any idea what's gonna happen if I short circuit?!

[halfbloodhatchling]

Electrocution, I presume?

Shouldn't these ships be electrically isolated?

[shockjock]

They should. But hey, the jerks behind 'em were stupid enough to put me on Water-World, for all I know they cut a few corners makin 'em watertight, too!

[And that's not even beginning to take the rest of the planet into account. That cute little stunt with their idea of a spaceport would not have ended well with her.]

[halfbloodhatchling]

I think we're in trouble for other reasons if they're not.

[ Maybe? ]

Is there anyone else someone can do to help you?

[shockjock]

I kinda doubt it- yours truly is basically the universe's best-lookin' electrical box. I get even a little wet an' I start sparkin'.

I'm startin to consider dumpin' some of that charge straight into the hull, just in case. Maybe that way if this bucket of bolts does spring a leak, I won't serve up everybody inside extra crispy.

[More importantly though: It might hurt less if she does get doused.]

[halfbloodhatchling]

If you dump it to the hull, doesn't that create the risk of electrocuting everyone outside on purpose?

[ All of this sounds like a bad idea. ]
