Who: Sayid Jarrah
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Bishop
When: Post-Shuffle
action
[He'd only had a short time aboard the Marsiva before he found himself transported yet again, this time onto the bridge of a much smaller, less immaculate ship. Not long enough to figure out what was going on, not even long enough to browse the network.
Sayid's new shipmates will therefore find their newest member seated at the comm station, pretty much ignoring his celebratory pudding. (Someone else can eat it, if they want.) Perhaps somewhat notably, he's dressed in clothing that could reasonably be described as archaic - leather armor over simple clothing - and yet he doesn't seem awed or confused by the technology. Even with the augment, he seems pretty damn sure about what he's doing.]

[So yeah, there's this guy in fancy leather armor on screen. His arms are crossed over his chest, the look on his face is faintly annoyed, but he's calm and collected.]
I'm starting to worry that these kidnapping situations are going to become routine for me.
[Okay, but no that frustration isn't helpful, and he needs answers more than he needs to gripe.]
I'd like to know if there's anything expected of us here - other than to be amusing - or if we're otherwise allowed to live our lives unbothered. Our lives such as they are, anyway.
[Because, you know, the last time he was unexpectedly yanked from one place to another, there were games and dying and a lot of trauma. It'd be nice if that weren't repeated.]

Her last comment makes him curious.]
Does that mean you hold grudges easily?
[The tone of his question is non-judgmental, as if he's making conversation. He is, actually, somewhat interested in the answer. There might be other interpretations to what Looma said, but he's going to rule this one out first.]

[Easier. Definitely easier. But she's also more flexible about it, in her own weird way. In the interest of not alienating herself from the rest of the crew any more than she naturally will, she at least offers an explanation.]
On Khoros, an individual is judged by their actions as well as their skill. Specifically, whether those are beneficial to the rest of the group, or detrimental. I believe that system has merit. So I observe you, and everyone else, and apply that judgment as needed.
I will be most unforgiving if I notice someone has become a burden. But it is unlikely any would be foolish enough to cause me such offense that my disapproval would lead to violence.
[That last part was pretty much thrown in there as an olive branch of sorts- she knows it'd take some real failures in self-preservation skills on the part of one of the crew for her to destroy them, but experience has told her that usually needs to be spelled out to anyone not used to dealing with her.]
no subject
[Though it's not posed strictly as a question, it's clear that he's trying to gauge whether he understands her correctly.
It doesn't sound like a bad system of judgement, though Sayid isn't completely sure its one that everyone will appreciate. There are just some people who aren't going to be comfortable or willing to comply. He's not as sure as she is that it wouldn't happen.]
