[Video] [Locked on the private encrypted frequency]

[tallasaking]

[The video is fumbled on as Tyrion Lannister is staring out the front of the First Breath, abject horror touching his face.]

By the Seven ... by the fucking Seven! What is that - what is that -

[He looks at his video, fumbling with it, to point it towards the Marvisa.]

There's some sort of .... terrifyingly large gun coming out of the ship and it's - Ah.

AH SHIT!

[He slapped on the communicator, flipping the ship to the encrypted frequency.]

This is a warning! Repeat, this is a warning! You are in grave danger! You must leave immediately - I repeat! Grave danger! The giant gun is pointed Right At You and you have to get out of there NOW -

[The gun goes off with a giant flicker of light into the nothing, and Tyrion sucks in a harsh breath.]

... oh no.

...Shit. [He breathes the word out through gritted teeth and then runs a hand down his face. He'd just been thinking this place was pretty boring, and now he has to think about being sat next to a giant cannon.]

Either way, nothin' comes out lookin' good for us. The Atroma know we been helpin' those guys out and those guys're gonna either be dead or a lot less helpful the next time some shit goes down.

Or simply more cautious.

[His fingers were rubbing across his beard.] And I am starting to wonder - if all the Atroma are on the same page. Because if they knew that they were out there, all this time, why wait until now? What is in this data that is so valuable that we can't have it, but who wants us to have it in the first place?

Unless the data was some kinda trap.

[Because he'd been tinkering with it once it hit the network and it seemed...not entirely useful, but not entirely useless either. Just enough to attract attention without giving away any huge discoveries about the true nature of Atroma.]

I ain't a strategist by any means, but if those Atroma guys knew about the other ship and knew we were makin' contact, why not use as a way to piggyback an attack against 'em?

[Tyrion sighed, and it's an aggravated sigh.] We are going to keep running in circles until we have what we have properly analyzed. Otherwise we are just going to be assuming all sorts of things. Before we toss it out into the rubbish, I want to know what was so damned valuable down there.

Did anyone get a copy? 'Cause whatever was on the network seems t'be dead for me. I can't get into it at all.
