[Video] [FLEETWIDE] [Encrypted from Atroma]

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion's face appears on the screen, scarred and faintly bemused, as he peers at the feed, then shifts something off to the side. Some sort of computing device. He shifts it again, and the screen changes, narrows, with a small bit of scripts running along the top. He sighs, shakes his head a little.]

I need someone who has the communications augment. This ... this is not secure enough. It is secure, but not secure absolutely. Which is what we require.

[He grumbles, and goes back to fiddling with wires.]

I promise, I will not get sloppy. Not for a moment.

[He sighed, leaning into that touch.] I cannot afford to.

What are you worried about? I mean I know it's more than one thing but in order of importance?

Re: [Action]

[tallasaking]

The Atroma blowing us all up without any way for us to protect ourselves. Not being able to protect ourselves because they know all of our plans ahead of time.

[Action]

[passingthrough]

Seems like good things to worry about. Very life and death. I don't think they'd blow us up when they have more efficient means of control, but it would probably be interesting for ratings if they did.

You're not alone in this. Whatever this is.

Re: [Action]

[tallasaking]

Do you think they would go up, or down? We are pretty popular, you know.

[A pause, before he gave her another tight embrace.] I know. Thank you.

[Action]

[passingthrough]

I was pretty popular. I don't do anything but sit around sadly and miss Winn. They're probably getting tired of that. [She hugs back as best she can with the height difference.]

Re: [Action]

[tallasaking]

Well, you should take heed then. They'll probably try to make you do something interesting, soon enough.

[He leaned back and squeezed her own hands.] Now you promise me you shall be cautious.

[Action]

[passingthrough]

Make up your mind, Tyrion. Do you want me interesting or cautious?

Re: [Action]

[tallasaking]

Kitty you know you are very capable of both.

[Action]

[passingthrough]

I'm telling you it sounds like cross purposes. You think I'm going to do something reckless?

Re: [Action]

[tallasaking]

It has never been in your nature to be reckless. I just ask you to watch out for the Atroma.

[Action]

[passingthrough]

Okay, well, if you think it's never been in my nature then I have some stories for you. But...I'll do my best. [She considered some pretty reckless things right after she discovered Winn gone, but fortunately she was grieving too much to act.] I don't think they can hurt me much more than they already have though.

Re: [Action]

[tallasaking]

... I have a feeling that who you were before and who you are now are two very different people. [He paused, quietly.] Yet I do know how desperation looks on people, and you have that gleam in your eye. I would miss you if you got yourself killed -- so please don't?

[Action]

[passingthrough]

You should ask Kurt about it sometime. I'm sure it was a surprise for him running into me again now like this. He knew me back home. Met me when I was thirteen.

I'd miss you too if I got myself killed or if you got yourself killed. And I'm running out of slots for missing people, so I guess we'll both have to stay okay.
