[Video] [FLEETWIDE] [Encrypted from Atroma]

[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 could use it after dealing with hard-headed lords in the East. [And cutting them down or ensuring their loyalty one by one. Or, you know, by significant handfuls. Whichever works better.]

I look forward to it. I enjoy reading myself.

You will probably need it. As it stands, I think the best thing we an do to ensure their loyalty is to offer them a carrot and a stick, and bring down whichever one they slide for. Some want shows of peace. Others bloodshed.

[A tip of the head.] We'll find plenty -- I have never come across so many books in my life.

It isn't terribly difficult to read men who are over proud. It is the silent ones that offer more of a risk; more of a challenge. [But she doesn't mind challenges.] This situation is unique and it binds us together as a true "fleet". Even if we cannot see eye to eye on how we conduct ourselves in our worlds, we can agree against being held prisoner.

Good.

Truer words, my Queen ... [They might not all like one another, but they were all agreed on one thing. The Atroma is worse.]

Now that you are on a ship ... we should come together at some point, me thinks.

I am aboard the S.S. Wonderduck. Can you find it or shall I come to you? [Since she is the pilot.]

I can most easily find the SS Wonderduck, and I shall come to you. Our shuttles here on the First Breath are much safer.

With your presence in them, I cannot disagree. [How did he become a shuttle expert?]

[A deep bow, and a quick, sly smile.] You flatter me and I accept it wholeheartedly.

I thought you might. [He is the bravest of lions in her eyes. One she is willing to protect with her full might here and in Westeros.] Shall I meet you in the...shuttle bay?

[He bows to her once more, mis-matched eyes gleaming.] I would be delighted for your company. Twenty or so minutes?

Very well. [She shuts off the feed and makes a few preparations - a Queen must look her best. Then she walks to the shuttle bay, which is mercifully easy to find despite the oddities of the ship. He will find her examining the shuttles curiously, opening doors and hatches as she tries to determine their make.]

[Tyrion himself makes sure that his blonde curls are bound back from his face and that he is wearing real clothes and not the smocks they have been provided. Beard trimmed, sober and caffienated, he flies over the shuttle over with a little bit of flair, and lands almost smugly.

...and of course she is looking at the shuttles and not his perfect landing. He smirks, and hops out of the seat, hobbling over to join her after he closes his own shuttle.]

Inspecting your domain, your Majesty?

[She hears his shuttle land, at least, and she glances over her shoulder before returning to her curious inspections. Everything is so foreign - even down to the tiniest elements - and she lets her fingers pass over the hull of one shuttle in wonder. What sort of metal is this? How can it withstand flying through the stars?]

I know so little of this domain. That does not stand me in good stead to rule it.

[Finally she turns to greet him, smiling.]

You look well.

[Tyrion watched her as she took in the shuttle, knowing that her violet eyes were tracking far more than people would realize from this pale young woman.]

You will learn, and you will learn fast.

[Complete and utter confidence. She would grasp it all much faster than most.]

Thank you ... [a swirling bow, with a warm smile.] As do you, my Queen.
