[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.]

[passingthrough]

Well, I can't help you there, but are you doing okay?

[He twists something on the machine next to him, and looks up at her with a faint smile.]

Trying to keep our conversations private. So ... doing all right is relative.

[Encrypted Lock]

[passingthrough]

Mmhmm. Is this about the Marsiva canon or about a certain new arrival to the fleet?

[Encrypted Lock]

[tallasaking]

This is about the Marsiva ...

[And now his eyes are narrowing suspiciously.]

Who just arrived?

[Encrypted Lock]

[passingthrough]

You haven't seen? [It also wasn't long ago of course.] Daenerys. She's back. She doesn't remember being here before.

Re: [Encrypted Lock]

[tallasaking]

[Everything in Tyrion stills, before he pressed his lips together. A dry laugh escapes his lips.]

Of course she is. And of course she doesn't.

[Well, damn.]

All right. Hold on.

[switching channels.]

[She looks at hm curiously.] You know, I could just come over and you could worry about the encryption less. [Unless he wants to seek her out now which she'd understand.]

Re: [Encrypted Lock]

[tallasaking]

I ... [He is silent for a moment, before he sighs.] I would prefer your company now, if you are not currently busy.

[Encrypted Lock]

[passingthrough]

I've got nothing but time. I'll be right over. I'll find you.

What makes you think the information provided by the augments is going to give us proper security? [You're not the only one thinking about this stuff lately.]

You on the ship?

[sylphid]

so you're getting comms people to use their augment knowledge to try to keep things away from the thing that actually controls the augments?

not gonna work

Re: [Encrypted Lock]

[tallasaking]

All right...

All right good.

[Does he look a little shaken? Good because he feels shaken to his core.]

[tallasaking]

Because it's not based on my augments. It's based on the designs I got from the technology planet and those lovely horse like people...

[Is Tyrion's mutter.]

[cloakand_danger]

That's fine, but you're still asking for someone with a communications augment to help.

I'm not saying I won't, but are you sure about that?

[tallasaking]

If you have a better idea, you have my complete attention.

Luckily for you, I have just such a skillset.

Not sure how long it would keep their noses out of it, though.

[sylphid]

maybe not roping people into something that'll possibly backfire for everyone involved

Re: Video, encrypted

[tallasaking]

My dear sir, I am not sure of anything.

[Running his hand over his face.]

Not any more.

However, I am on the ship.

Re: text

[tallasaking]

Unless you have been completely blind in the time that you have been here, then you should realize that we are all involved, whether we want to be or not.

[tallasaking]

Oh thank the Gods, someone useful

[A faint snort.]

I just need to know if I can do it. If I can do it, I can duplicate it.

[Encrypted Lock]

[passingthrough]

I'll be there soon. Hang in there. [She hates to leave him when he looks like that, but she'll get there faster not on the comms. She'll hurry, but it will still be a few minutes before she arrives and makes her way to the engine room where she expect him to be.] Tyrion?

You forgot handsome and charming~

[He gives a soft hum of consideration. ]

It's worth a try, I suppose. Someone forbid I'm called out for not giving something a shot.

Re: [Encrypted Lock]

[tallasaking]

[He is sitting in his Engineering office, his jaw tight as he looks at the recorded feed of Daenrys.]

I suppose it was too much to ask that she would remember this.

[A sigh.] I suppose I should be happy she is here at all, shouldn't I?

Re: Video encrypted;

[tallasaking]

[The faintest of smiles.]

I could never forget those.

[An elegant shrug of his shoulders.]

If nothing else, we can say we tried it and it didn't blow up in our proverbial faces.

[Action]

[passingthrough]

[She'll just wordlessly slip her arms around him.] I fully understand feeling both things. [Because she'd be miserable and overjoyed if Winn returned without memories of her.]

How, um...how close had you gotten with her before she left?
