Who: Looma Red Wind and you!
Broadcast: Video
Action: Anyone aboard the Bishop, the Iskaulit later on
When: 4/23 through 4/27
[Video 4/23]
[When the broadcast starts, it's immediately obvious there's something different about the Fleet's resident alien battle princess. And not just that she's not armor-clad, and instead she's actually wearing a set of normal clothes hastily modified to fit.
Instead, it's painfully obvious as she sits in the pilot's chair aboard the Bishop, she's somehow much, much smaller. Someone's augment was on the fritz, and while it had only shaved some seven years off her, boy what a difference those years made.]
Is this working?
[Don't mind her poking the camera- she's having to re-learn a lot of things, but at least she's not anywhere near as loud. Or angry. If anything, she could pass as downright amiable. She even clasps three of her hands together with a gleeful smile as she realizes her network device is indeed working properly.]
Wonderful! Now, I do not know where I am, but someone has granted me a ship! Unfortunately it appears to be broken. I have tried to maneuver to attack that other ship over there-
[And she'll turn her device to allow everyone to see out the viewport, where she can helpfully point out the Blue Fish, drifting along quite peacefully with its crew blissfully unaware that a pint-sized warlord had been attempting- in vain- to use them for target practice for the past several minutes. Strafing runs are a bit hard to perform when you can't even get the ship to move, after all.
Of course, with the visual assistance out of the way, she's quick to turn the camera back on herself.]
-but none of the controls appear to be responding! If there is an engineer listening, I would gladly compensate you for your assistance in solving this problem!
[Not that anyone could- her augment might be glitching, but she's still Security, not a Pilot. And, thankfully, the pilot's station does not allow her to play with the weapons...]
[Action][Post-broadcast through 4/27]
[Once she's been deterred from trying to start a space battle for fun, Looma's behavior is...well, it's an improvement in that she's much less confrontational, but she's certainly an intrusive and inquisitive little thing. Without her armor (and much of her bulk), she moves around surprisingly quietly and has a funny way of poking her nose into every little thing without warning. She's even got a habit of just silently watching people as they work, or just following them around to see what they're up to.
All of this is very new to her, and at this point- especially without any recollection of her time already spent in the fleet- she's never actually seen humans before. Or Elves. Or most anyone who isn't a Tetramand, for that matter.
Which probably explains why by the end of the week she's spent most of her time excitedly running about the Iskaulit to explore every last nook and cranny she can. One destination in particular seems to have become a quick favorite of hers: she may not like all the snow in the Fox Park, but she is incredibly fond of chasing the foxes around. In good fun of course- they're soft and too small to be worth hunting, so she's mostly just interested in playing with them. A close second is the Melting Pot- she despises the protein gel aboard her ship, so naturally she's drawn to the place with actual food.]

...Looma? Is that- is that you? Are you glitchi-
[And then he realises exactly what she's doing, and his confusion shifts to panic. ]
Whoah! Whoah. Don't attack us! Blue Fish are friends!!!
no subject
I am certain father will compensate you after! I just want to see what this ship is capable of!
[Oh but wait a minute, he knew her name. Weird. She's certain she's never seen him before. Don't mind her just... peering suspiciously at the camera, Sokka]
How do you know of me? I certainly do not recall seeing you around the palace.
[Or anyone the same species, really. What're you up to you creep]
no subject
[Oh noo, and now she's squinting at him. This is not going to go anywhere near well, he can tell already. ]
Okay, you're- it's complicated? But right now you don't remember me, but you'll meet me one day- future stuff, right? Weird, complicated future stuff. I'm Sokka.
no subject
[Suspicions growing, Sokka. And that completely absurd explanation isn't helping. Even if it is awful close to being just ridiculous enough to be true.]
In the future? So how does that explain now?
no subject
[So neyh, missy miss. ]
Because this place is complicated. It's better to not think about it.
voice
no subject
[Is it still attempted murder if it's just playing? Probably. Thankfully she's at the wrong console to do any real damage.]
Besides- what else is there to shoot at?
action
He has to do a double take, it's such a strong change. Of course, he's seen glitches before but Looma. He had no idea you were so...small. She's practically the size of a normal human.
He clears his throat, hoping that it will be enough.]
Captain...Looma? When did- [He sighs.] This is just what I needed.
no subject
What are those? And why do they have blades?
[Normally she'd be all in favor of apparel with built-in weaponry, but this seems... impractical.]
no subject
Ice skates. I helped build the rink on the Iskaulit and I test it's mettle every day. [He doesn't want to leave her alone when she's clearly not remembering anything. Looma could end up in some serious trouble like that.] The knives on the bottom cut into the ice. That's how you move.
no subject
You move with KNIVES?!
[Yes this is essentially The Most Important Discovery Ever, and Mantis is clearly worthy of the utmost admiration for introducing it to her]
Teach me at once!
[She may be smaller- okay, much smaller- but disappoint her at your peril, Mantis]
no subject
He wants to laugh at the unbridled enthusiasm, but it's also endearing.]
I'm going to the Iskaulit right now. Come with me, and I'll show you what I learned about how to ice skate.
[In part because the ship is big enough she can't do too much damage. Right? Right.]
