✈️ 1st Crash 💥 [Video and Action]
Who: You!... and Flug Slys who doesn't want to be included
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Aboard the Marsiva and Aboard SS Red Ship after shuffle
When: Before and After the Shuffle
[Video and Action [Aboard the Marsiva]
[Don’t you just hate it when the camera turns on by accident, only to catch some random object instead of a person? It appears that today the fleet cameras have decided to capture video of this random paper bag, talk about a waste of air-ti-- Oh, wait, no, it appears to be speaking. Evidently this is a person. Frankly, they look just about as flustered by the discovery.]
“OH— you have to be kidding me, THAT was the on button?! What kind of idiot wires a comm link l--”
[When it clips back on the man in the bag looks much more composed, he even organized the layout around him, attempting to make some form of a makeshift desk.]
“Greetings! I am Dr. Flug Slys, premiere Scientist and Evil Genius of Black Hat Organization!”
[Only to deflate immediately.]
“W-which you, uh, you no doubt know already i-if you bothered taking me in the first place, uh, erm…”
[He falters a moment, reaching off screen for something.] “I have to say, not many kidnappers are so forthcoming with information, so, thanks for that? Re-regarding what’s detailed here. I’m currently under contract to do another show at the moment —which I was in the middle of filming, actually— and am expressly forbidden to do business elsewhere. I’m afraid I can’t really offer my services.”
[So unfortunate for you, Atroma. It’s out of his hands, really!]
“There might also be some uh, l-liability issues employing a high caliber criminal like me? Eheh? So, I-if I could just be transferred to the nearest prison or security facility instead, I think that would be more beneficial.”
[What was a penitentiary compared to the anxiety-inducing torture of unwanted social interaction?]
“…Please??”
[Action] Aboard the SS Red Fish]
[Flug is no stranger to forced teleportation, whether it was due to conditions above the Marsiva or the simple reminder of why, the 'very scary, hardened' criminal arrives aboard the SS red Fish frozen mid-flinch, eyes dilated in abject terror.]
"Wh-- I was just--"
[And then the confetti bursts.]
"GAH!"
[As inevitably as all captives do, Flug eventually takes to wandering his new dwellings. The Engine Room and Lab area are given areas he might linger near but the decor, in particular, catches his interest; when he isn't working, you can find him examining those curious skull designs and what looks suspiciously like blood stains aboard the vessel.]

It's cool!
Really? Is it knowledge from home, or have you been to another place like the fleet before?
okay good <3 thanks
[But it doesn't answer why he knows this room's contents. Has he been here before? Processes sure, he could justify instinctively knowing, but not the piece's names.]
"I take it you've been running this room? Any prior experience?"
no subject
Not even a little. I applied for an augment upgrade and all the information was... I dunno the right word without it sounding creepy. Uploaded? I just knew how to run everything and do repairs.
no subject
“All because of the augment?”
[Sure, Flug had conducted the occasional experiment in artificial ways to boost learning but this was a far cry from stuffing a book into a villain that already had a mouth on top of their head. The Doctor couldn't help but shudder, growing ill at the mention of the device forcefully planted in his skull. Just knowing he had his bag removed, while too out of it to remember, felt violating in so many ways.]
“I-I had assumed they were a failsafe against rebelling captives. You mean they have another purpose?”
no subject
[ Moving onto the better functions of the thing.. ]
They give us information about things as they come up. That's why you knew what your assignment was, and your ship. It can be pretty handy. I didn't know any of this when I got here, but there's obviously bad shit that goes hand in hand with it, too.
no subject
[Flug muses. That would explain it. This is where the new data is being pumped into his already brilliant brain is coming from. It's rather clever, even if he hates to admit it. It... It's something he can use. He just has to remind himself of that. It's something he can use.]
"It makes sense from a production standpoint. Viewers don't want to watch someone learn how to rewire a converter or take classes to understand a console. They maximize on our entertainment value and airtime by being able to film us right away, with the knowledge we need, instead of taking a week to train us."
[He frowns slightly.]
"I only wonder if it isn't somehow a two-way connection."
