[The scene is set, as it is usually set, in Tyrion's engineering laboratory aboard the SS First Breath. There are his weapons, some complete, some in stages of being put together. There are his terrariums, that are going strong with their varying greenery. Some are vegetables, others are flowers, some are just odd looking alien plants that Tyrion wanted to see if he could grow.

What Tyrion appears to be working on now, is a Very Fancy Looking Airmask. He is screwing a stronger air-filter into place, as he speaks to the camera.]

I do not suppose ... I could interest some people ... into coming down below with me? I can promise you better equipment than what they are offering, and for much less the going price.

[Mis-match eyes lift up, and he smirks.]

Let's just say I'm interested to know what makes this fog so very special.

A glass of wine, if you would be so kind? I would greatly appreciate it.

[Tyrion murmured distractedly, while he welded the last part into place carefully.]

...there. [He pulled up his goggles, and swept sweat from his brow.] That should do it.

[ The Bull obliges and brings the poured wine over to Tyrion as he finished up his welding. He has to admit, just looking at it? He's kind of impressed as he sets the glass down next to the man. ]

Doesn't look half bad, but will it keep the crazy mist out?

Well, that is why I am going to go down to the planet with Felix to test them. If we manage not to go completely insane, I'll know they work.

[Tyrion smirked, picking up his wine glass to take a long sip.]

All I can really do now is make sure that the seals hold. I will not know about the filtering material until I have tested it in the field.

Wait a minute.

[ He shakes his head. ]

You're going down there with one other guy and no back up plan?

No ... I am going down there with one other guy and a back-up plan.

[He gestures to Bull.]

You are my back-up plan.

[ The Bull laughs at that, because damn if that's wasn't good. He's not usually the one getting played. He's impressed. ]

Let be guess, that's my payment, right? For the mask? And what if mine goes bad? No. I'll kill somebody.

Bull. I am not letting anyone out in one of these masks - outside of Felix because he is an insane man with an absolutely incredible streak of survivalist behavior - and myself because I have the same. Once they are up to my standards, then I shall give them out to my friends.

[He is quite firm on this.]

If we go mad out there, you are to let the proper authorities know so they might be able to affect a rescue.

You mean so one of us can come find you. You've been listening to the locals, right? When people go out there and don't return, they don't return. There's no rescue party.

....I am now mentally reviewing the plan and deciding yes, after a certain point, if we have been gone that long, please come and rescue our foolish asses.

[And that just gets a hearty laugh from the Bull before he takes a sip from his drink.]

You got it, big guy. I'm pretty good at it.

[Tyrion grins up at him, waggles his eyebrows, and tweaks the mask a little more.]

Good. We shall probably need it. Here, try this on.

I really appreciate your confidence, Tyrion.

[He does take the mask from the guy, though, and takes a moment figure out exactly how it works before holding it to his face and wrapping it around the base of his horns.]

This is supposed to be an airtight fit, right?

Considering how little confidence I have in most people, you really should.

[Said with a completely straight face, as he poured himself a glass of wine and watched Bull.]

It is. Do you feel a draft?

I feel that.

[But's not a trusting guy either, even though he acts like it. He moves his head around pretty forcefully before taking the mask off.]

Can't see shit, but it'll do. Think back strap needs some tightening.
