[Tyrion turns on the small communication device in his engineer workshop, which is filled to the brim with organized piles of different parts he has scavenged, bought, traded, or just out-right sweet-talked people out of.]

In the matter of 'do we have a suitable amount of materials that are not precisely Atroma specifications onboard this little Fleet of Damnation', your answer can be Yes, Yes we do. With these parts I've constructed new shields for our beloved little First Breath, as well as one medium range laser cannon, set on a swivel port.

[He smirks, faintly.]

For our next possible incursion with ... less than friendly species. I am willing to work with other engineers to help shore up defenses, as it were, or make them myself, but I will require coin or materials to do so.

[A completely innocent smile.]

So what have all of YOU been up to, lately?

Locked to Jim, Kitty, Riona, and Crowley.

I have a gift for each of you. Come by and see me at Malum or in my lab, when you have the opportunity.

[Less weird, more ...tortured existence? He wasn't looking to going back to his world. He also wasn't looking to be the Atroma's lapdog either, so he would have to find that place inbetween.]

Hmm, oh, it is all botany. Fairly simple, once you know what you are doing. [Reading books and retaining knowledge, my friend.]

[The faintest smirk.] No, just a better family.

[Yeah, that's not his style. He just conjures up or transmutes the food he needs. But that takes a backseat to the family comment. Taako knows what it's like to have a shitty family. He still has them somewhere sure, but he gives absolutely 0 fucks about them since they never gave one for him.]

Mm, I feel you on that one. Minus the dungeons though, I guess? Because that sounds like you have me beat by a mile. [He notices the wine Tyrion pulled out and smirks.] Cheers to telling them to fuck right off, huh?

Cheers to that, my new friend. [Tyrion states serenely, as he pours them both a glass, into goblets he has here for just this purpose. He pushes one towards Taako, and pulls himself back on his seat, balancing the wine easily so he can sip it with his meal.]

I have come to believe you make better families than you are born into.

[Taako takes the wine and leans against the countertop on his arms. He raises the glass to Tyrion with a grateful incline of his head.

And has to think - has he been making a better family? He certainly hasn't been thinking of them as such in case an event exactly like this happens: they're all gone. It's easier to think of them just as work friends than as people he actually cares about and actively, sorely misses. So Taako just smiles and nods and pretends.]

Oh most def. At least then you can choose not to have any fashion disasters related to you.

[He took the glass and raised it in salute, before digging in once more into food. Delicious food of all kinds.]

...I can honestly say I do not know any fashion disasters.

I, unfortunately, know one massive one and one that may still be saved.

[He sighs as he thinks of Merle's hippy beach hobo aesthetic. It works on the dwarf, but that's more due to his personality than the actual fashion.]

But there must be some here on the Fleet. I saw those ugly jumpsuits they give us when we first arrive.

Well yes, but those are not our doing. Those are forced upon us by cruel, cruel overlords of fate and idiot packages.

[Tyrion intone solemnly.]

Have you seen them?

[He's heard that some people have seen their new "overlords" after they offed the last pair. It makes Taako curious. The important thing about survival is knowing as much as you can about the situation so you can manipulate it to your advantage.]

The fate and idiot overlords.

I have seen ... a few of them, but never in person. That is an honor they have yet to ... bless us with.

[So there's no way to know if they have real physical bodies then. Bummer. Taako was hoping to get a good old fashioned Magic Missle or a Banishment in on them.

He sighs dramatically and shrugs.]

Of course. Ethereal kidnappers are never nice enough to actually show up where you can murder them properly and get your revenge. What a bummer.
