Broadcast

[The frowning face of Kolivan appears on the screen. He looks generally unhappy but anyone who knows him is aware that this is literally just his default expression. There's nothing unusual to see here.]

It would appear that the captain of the Goldstone has departed this fleet. I am Kolivan, its new captain. Should you have questions then you can bring them to me.

[A pause and then...]

Members of my crew. I want reports for your stations by the end of the day. There is no First Mate on this ship so I will take them.

[And that's the end. He just ends the transmission there.]


Goldstone

[Kolivan can be found taking note of what the ship has and what it requires in terms of supplies. It's really impossible to miss him honestly. Being the towering figure he is and the way he needs to bend down to move through halls and doors... Well, it's basically not going to be hard to find him or run into him.

Just please don't do so literally. He's very solid and it will hurt.

But this is your new captain. Feel free to say hello.]

Comments

[samahl]

Small and yet surprisingly resourceful.

We'll figure out a way to get you something comfortable to sleep on.

[knowledgeordeath]

It's unlikely that I will stop the pair of you so I you may do as you please.

[samahl]

That's right. You are doomed to us trying to get you to relax and feel comfortable.

[knowledgeordeath]

...Wonderful.

[He's not nearly as annoyed by this as he seems, Cyril.]

[samahl]

You know, though, you could always stop it. You just have to say stop and as with all things, I'll stop.

[knowledgeordeath]

Yes. I am aware of this fact.

[Yet here they are. And here he is not saying no.]

[samahl]

And the same goes for me too. Considering you could probably break me in half, knowing there's equal control is nice.

[knowledgeordeath]

There is intrigue to be found in power but not if it actually causes true harm to another.

[samahl]

And there's an appeal to knowing that you could hurt me and yet don't. That makes me feel strong too.

[He chuckles lightly.] Now just imagine that but way more intense if I ever get to have my way with you.

[knowledgeordeath]

[And he stares at him.]

I'm not well known for being imaginative.

[samahl]

Kolivan... [Cyril begins, because he has to take a moment to adjust. He chuckles lightly.]

You saying things like that feels like an invitation for me to share my deepest fantasies with you.

[knowledgeordeath]

....

[He has no idea why that is...]

If you wish to then I would prefer such a discussion be in private.

[samahl]

It would be quite scandalous otherwise, that's true.

[knowledgeordeath]

I just feel this is something best discussed in privacy. Others don't need to be aware of that part of our lives.

[Even if it's only discussion right now.]

[samahl]

I shall save it for when I'm your pilot then.

[knowledgeordeath]

Very well. We will have this discussion at that time.

[samahl]

I'll request a transfer today. I'm sure you'll know when it's approved.

[knowledgeordeath]

I will. We will see where your quarters will be when you arrive.

[samahl]

Any chance they can be close to yours? [He doesn't mean that seriously, but he imagines Kolivan will take it that way. He's in no hurry to clarify though.]

[knowledgeordeath]

That is unclear. We will see when you arrive here.

[Little does he know that his player will make it so.]

[samahl]

All right. I'll go put the request in. For now, I should leave you to settle into your Captian-ly duties?

[knowledgeordeath]

Very well. I will see you when your transfer goes through then.
