The ship has been invaded by pirates. They're noisy on the network, but you haven't seen any, not in person. Though if you go far enough things start to make themselves apparent. Kitchens have been ransacked. Pieces of the walls are torn out, media libraries overturned. Maybe you should get your valuables together and find somewhere safe to hole up... |

"Yes, sir! Helping with the supply runs for people stuck in the Oxygen Gardens! I'm afraid I've never really been patient enough for standing guard for long stretches of time, and going on supply runs gives me the chance to get out and look around. Keep an eye out for any trouble that might be happening, yes?"
A pause, before his voice gained a slight edge of concern and he gave a small cant of the head. "-- please do watch out though, Mister AM? It seems like the pirates have already ransacked a few places. It would be awful to hear you'd been hurt by them."
no subject
"Right, you're one of the security members." Something that AM forgot at times, since Soysauce didn't seem like the type at all. But then again, "security" was probably just another word for "trigger happy." Something that most humans were.
"I'm sure I'll be just fine, my dear Soysauce," he assured, once more leaning against the wall in an almost casual manner. "The pirates seem rather cowardly, wouldn't you think?"
no subject
And when AM so easily dismissed the threat of those pirates, Soysauce gave a small blink before canting his head. Huming thoughtfully for a moment before speaking, sounding a bit more serious than usual.
"Cowardly, yes. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be feared. I think it's quite usual for an attacking group to be tentative at first. Desert raiders -- would do the same. Sending out scouts to assess the enemy and observe the territory, snatch up easy targets first before making a more aggressive move. Just because the pirates have been avoiding confrontation thus far -- doesn't mean they're weak, I think." A small nod to punctuate his words as he looked back up to AM. "So -- please be careful. Are you at least armed, sir?"
no subject
"Of course. I am aware of most fighting strategies." He scowled slightly for a brief moment, until he closed his yes and gave a short laugh. "But of course, it was silly of me to call them cowards. I suppose I underestimate people too easily."
He didn't have a gun, unfortunately, but he had a knife and a cattle prod. AM certainly wished he had a gun, as he would feel safer that way, but as is he had to make do. "Ah... I do have weapons, yes."
no subject
"Ah, well. Always good to have a method of self-defense, isn't it?" Soysauce rubbed distractedly at the back of his neck as he gave a lame laugh. Wondering at the back of his mind if maybe -- he should lend AM the security-assigned gun he's carrying. And he looked up at AM a little shyly before speaking up once more, his tone of voice playful and affectionate.
"Though, please don't be afraid to give a shout if you're ever in danger and I'm anywhere near, yes? Not only because it's my job -- but I'd hate to have anything happen to a friend!"
no subject
So to ease the situation, he smiled softly. "Thank you. I appreciate it. I'm sure I'll be just fine."
He paused then, his smile turning slightly coy as his eyes narrowed. "I'd hate to see anything happen to you either."
no subject
An energetic little laugh as he made a gallant pose, one arm swept out wide and the other pressed to his chest.
"-- you underestimate me, sir! Though I may appear to be naught but a humble musician, I'm quite the force to reckon with on the battlefield! A swift gunman, with eyes like a hawk. Unlikely that a mere pirate would be able to lay even a finger on me!" He spoke grandly, and though he was mostly exaggerating -- there was a certain element of sincerity and pride to his voice.
no subject
"My... You certainly don't look to be the violent type." AM had probably commented on this before; he couldn't remember. Not that he was surprised, but AM was truthfully curious to see that side to Soysauce - the violent side. He saw a smidgen of it during that Other World fiasco a few months ago...
"But if you say you can handle yourself... I'm sure you can." He smiled, silently laughing to himself. "But it won't stop me from worrying about someone I care about."
