EVENT: SPACE PIRATES ▒ THE EMERGENCY SHUTTLE BAY & THE SCYLLA

[ataraxites]

CHARACTERS: Ensemble production!
LOCATION: The emergency shuttle bay & The Scylla
WARNINGS: Potential disturbing themes.
SUMMARY: Exploration and salvage of the Scylla and the emergency shuttle bay it's docked onto.
NOTES: April 28 onwards.

An emergency shuttle bay is found tucked away above the 50th passenger floor; holding only two transport shuttles and a network console, it contains the final evidence of the pirates' work. Here, large amounts of the equipment and items they looted from the Tranquility are piled up: some waiting, some already packed up into storage crates for transport onto the Scylla— and some, though not much, already stored away on board. How they came aboard is made clear now by the two holes cut through the metal of the hull-side wall— the openings connect to docking tubes, which provide an easy route onto the Scylla herself. On the wall above is a message left in red: MAKE IT QUICK... And with the jump fast approaching, it might be best to take heed...

lol thanks for deciphering my typos

[ clint's well versed in catching these things, seeing the shifts that other people might not always catch. it helps when you're shoot people with a bow from 10,000 feet away, but it also does wonders with making sense of the subtler things natasha does. ]

No, I don't suppose that would be great. [ understatement for both of their sakes. this topic could get heavier than both of them should be dealing with on a salvage mission out in the open. but he adds: ] Or get any easier the third time around.

[ she glances up from what she's doing to look at him. from where she's standing she can't quite catch his eye, but hers do focus on his face. there's an expression there he should be familiar with; it'd look blank to most, but he knows her enough to pick up on the emotion behind it. ]

No. Not really.

synonymous with ridiculous <33

Nothing like a few pirates trying to kill you to help make up for lost time.

[ he's kneeling down to put up a few odds and ends, interesting looking things on the floor. when he turns back to head over to her, he notices the look on her face. he'd like to say you won't get rid of me that easily but she had before. instead he lets the look he gives her right back do the talking for him, hint of a smirk on his face, and drops the collected items into her bag. he lingers a moment before moving on once more. ]

and wonderful <333

[ she holds that look for a moment before they both move on to look at the next object of interest. the tension feels like it's ebbed a bit; things still aren't exactly ideal and they still have things they need to discuss, but at least one of the elephants in the room have been addressed. ]

So. Where do you want to look next?
