[There's the sound of rummaging for a little while before Christine speaks up, and when she does, she doesn't sound the slightest bit happy.]

No rings! Not a single ring! Well, no nice ones. Just dorure et verre! C'est une indignation!

[Some more rummaging and some less understandable mutters, then she starts ranting again, presumably more to herself ( Read more... )

Chase, could I have a word with you about something? It's rather important.

[/Locked]

Thom, are you feeling any better?

Oh, and if anyone would like some coffee, the coffee shop on deck 8 is open. I've been practicing making it, so it's quite good now.

[Transmission begins with an oddly annoyed and sarcastic Christine.]

Well, those of you who are in the league with Batou... I hope you're happy. You must be so proud of yourselves.

I feel I must congratulate you, though. You act your parts excellently. I doubt anyone would guess.

[The sound of mocking applause, and then the transmission times out.]
