the jig is up, the news is out
Who: Renegade and Batman. Later, Costigan.
What: A confrontation
When: FORWARD DATED TO DAY FOUR, after Nygma is caught by Tim, nearing the end of the flood.
Where: The engine room.
Warnings: Violence and death.
Nygma had been caught, the flood or whatever it was wasn't ending, Tim was on to him, and Dick was getting a little desperate. They all needed to get out of here, or get things back to normal, or whatever the hell would fix this problem, and he was running out of options.
Then it occured to him. Jim had said he'd been able to access the bridge once. If someone was able to get control or hack the system or turn the goddamn ship around or something, he might be able to find a way out of here.
It was desperate. It was potentially extremely stupid. And it was definitely incredibly dangerous. But he had to do something.
He'd gotten into the engine room - it seemed like the logical place for the bridge to be hiding, even if Rex hadn't been able to get to it when he'd taken over the Barge - without a huge amount of trouble. Pretending to be his counterpart hadn't been hard, especially after the information Costigan had given him and what he'd been able to study on the network, not to mention his past time as Renegade, but he knew it was only a matter of time before someone caught on, and he knew Tim already had. He had to work quickly.
Unfortunately, he was basically shooting in the dark. He'd never had a chance to study the engines on the Barge before, and he had no idea where the bridge would be hidden, especially given he was pretty sure Harper, Tosh and Trip had no idea where it was. So, he carefully moved around the room, running his hands over casings and the walls, feeling for grooves or ridges or anything to suggest a secret access panel.
He'd closed the door, but by the time he'd finally pulled a panel off to start investigating the wiring, he had his back to it, only half focused on the door as he started poking around the wires and cables.
[ooc: Sorry to post this so early! We're both still planning on tagging around with/doing stuff with Dick and Tim, but wanted to get this out there before RL ate us. xD
We've got mod permission to access the engine room, and Ang/Costigan has dibs on finding the body, and feel free to jump in at the end if you want to thread it happening. <3]
