27th Command // Audio :: Common

[nottheaveragekg]

You are kidding me.

I've got more important things to do than to be stuck here.
This isn't a part of the Baron's orders. I demand to know who's in charge.

[Younger Ashe is about sixteen and not happy. You can get a glimpse of her very unamused face on the top deck as she tries to figure out why the hell she's on a boat.]

[erhabenheit]

That'd be me, I'm in charge.

[nottheaveragekg]

Who gave you the orders to move the KG patrols from Haven's sectors onto this ship?

[erhabenheit]

Nobody gave me orders, I commandeered your unit and will continue to do so until it's safe to launch an assault on Haven.

[nottheaveragekg]

Like hell. The KG would never be used against Haven. No one commands the Krimzon Guard except Baron Praxis.

[erhabenheit]

Oh ho, you act like you have a choice. No no, I'm going to brainwash you and make you fight for me. [Well, it's clear he's not taking this seriously anymore.]

[nottheaveragekg]

[Yeah. She gets this. Damn, the people on this ship are obnoxious.]

If you don't have anything useful to say, stop wasting my time.

[erhabenheit]

Well it's not like you have anything useful to say either.

I don't want to explain over the comms; it's sensitive intel. Where are you.

[nottheaveragekg]

[He's set up her guard.]

Right. You say this and that about invading Haven, serious or not, and then you want to meet with me. Like that doesn't have the word "trap" written all over it.

[erhabenheit]

You know, I don't see anybody else volunteering any information. But hey, it's no skin off my ass. Have a nice day.

[nottheaveragekg]

Volunteering information. People don't volunteer unless they want something in return.

[He's got a point, though.]

Where'd you want to meet?

[erhabenheit]

[Hmmm...he could say Carnival, but...] Don't care.

[nottheaveragekg]

I'm on the top deck. It's a neutral place.

[Given that she knows nothing about the ship.]

[erhabenheit]

[Top deck's no better or worse than any other godforsaken place on the ship.

So up there he treks. ...doesn't know what she looks like though, so he's going to assume this single person by the guard rails is her.]

[nottheaveragekg]

[Yup. The single person by the guard rail is her. Good guess! And she'll assume the guy approaching her is the guy who's got this valuable information.

She rubs her hands together, just in case she has to be prepared. No gun, after all.]

So what have you got for me?

[erhabenheit]

[He folds his arms.] You've either been knocked out and dropped on this ship or magically transported here by some godlike creature who isn't godlike and just operates on a different level of physics than the rest of us. You can't fight, you can't do jack without so much as getting permission, all you can do is wander around and wonder how the hell this ship restocks its shit.

If you want to talk to a crew member or the Captain, good luck.

In a few days you'll more than likely either forget all this happened, or you'll remember and think, "God, my hair looked like shit back then."

[nottheaveragekg]

[That's a lot of information, and it's good. Ashelin's very attentive as he speaks, leans against the railing and about halfway through, she begins to relax. Yeah, if he wanted to do anything to her, he would have done it already. Obviously he doesn't.

And the fighting without permission's a no-no, which means she has to learn tact. Hard lesson number one.]

I'll forget it all happened, which means what, exactly?
