It's a location explicitly stated to have restricted access on deck 4. The story is that there's a chance those who go in, don't come out. I don't know of many who've gone since I arrived, so I can't tell you how accurate that is.

Maybe with a blaster on my hip.
What's the appeal to you, outside flipping fate the bird?
[He's not the adrenaline junkie Jak is and it sounds like a fine way to waste one of your nine lives. Or...how many you're awarded as a passenger of the Elegante.]

[She hears you; she hears you.]
It's not like that. I'm not trying to "one-up" her.
On the off chance that there's something of value, especially in the case that it might just get you back home it should be checked out thoroughly. You're a soldier, you know how these things work, Commander.

Was a soldier, sweetheart.
[--hoshit did he say that outloud? Oopsie.]
I'm just reminding someone to do her research before diving headfirst into hostile territory.
[Not that it's like you to take people at their word. Always gotta go see for yourself and confirm it. He can't argue with that--he's biting his tongue over whether or not he should assert that there's nothing in there to find. That'd just make him sound scared.]

[He can't see it, but she feels a little mixed about that. To some degree, Torn's still a soldier in her eyes. Whether he is or isn't doesn't make a difference. He still understands where she's coming from, the need to investigate, the need to jump into things like that -- even if it's for something as petty as being pissed off.]
You're schooling me.
[Naturally she'd jump on this and tell him what he can school her in really, but somehow that's not high on her list of priorities, mostly because she's still sore. Battle wounds don't go away very easily apparently.]

......
[For a time she doesn't say anything, because she doesn't know what to say. He gets like this and while it makes her wish she could second guess, she already knows what she's going to do. Stubborn little thing she is.
He's pretty dedicated. Committed. Has she seen it before? Ashe thought it was because of their partnership only. Is it something more than that? More than their heated moment of passion? She still hasn't told him. She might not ever.
Finally she softens her tone. She doesn't need to, but she will.]

[He almost feels bad for making a fuss. Almost. A part of him would still be vindicated by the fact getting her to changer her mind would keep her safe.

Somehow I expected that.
The other me went. She didn't leave any information behind about it, though. Anything that thinks it can take me down so easily will be disappointed.
[That's maybe half of it. Ashelin's not about to go into the other half.]

[Can you heeeear him shaking his head at you?]
Danger may mean something worth protecting...but here, it could just mean danger. Figure out which one it is before you head off.
[Just to be sure. He doesn't want her going, but he knows better than to outright say it.]

If I'm wrong--
[She hates being wrong.]
Nothing's going to happen to me.

I'm concerned about this 'mission'.

Torn.
I'm not going to just leave you on your own.

[He's intelligence and strategy with some spying thrown in. He's not one for field work. This sounds out of his league.]

[She's talking about the boat, dummy.]

I'm saying that's why I'm concerned.
[They're partners; he only trust those he sends to her to guard her life effectively, and even then, he'd much rather do it himself.
Someone mentioned Jak, who he's trusted Ashelin to before. He'd be alright with the kid being there, he guesses.]

You've gotta have expectations. Lets hear 'em.

[Of what? Her mind is traveling off in five different directions. Pick one.]
