[Arthur's new and improved communicator is sitting in his cabin after his old one got destroyed by a tornado in the CES, taking a nice shot of his... door. There's no Arthur in sight. This plays for about a minute, then there's a thud and Arthur swings the door open. He's looking... like he just survived a zombie apocalypse. His clothes are

Not much. [This isn't video though, or else Arthur would be able to see the cuts around his eyes and the bruising, scrapes and scratches everywhere else. He sounds tired as hell.]

Private

[paradoxlol]

Not much? What'd you get up to while I was out?

Private

[He's... kind of feeling a bit awkward about telling Arthur that he was actually good and tried to help people out. So instead:] I didn't make a deal with that sonofabitch like some people did.

Private

[paradoxlol]

Smart move. Something tells me he wouldn't have followed through.

Private

[hatestriangles]

What tipped you off?

Private

[paradoxlol]

[DEADPAN:] The tornado in the CES.

So, what'd you do?

Private

[hatestriangles]

I tried to get a chance to punch that asshole in the face. It didn't really work out.

Private

[paradoxlol]

From what I hear, nobody got to punch him. He ran away when a group confronted him.

Private

[hatestriangles]

You kidding me? Well, that's fucking anticlimactic.

Private

[paradoxlol]

Yeah, tell me about it. So I don't know if he's gone for good or what we can do to keep him from coming back.

Private

[hatestriangles]

The real Admiral saying anything?

Private

[paradoxlol]

Aside from the brief announcement? No. Personally, I don't like relying on him for security.

Private

[hatestriangles]

Nah, not what I meant. I was wondering if this month of bullshit had actually got him to deign to let the people on the ship in on what he's thinking.
