D --> User D --> Executioner Darkleer D --> Helmsman, you are currently on an alien planet and out of contact with the Alternian fleet D --> You are to report to the highest ranking adult troll immediately for instructions D --> That role currently falls to me until circumstances change D --> Do you understand, Helmsman?
[The chances of this working are slim to none... But it's clear that, right now, none of the other 'kinder' methods are working.]
[Biowiring... That could be tricky. Aggravating. If the others try to mess around with that, they could cause more damage than help.]
D --> Understood. D --> Describe the area you are in over a private feed, Helmsman. D --> Your communication device has a video function. D --> You may use that if you wish.
[ And it clicks over to video, briefly. Shaky, unclear, but he's within sight of the plaza area, though he clearly managed to abscond to be out of the way.
Could he have provided a better response? Absolutely, but a guy's got to get his defiance in where he can. ]

[Fortunately, Darkleer doesn't particularly care about that outside of if that small bit of defiance puts the psionic in worst condition. ]
D --> I will be there shortly.
[That's all he says before he quietly absconds from the hive he shares with the two younger trolls and makes his way to the plaza... Well, not as quickly as possible.]
[In fact, he almost turns right back around at least several times because this is stupid, what is he doing. But he does arrive as soon as he can, already carefully searching for the Helmsman. If he's judging the angle of the camera right, then...]
[ Tucked out of the way, the Helmsman waits. He's pulled in on himself, an emaciated mess. There are still indications of those alarming tyrian wires dangling here and there.
He's just so tired, it's obvious in how faint the glow of his eyes was. Eyes that are presently fixated on his SFC as he tries to make sense of the jumble of data. The fact that he's fairly sure none of this is happening to begin with only makes it more alarming.
So why did he have to listen to orders if they were all figments of his mind?

[Bile rises up in his throat when he finally finds the yellow-blood, but Darkleer forces it back down again. Detached. He is detached from all of this. Engineer, not troll, that's what he has to be right now.]
[Without another word, he strides over to the other and draws himself into a crouch for easier access. Despite his STRENGTH and how large his hands are, they are surprisingly delicate and careful- moreso than he usually must be- as he begins to move the other about, inspecting the damage that has been done.]
[Detached. Engineer. He can do this. And for right now, until he can see just how exactly those wires are hooked up and how deep they go, he won't touch them.]
[ The Helmsman takes his time in looking at Darkleer in the absence of the command to do so. He lets the SFC fall from his hands, allowing himself to be moved about as the other troll requires. His heart is clearly beating much too fast, he feels like a terrified flapbeast despite the impassivity of his expression. But he's not horribly injured, the only good thing to come out of any of this.
He's just like he ought to be, broken and obedient in the face of his betters. No indications of the fact that he'd tried to take advantage of his own programming and the increasingly bizarre trolls he'd communicated with in hopes of marshaling some last ditch effort of defiance. This was his hallucination, after all.
And when he speaks, it's in a painfully soft voice:] What are your orderth?
[Because yes, that is what this situation definitely needs! More giant highbloods. At least this one is as kind as kind can be. Gamzee drops into a crouch behind Darkleer, peering over his shoulder at the Helmsman with great worry in his eyes, though he knows better than to touch shit.]
Motherfucker all be looking like shit. You tell me what to do, aight? I'll fuckin' help.

[What are his orders? It's tempting to say 'shut up and let me do my work'. He doesn't want to be reminded of who this troll truly is, of the things that happened. Just leave him to his task.]
[Before he can answer, however, he's aware of the other troll approaching from behind. Despite the fact that he thinks he knows Gamzee better than that, he still can't help but be a little nervous and jumpy by habit. A good troll knows that you hardly let another be behind you, and Gamzee's appearance is still something he hasn't gotten used to.]
As you wish, sir. Bioware of this nature is not my particular area of expertise, you must understand. [Letting go of the Helmsman, Darkleer clasps his hands together and presses them against his mouth in thought.] It can be very complicated, and is utterly invasive both physically and mentally
