[IT'S THE TIME OF YEAR TO THINK OF FAMILY, RIGHT?? Scott had found something in his pocket earleir that he'd apparently taken with him upon arriving here. He decided to show all of Sacrosanct, assuming they'd, you know, actually care. In the video now, he's just sitting on his barrack's bed, his tactical vest off so you can see his undershirt and

WHAT'S WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS.

Text; Encrypt. 100%

[By the way, Scott's new to this encryption thing, so he'll be taking a good, oh, 5 minutes to figure out how to respond with the little

[CT can see this and is cleaning up any missteps, for her own safety rather than his.]

THAT'S BECAUSE THEY AREN'T FUCKING STUPID.

[It dawns on Lt. Scott, hmm, maybe this is another one of those people who's all "It's classified B|" like Thom was when he first came here. So he decides to explain his self another way. He also has probably given up learning to encrypt, btw. So it's good you fixed it for him.]

Oh, it's not for intel. I was just wondering. I'm, you know...the kind of guy who wants to know. To get to know you.

[He means "get to know people", but I'm giving him the wrong word on purpose.]

[notafuckingkid]

[It's unfortunately the wrong choice, as it sets off her paranoia. Not that that takes much. She hones in on that "you" and defaults to being defensive.]

STOP FISHING FOR INFORMATION.

[cloverdaleboy]

All right, all right. I won't pry. [He's tempted to be like ARE YOU A SPY? but he's going to pick the wiser choice this time around]

[notafuckingkid]

[And because that in itself isn't good enough,] I MEAN IT.

[cloverdaleboy]

[Well, now she's just making him even more curious, so here it goes. He's made mistakes before, and since he's (hopefully) a good ways away from her, he has the chance to run if needs be.]

Are you a spy?

[I'm assuming she's not in her suit (via avatar), otherwise he'd understand her secrecy. Damn Spartans.]

[notafuckingkid]

[She essentially ditched her armor as soon as she heard York's voice, but she's not about to just throw away millions of dollars in useful equipment, so she's in the process of dismantling it slowly. Regardless, when she does leave her temporary quarters, it's not in the armor.]

I SAID STOP IT.

[cloverdaleboy]

Okay, okay, I won't. I just had to ask since you seem pretty secretive, even though I don't think kids could be something someone could use against you.

[Why yes, Scott enjoys digging himself into his own grave. At least on the show he's from, he's done it more than once.]

[notafuckingkid]

YEAH? HERE'S A WORD OF ADVICE: ANYTHING CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU.

[Shitshitshitshitshit.] THAT'S MORE THAN YOU NEED TO KNOW.

[cloverdaleboy]

[Ding! Scott's little eyebrow raises up a little, though you can't see. So now he knows a little more about her, all right. Not exactly on the kid subject, but this seems promising. He'll just back off for now. She seems way too paranoid to be good.]

I believe it. My home planet's government can be like that. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone your secret.

[Not that he's completely figured it out yet.]

[notafuckingkid]

[CT can't help but feel boxed in with the mention of a secret and begins to panic. She needs to move, she needs to run, get out.]

I DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING SECRET AND IF I DID I WOULDN'T TELL YOU. [She's also the most subtle. Ever.]

[cloverdaleboy]

I definitely believe you.

[notafuckingkid]

[CT's not sure if he's mocking her or being serious. ]

JUST SHUT UP.
