I'd accepted a long time ago that there are some things about this place we'll probably never fully understand based on the science available to us, but it's too bad that even after an incident like that, we still don't understand how this place actually works. Not surprising, but disappointing.

... There are far worse things than being stuck in space for three days.

[Infirmary Filter]

If there's any way I can help in the wake of what happened, I'd like to offer my assistance.

[Private to Una]

Are you alright?

[Private to Olive]

I don't really want to push the issue now that the crisis is over, but I still think you should look into some self defense lessons if you're planning on staying here.

And I want a weapon.

... We probably need to talk about some other things, too.

Careful, you're starting to sound like a warden.

[But for that little laugh she is sobering pretty quickly.] Okay. I'll ask the Admiral for a pair of guns. If, uh. You'll show me how to use it.

[That... is a weird thought but hey.]

You should probably start with something more basic. I can teach you how to defend yourself if someone grabs you?

[cccccccccc:]

Oh thank God Yes. That sounds perfect.

Let me know when you want to start.

We still don't even know exactly how that clown got on board and managed to take the Admiral's place.

Exactly.

It's frustrating, but I wouldn't even know where to start. The Admiral isn't going to explain it.

Maybe he's worried someone else would be able to exploit whatever weakness Flagg did.

But surely there's someone here he can trust with his security? He clearly needs something better than what he's got right now.

He obviously doesn't trust any of us with anything actually important. Why would that change now?

I don't know. I guess maybe I just have optimism that he would see reason, eventually.

If it hasn't done it at this point, I'm not sure why he ever would.

You're probably right.

We could start investigating!

Do you think we'd actually find anything?

Well, we're sure not to find anything if we don't look.

Point.

Where would you start? [He's bored and has nothing better to do. :V]

The engine room, if we're allowed inside. I can't pretend to know anything about ships, but we can certainly ask the crew about how they maintain it.

I know enough. But considering the nature of this place, I'm not sure if my knowledge would actually be relevant.

Took a bit of a beating in the CES, but I'll be all right.

How are you?

Fine. Olive and I were stuck in her room. Do you need anything?

I don't suppose either you or Olive know very much about cooking?

Not particularly. I could learn.

Well, Parker is out of commission and with my crap shoulder, I'm a little limited in the kitchen. Any help at all would be brilliant.

When?

Lunch shift, any time you can make it.

Far worse and far more painful. Heero, wasn't it?

Yes. [Which basically means yes why are you asking but. He is a robot. :V]
