Log: Entering the 'find out' phase

CHARACTERS: It's a party, everyone's welcome!
TIME: 8/11/2524, immediately after the latest Status Report and for a few days after that
LOCATION: JAIL (the ship's brig, down at the very front of the ship) -- network text options also available!
WARNINGS: Talk of attempted murder, both past and potentially future


Given the ongoing operational crisis, there are three courses of action that may be considered; indefinite confinement (resource-intensive), re-initiation of cryo sleep (inefficient due to crew size), or psychological evaluation with restricted access and monitoring (most efficient course).

Final determination will be made by the Security Division.


From his cell, Wolfwood reads and rereads L3TH3's message over and over again. It's better than he'd been expecting, but he'd resigned himself to being put back into cold storage and only seeing daylight again at his court-martial. Now it's sounding like he's going to be allowed to remain part of the crew -- so long as those assholes in Security agree -- but with monitoring, and psychological evaluation.

Even clenching his hands into fists doesn't stop the shaking. He can't bring himself to regret what he did -- especially not after learning the miserable state the captain's in -- but if he'd known that the punishment for his actions would be a short leash at a doctor's whim? He might have made different choices.

Signing up for this mission might have been a mistake.

Yeah, mistakes were made clearly. Zaeed wasn't going to argue with that. The door opened into the brig and put the food on the platter to be sent in to him before leaning against the wall opposite his cell.

"I see my favorite inmate's still here." He snorted. "I put my peace in. The others can send theirs and we'll see what the consensus is. Engines are holding for now." Wolfwood had been concerned about that.
anesthetic_rage: (I will get the hang of this.)

He just sighed at the silent treatment. Yeah, that was about what he expected. Zaeed grunted and folded his arms. No point that getting out of this nebula wasn't going to be immediate. It was making him nervous. "Vash was asking about you. Told him he could stop by and I'd let him in if he gets a moment free." He lifted off and turned towards the door. "There's a shrink who woke up, so they'll probably be checking in on you soon enough, one way or another."

He reached for the door, considered for a moment and then grunted again. "Don't hunger strike. Eat, dumbass." The door opened and he stepped out before letting it close behind him.

[ makima voted on pre-verdict evaluation. firstly, to buy time. secondly, to ensure that nothing is done under emotional and personal judgement rather than pure rational and the complexities (but factual) of science. once to his cell, makima stands in fron of it, white coat swinging with the grace of her fluid momentum. ]

Nicholas? Hello, [ her pointed ears poke out from the curtains of her auburn hair, and it becomes more prominent when she secures it all into a bun. ] I'm Makima.

[she waits for his response before proceeding with anything else, but he may feel it. golden eyes hardly stray away from him now. he's already being evaluated. every inch of him and his actions and reactions. ]

We haven't met yet.

[ only to evaluate brings more tension to the table. she'd rather make it as comfortable as possible, even when there's little to none. ]

For protocol, yes— But think of it as a talk between crewmates.

[ she only has her tablet, specks, and smile. after giving the man a good look over, she gestures to the front of his cell. ]

I know it's not the most comfortable, but would you sit with me if I sat on the ground?

The more efficiently this goes, the faster you'll be back out here.

[ she sees bits and pieces of her puzzle already creating a map, just by how he carries himself, how he speaks, his body language and compliancy. there's something in her eyes as she welcomes him, combined with that smile— like a vixen with her eyes on a prize no one shall take from her. she's already decided, deep down. she has a feeling she knows what has happened. she's full of herself like any elheen raised to guide the hand of the human race who know so much less than they do.

if he did what he did to secure the rest of the crew, then she will set him free. she agrees. she'd do the same.

but that's jumping a few guns, isn't it? she can't exactly say any of that without compromising her professional stance (even though she overlooks the safety of the crew as a whole greater than the individual ones). ]


I was asleep— So what happened? Through your eyes.

[ makima hardly blinks— which might be a little offputting, so she does remind herself to do so as she listens attentively. very attentively. her ears are all his, and her eyes watches for the story his mind. was he calm, or agitated? anxious body language?

none of that, to indicate mental illness. he hasn't left grooming and appearance too unattended, either. now, that lack of emotion in his tone . . . she wants to see more. ]


Mutiny?

[ purposely placed, that word. she wants a follow up, and tests for a reaction. ]

A few days ago, Hilbert would have had a completely different attitude towards the idea of Wolfwood killing the captain. It's horrible, it's futile, it's ridiculous, even if it would be better for the captain to pass on considering the horrible state he must be in, they at least need to keep him alive long enough to run tests and get blood samples.

But now...Hilbert remembers Renee Minkowski. His commanding officer for a mission that he can't place. His commanding officer who he left stranded in outer space with only half an hour of oxygen. She's dead. She has to be dead. Hilbert can't think of any other option where she wouldn't be dead.

So he killed his captain. Somehow. Though he's not sure when or where, he remembers this. And Wolfwood's attempted to do the same.

Yeah, Hilbert's a little less certain about that 'let's probably not kill the captain' of it all now.

So he makes his way down to the brig, pushing the door open, as he lightly remarks, "While I appreciate taking initiative, please talk with medical department before you attempt next murder. We might have rationale for keeping patient alive."

"I am general practitioner," Hilbert points out, his Russian accent making his deadpan tone sound even more deadpan. "Not psychologist. Personal recommendation is psychological evaluation and restricted access but at end of the day, Security has final say. So no, have not yet decided what to do."

Hilbert shrugs a little before idly continuing, "Mostly came for personal chit-chat. After all, we have only been defrosted a month before attempted treason? Congratulations. New record."

Though Hilbert may joke, his body language remains stiff. There's something about all of this that's rubbing him the wrong way, even if he won't admit it.
tarakan: (can't be helped)

[personal profile] tarakan 2024-11-12 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Attempted murder of the captain is dictionary definition of treason," Hilbert muses. Yes, it probably is a mercy. After all, the captain is probably horrifically suffering (if he was even alive to begin with—Hilbert isn't entirely sure if the captain is here or not to begin with.)

"I know you will probably say something like 'captain is suffering, attempted murder is a kindness.' But it is still attempted murder."
tarakan: (captain that's dumb)

[personal profile] tarakan 2024-11-13 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Hilbert remains calm. He remains still, arms crossed over his chest, scowl of an expression as he looks at Wolfwood. He'll let him pace, he'll let him grumble, he'll let him ramble before they get to something that might be a stopping point. At that point, Hilbert dryly asks,

"Are you finished?"

And assuming he is, Hilbert continues with, "Did you know command protocols are broken? AI is unable to designate any one of us as command staff. I asked, tried to learn more, ended up with AI in error loop. What do you think will happen when you kill only person on ship who has that designation?"

Hello, Wolfwood!

[ One blonde disaster, coming over to the Brig with his hands full of coffee and a public CL-10. Vash looks... well, he looks a lot better. Like a guy that has had at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, three meals a day and regular showers. ]

I got you coffee, and a tablet full of movies and books in case you didn't have access to that. I checked it with security first.

[ He puts one of the coffees and the tablet in a hole next to the cell, and it switches over to Wolfwood's side. ]

How are you doing?
plantussy: (maple)

[personal profile] plantussy 2024-11-10 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Vash is pretty relieved to see that the other man is looking better, too. There's a bit of a chuckle as he's called 'crybaby' again, and then another one when Wolfwood chugs the coffee like it's a lifesaver. ]

Looks like I need to bring you a cup every time I visit. Maybe a whole pot.

[ He takes a sip of his own coffee, leaning against the wall to chat with the terrible, awful criminal like he's an old friend. Vash feels pretty at ease around Wolfwood, which is both weird and nice at the same time. ]

Bland food and no coffee? No wonder you have a headache. Food like that is just depressing.

[ He gives the cell a glance. It looks... well, very sterile, but not torturous. At least not physically. ]

I can bring you pizza next time. Or donuts. Do you like those?
plantussy: (azalea)

[personal profile] plantussy 2024-11-10 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, the guy is tripping on his words like he's not used to kindness and Vash can't help wondering if he isn't. Wolfwood is paranoid and apparently violent but the engineer doesn't really care. He wants to share a drink with this guy one day. ]

Duly noted. Coffee by the gallon and pizza slices next time.

[ It's a promise, jail guy. ]

Did you read the recent report, by the way? Looks like we're on track again.
plantussy: (mayflower)

[personal profile] plantussy 2024-11-10 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Two years is pretty fast. We've already traveled for over sixty, and if this was the old kind of ships...

[ Vash does a bit of mental calculation. ]

A nebula can be hundreds of light years across... so about a million or more years.

[ He doesn't mean to freak the guy out more - just telling him they're doing okay. They're lucky the Mnemosyne is such a modern ship. ]

We don't even know if we've passed the area where the infection started. We'll be okay.
