This is Queen Elsa of Arendelle.

[ She appears on the network calm and composed, no smile or anything, but she hesitates after speaking. She feels a bit awkward about addressing everyone on the ship so soon after her arrival, but it's important. It's an important step in her plan to keep herself at a distance from others, to keep them all safe from her. So here she is, likely to sound like a horribly rude person, but it needs to be done. ]

...I suppose titles have no meaning here anymore. No matter. This is Elsa, and I would simply like to request that those of you on the same deck as me avoid my room. Consider it off limits. I-- I have a certain need for privacy and don't like to be disturbed.

That said, now for those that I work with: please keep your distance from me while we work together. I...wouldn't want anything to happen. By that, I mean I... I have an aversion to touch. It makes me uncomfortable and I wouldn't want to make anyone else uncomfortable, either.

I realize these may seem like odd requests, but they are what I require. Thank you for taking them into consideration and thank you for your time.

[ There's a curt nod, and the video feed cuts off. ]

From what I understand, the cryogenic pods are important as they keep people in a stasis for periods of time, freezing them to keep them alive and safe during space travel.

I'm not certain what constitutes as a reason for being put in cryo, but I know that the pods are important for the above stated reason. We repair anything that might be broken or out of place on the pods to ensure that they're safe to be used.

[Rinzler can think of more than a few reasons why someone might be kept in stasis for some time. Most of them probably don't apply here.

Probably.]

No current occupants?

None at the moment, no.

[ She only knows this because she went to investigate her workstation earlier in the day, despite her plans to stay hidden in her room. She was too curious to not, though. ]

[Welp. Suspicions about the admins' cryo plans aside, the PSA seems fairly straightforward. And having no reason to interact with this user (and certainly no interest in contact himself), Rinzler's pretty ready to sign off. Just a quick scan of her network traffic for other points of interest, and—

...
...

User, why. D:]

Power secrecy: a priority?

[ The question comes as a shock when she gets a look at it. For a second, she thinks he's talking about something else, but no... No, the only thing he could be talking about is her powers.

How??? How does he know? Has someone told him? ]

How do you know about that?

[ Of course, it is a priority, but she's too focused on how he knows to bother even answering his question about it. ]

Discussion with user Bruce_Banner on unencrypted feed.

[Really, user. It might be one thing if he'd had to hack his way in, but your security measures are nonexistent. Rinzler's almost offended just on principle.

Though mostly, Rinzler is just headdesk.]

Strong recommendation: increase technical skills.

[ ...So he's gone and listened to her conversations with everyone she's spoken to based on this broadcast. Or, at the very least, the one she'd had with Bruce. The one meant to be very private.

Elsa is quite upset now, and she stares down at her MID with wide eyes. Not only is she upset, but she's frightened, because she didn't tell this person in confidence--he could easily go around telling everyone about her powers and lack of control over them. The exact opposite of what she wants.

It's tempting to scold him, or to even ask him how he's managed to get into her other conversations, but his recommendation stops her. ...And upsets her further. ]

And my recommendation for you is to not go snooping in the business of others.

Technical skills are a new thing for me, so pardon me if mine aren't up to par.

[It takes all of one line for Rinzler to go from rueful to bristling. Of course a user would take it that way.]

Public feed.
Didn't need to tell you.

[Certainly, her supposed ally hadn't bothered. And if Rinzler could care less about her business, there's no guarantee that applies to everyone else who knows how to browse. But if she wants to get angry at him for offering a warning?]

Won't repeat the error.
