[ The tech is, honestly, kind of shitty, but it’s not as if Cain hasn’t had to deal with worse. He’s sort of ticked off about a lot of things, and if that isn't evident by the way his face fills the vid screen, then... Well. What’s more, he figures it’s easier to get this out of the way now so there’s no misconception about what he’s doing on this death ride to wherever. His expression says as much too, the leer strongly in place. ]

Listen up. I don’t give a fuck where any of you were before or what you were doing, but there are a few rules our captains skipped out on. [ Do they seriously expect him to actually call them that? ] Stay out of my way. [ It's a vague threat at best, though he drags a hand through his hair to offset any momentary silence. ]

And who the hell puts a Fighter in Navigation? Tch. [ Wrong designation, assholes. ] If you want to trade, see me. We'll work it out. Otherwise, get lost.

[ He honestly doesn't have the patience for this, because he picks up one of those H₂O kits and chucks it across the hallway before the feed cuts out. ]

Wah, wah, stay out of my way. I'm a whiny human meatbag, fear me.

[ Yeah, there's a big, fuzzy, many-horned cat thing replying in a mocking tone of voice. She pitches her typically more gruff and growly voice higher in a poor mimicry, but, once that's over, drops back to her normal pitch and curls a lip back, sneering. ]

I'm shaking in my boots here.

[feck]

[ Okay. Just... what. ]

What the hell are you supposed to be?

[encharrneered]

Someone who's extremely unimpressed. Thought that one would be obvious.

[ This does not answer the question as he had intended it. She does not care. ]

[feck]

[ He snorts. ]

Like I care. You got anything else to say?

[encharrneered]

Yeah. What you going to do when I don't stay out of your way?

[feck]

Make you stay out of my way.

[ Like there's any other alternative. ]

[encharrneered]

[ Yeah, that gets a laugh. ]

Ha! I'd like to see you try.

[feck]

[ Rude. Time to put some... things in their place. ]

I'd do more than try.

[encharrneered]

Yeah. You would fail, too.

[ The rudest. ]

[feck]

Says the... whatever the hell you are.

[ What a lame burn, Cain. ]

[encharrneered]

Eheheh. [ She laughs at that, a low, rumbling sound that isn't exactly friendly. ] Yeah, says the whatever the hell I am. Now if you're done posturing, whatever the hell I am has better things to be doing.

See you around, mouse.

[ Showing Lee, vaguely sweaty after his workout, thermal top still around his neck. Only the shirt wrapped around, and neck are really visible besides his head. His eyes appear friendly, earnest and intelligent. Something about his face always puts people off though. Maybe if he looked like less of a ...well, we'll leave perception to the individual. ]

I think we have the opportunity to change jobs in the future. We are assigned what was needed most at the time. They say it's by skill set but, well... That may be true for some, but not all. Somehow I doubt you'd want to trade with me.

[ Somehow he doubts trading his 'prestigious positon' as Hold workforce officer with this kid would be wise, even if he did agree. ] In any case, you'll have to comply. I assume you signed the form like everyone else?

[feck]

[ He's seen that look one too many times on new Fighters, but for what it's worth, he has no idea if that even applies anymore. Fuck it. ]

I didn't say I wanted to hear your bitching. What job is it? [ And no way is he going to comment on the fact he actually did sign the stupid thing. It wasn't as if he had much choice, so. ]

[thegoodlighter]

The only one the entire crew of the ship just got to hear whining was you.

[ Lee, this is not how we make friends. Do you learn nothing ever? ]

But to answer your question, I am assigned as a Hold Workforce officer.

Which...probably means I'll be seeing a lot of you. [ Patronizing adult face, activate! ]

[feck]

Fancy title. [ Can you hear the sarcasm in his voice, Lee? ] You won't be seeing any of me unless I want you to.

[thegoodlighter]

[ Tumbleweed and whistle.
Way to already annoy people, Lee. So much for starting over.

His brow furrows a bit. Why did everyone hate rules?? ] I don't think we get a choice in these things.

[feck]

[ It's not that Cain hates rules. He just has a problem with authority. ]

This thing looks big enough to get lost in. You'd be surprised.

[thegoodlighter]

Maybe. So far as I can tell, she's different from, but not necessarily complex than the ship I came from.

[Actually, I have no idea how big the Moira is compared to the Galactica, but let's go with this for now. He hasn't seen all the ship yet, anyways.]

[forcefulgift]

[Have the face of a particularly amused Omega level mutant. A smug little smirk on his face after that particular tirade. Ade understood anger, but smashing one of the H2O kits and throwing it looked particularly childish, even for him.]

Careful there, mate. Wouldn't go picking fights with all the other ants 'til you've really sussed out the competition. [He tilts his head to the side, though, as if analysing the situation.] That and its always a shitty idea to go showing off you're pissed before you even start understanding your captors. Means they'll pay too much attention.

[feck]

[ Don't start with him. He's doing you a favor. ]

I don't remember askin' for any tips. [ Look how smug he is about it too. ] Our new friends can listen all they want. I was in the middle of something important.

[forcefulgift]

I bet you were. [He shrugs, making a tch noise with his tongue and teeth.] Either way mate, shouldn't go throwing your toys out the pram just yet- 'specially not by warning other people to stay out of your way. For some people that's a bloody red flag to a bull. [He totally isn't one of those people, promise.]

[feck]

[ ... ] Was the last thing I said not clear enough? Unless you've got something to offer, fuck off.

[ He doesn't need to hear any of this from you. He'll do what he wants, when he wants, and there's no one aboard to stop him. This isn't an Alliance ship, and he doesn't see any CO here to tell him the objective's changed. ]

[forcefulgift]

Oh I've got something to offer sunshine. [And with that his middle finger pops up into the screen, coupled with that smug as hell expression.] And if you pull this angry little bastard shit with me in person? Don't be surprised if I nut you.

[feck]

[ Surprisingly, that gets a laugh (?????) out of him. This is more amusing than he'd originally thought. ]

Guess that means you better keep your bitching somewhere else. Don't count on it being that easy, princess. [ He usually reserves that nickname for Abel, but considering he's not here... Hope you like it, Ade. ]

[forcefulgift]

[That princess earns him a particularly violent looking edge, when Ade speaks its almost like his lips are lifting away from his teeth in a snarl.]

Would fucking love to see you try do something 'bout me mate. I'll kick your fairy arse up and down this bloody ship. [Because slightly longer than average hair made someone a fairy Ade, totally.]

Are you done having your temper tantrum?

video.

[feck]

[ No, actually, he's not. ]

Who's asking?

text

[a_shadow]

Someone who thinks it's pretty stupid to go on the network and show their hand like this

Does the name Omega mean anything to you?

[feck]

[ Really, no one's seen anything. But they can keep thinking that. ]

Is that your codename? [ That's kind of shitty of them to give such a lame one if it is. ]

[a_shadow]

It's a name. Not mine.

[ Of course, there's no guarantee Omega would out himself if he was around. She's going to keep her eye on this one for now. ]

[feck]

Then why ask about it?

[ He smells suspicious all over this. ]

[a_shadow]

It's a fairly simple question, isn't it? Omega means something to me— apparently it means nothing to you. That's all I need to know.

[theoldmansback]

]Ooh, someone's in a bad mood.]

You're new. You can't expect you'd get the exact job you want without even having to prove yourself, can you? They don't know anything about us yet.

[feck]

What was the point of sitting around in the medbay then?

[ Shouldn't they know everything about them? Hah. ]

[theoldmansback]

Your medical make up isn't going to tell them what job to put you in.

[feck]

They sure as hell took their time asking plenty of questions. [ What a joke. ] Let me guess... Yours is something you know how to do.

[theoldmansback]

[Fair.]

Well, sure. Not exactly my area of expertise though, and something I like to think I'm a little overqualified for...but if that's what they need then, that's what they need. Being on a crew means sometimes you have to do things that you don't love in order for things to run smoothly.

[Quite bitchin' in fewer words.]

voice;

[exteroception]

[This sure is a grown man throwing a tantrum.]

I'm the interrogation technician if you want to try swapping.

[How much worse is the tantrum going to get when he learns Matt can't actually switch with him?]

[feck]

What's in it for me?

[ That sounds even worse than Navigation. Unless there's some physical part of being in interrogation. (He's pretty damn sure that's a requirement, right?) ]

[exteroception]

Getting to hit people with a perfectly valid excuse on a lawless ship isn't enough?

[Not that he'd ever condone that kind of thing.]

[feck]

[ ... now we're talking here. Hello, New Friend. ]

Maybe it is. How do we trade?

[exteroception]

Is there an officially maintained list somewhere? Otherwise I assumed you show me what you do and then I'll show you what I do.

[ Seriously? Being trapped on a ship with Mr. Blame-Everyone-But-Me is just a g r e a t addition to the day Rhys is having, which started with peeling a fa--

Peeling a faaa...ace off of - you know what? Unneeded information. Point is the day's gotten to the point where he's being called an asshole and he hasn't even stolen a promotion so nah, not having it. ]

Okay, uh first of all: rude. Two, you think that it could be a reflection on the serious 'tude you've got going there cuz I gotta tell ya, it is sterling. You should do an advice column.

[feck]

[ Oh, isn't this cute. What a baby. ]

If that's all you've got to say to me, you should try not talking. It'd be a lot better for both of us. [ He doesn't care what kind of opinion this guy has; he's hardly in the mood to deal with it. ]

[robotmom]

[ hEY YOU WANNA GO??? ]

Yeah, no, just a little friendly advice from one pissed and unfortunately stranded guy to the next. Cuz hey, where I come from if you can't learn to play nice with people you can't stand? You're gonna be taking a walk without a space suit.

Not - not because of me personally, ha ha. Just, you know. Speaking generally.
