[aurelia appears on camera, smiling and generally seeming quite welcoming. those that know her, however, are probably aware what she's about to say will be anything but.]

Good evening, darlings! My, how fortunate we are! In need of supplies and come across the best possible thing: a space station where everyone who was in possession of something useful is, hopefully, dead.

Anyway, I'd like to say now as one of the ship's arbitration officers, if any of you find something to meddle in, any mystery, any people that have some missions, whatever you moral people manage to waste time on, I've decided to give you advance warning. Get involved in any affairs whatsoever, be it personal or political and I will personally murder you.

[of course to aurelia, murder is a perfectly reasonable problem solver.]

Happy hunting, darlings! Do try not to be an inconvenience.

Oh, honey, you're going to scare these kindly new people.

[He sounds saccharine and cheerful, but any Turian would have heard the very, very rude undernotes in his tones.]

[vengeance_driven]

Lady.

You have control issues.

Maybe you should work on them.

[if aurelia was even capable of noticing, she still wouldn't care.]

That is the point, darling. Glad to see our security can pick up on the overt threats at least.

[diamondslap]

What was this I've heard about the crew being directly responsible for the destruction of a planet?

[vengeance_driven]

Like you actually care about the destruction of that planet? I am pretty sure you just want an excuse to start shit.

[diamondslap]

I'm fairly certain I was quite clear about my intentions being to quickly end whatever anyone is trying to start.

[but yeah no she does vaguely want to start shit and doesn't give a heck about the planet.]

[vengeance_driven]

I think your intention to want to pick a fight is pretty clear.

Could you knock it off with the threatening people? Please? Because I am pretty sure half the people on board do not give shits, and a lot of the ones more moral could flick you into space as afterthought if you tried something with them.

Luckily they are more moral so they probably wouldn't. But it is a gamble that I wouldn't take.

[diamondslap]

Good god, do I need to spell it out? I shan't be lifting a finger in case anyone actively tries to get themselves involved. I don't care to. Senseless murdering like that is rather uncouth, don't you think?

[half the reason why she's even doing this is because she knows they are mostly too moral to do it. if someone's gonna murder her at least she would go out having a great fight.]

How very insightful.

[Tarn rests a hand on his chin, tapping the rough metal of his mask with a clawed finger.]

I would like to see you try.

There are ghosts here begging us to solve the mysteries of their untimely deaths.

Re: video

[diamondslap]

[aurelia barely spares tarn a glance. deep voice, scarred mask, claws? please.]

If I had to hazard a guess, darling, you seem the type who wouldn't get involved so much as indiscriminately murder anyone you thought looked at you funny.

Re: text

[diamondslap]

Then I would recommend you all sit back and be murdered and pillaged.

[she assumes he can pick up on the blatant sarcasm.]

Tell them to sod off.
Or pretend to be helpful until they lead you to their stash they had when they were alive, take all the loot, then tell them to sod off.

[not like she has experience with that or anything...]

It's a well respected and legitimate system of law where I come from.

[ Jay makes a sympathetic moue at Aurelia. ]

I'm sorry, darling, do-gooders are such a pain in the neck ... but why not just let them keep on solving the mystery until it leads them to their timely death? Much, ah, cleaner, one feels.

[ Nothing about how a pair of "do-gooders" saved his own neck, nope. Not at all. He's feeling cranky today. ]

[ Rewind glares, as much as a robot whose face is 75% faceplate can make an expression. ]

Prioritising your comfort over the needs of others sounds like a very Decepticon thing to do.

[sparkwhisperer]

[Aurelia's voice makes Tarn want to grind her into the ground. It's so shrill]

Well I suppose that isn't untrue. But, considering your attitude thus far, I would also keep in mind that you're not exempt.

[heart_breaking]

I just promised them help from everyone on the Moira.

[ersatzeverything]

Man, now I really want to find something to meddle in, just to piss you off.

[whatawaste]

[Maya's lying on the floor of the room they share as the message goes out. She smirks a little, tucking her long hair under her head to use as a pillow.

It's sort of what she's come to expect from her room mate. Although just why, she can't really say.

Even the whores she worked with in the dancing halls were never this unpleasant.]

I can see why they made you an arbitration officer. You're just so...diplomatic.

Re: video;

[diamondslap]

[aurelia instantly likes this one.]

You'd think, wouldn't you? Unfortunately, they manage to drag a large majority down with them, and their poor choices reflect on the ship as a whole. Being a nomadic crew tends to have that effect. Have you ever heard of space pirates? They're a thing, and they are awful.

[fun to murder, but awful.]

Their last venture involved hiring mercenaries. To protect a planet with a flammable atmosphere. To protect whales.

Re: video;

[diamondslap]

Am I supposed to know what that is? Or care?

[this thing is already boring her.]

[diamondslap]

It would be quite foolhardy of me to assume that fact, darling.

[normally aurelia does think herself above these things, but with giant murderbots? nah. this thing is probably programmed to threaten and kill. bloody inconvenient with the size of them, if you ask her.]

I only ask that you at least impart your name, if you're to be threatening to murder me at a moment's notice.

[maybe he's a hyperion shitbot with like 7 obvious weak spots.]
