the last voyages // 2. video. no filter.

[ Somewhat less ruffled than the first time he transmitted a video, but only just, Gaius Baltar sits in view of the camera, nursing a cigarette, and looking faintly disturbed. He is also dressed like a pirate, from the elegant open-throated shirt through to gold-buttoned waistcoat. The bandanna has been left to hang around his neck, and there are a couple of rings on his fingers that are somewhat chunky and antiquated.

They glint a little as he takes another drag from his cigarette. It's a self-medicating technique so he doesn't freak out at people over phones again. He's just spent a few days believing he was a pirate, never you mind. When he poses his question, it's quite measured; ]

You found it distressing, didn't you? I certainly would have.

[Her gaze narrows, an annoyed breath exhaled through flared nostrils.]

This whole bloody place is distressing.

Had it's own charm, but you're not wrong. I don't know what's worse, mind you -- forgetting for a while what the frak is going on around here, or returning again.

[Have some tense silence that stretches on for a few moments.]

I've yet to venture on deck for myself. Would you care to meet?

[ You don't say no to murderers, really. ]

Of course. Yes, why not? It never rains.

Never rains, you say? Ought to be a nice change.

[She gives a shrug and a wry smile, then the video feed ends. Presumably so she can head up to meet the good doctor.]
