I'd really resent having to ask whoever the frak your Warden is about where you've got to, so you'd best actually be missing.

[ ... :c ]

[ video; public ]

[ Here would be a description of how stressed and anxious Gaius looks, but a) when isn't he, and b) so is most of everyone, and c) he didn't even do anything apart from hide in his cabin possibly clutching a steak knife. He has his far share of healing scrapes and bruises, and is back into his cigarettes. ]

Are we missing anyone, after all that? I'm-- checking in about where Jesse Pinkman happens to be.

And while I'm here, I'd also like to thank the management for an absolutely phenomenal weekend.

[ No. ]

I'm fine, by the way.

Mister Pinkman is in Zero.

[tobecaprican]

What? What happened?

[ Small alarm. Maybe he's just. Real concerned for his new friend! But there's a flicker of wariness too. ]

[with_discipline]

[You're lucky T'Pol's not big on sharing private info, buddy.] There was an altercation with one of the crewmen, and he asked to be placed in a cell. [Not. Exactly it, but it's the simplest, cleanest explanation.]

Threadjack!

[yeahscience.livejournal.com]

It wasn't one of the crewmen, it-- [He bites off, frustrated.]

Whatever. It's a long story, Gaius.

[tobecaprican]

And Zero just seemed to be the best and safest place to be.

[ Blandly cynical. ]

[yeahscience.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, okay?

[He sounds less than fine.]

[Public, Audio]

[tobecaprican]

[ Oh. A pause, then; ]

Are you still down there?

[Public, Audio]

[yeahscience.livejournal.com]

For now.

[Private, Audio]

[tobecaprican]

[ Filter switch? DOES THAT WORK? He isn't sure how Zero works. ]

What's this about the crewmen?

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

[Camera's on and Capa's in the infirmary. He looks half asleep and dopey and not only because of the drugs. But at least he's coherent.

Sort of.]

You didn't enjoy it?

[tobecaprican]

[ Squint at the video, vaguely concerned. Perhaps it is even concern for Capa, as opposed to generalised concern about the Barge in all its terribleness. ]

...did you?

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

Nope.

That was a joke. [And he chuckles a bit. Definitely the drugs talking.] I enjoyed being on the bridge. I didn't enjoy finding it.

[tobecaprican]

[ Allows the smallest of smirks, less at the joke itself, more that Capa made it. ]

Who knows, someone's bound to have had a good time. Certainly the impostor.

You were one of that lot, then.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

You didn't get bitten, did you?

[tobecaprican]

They were biting?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. I've got a bit of my arm missing to prove it.

Private

[justareverie.livejournal.com]

Jesse will be fine.

I suppose you're friends. In a while, I'm sure he'd appreciate a visit.

Private

[tobecaprican]

And you must be his wrangler.

No one'll be fine.

Private

[justareverie.livejournal.com]

That's the spirit. [ A resentive pause, not at Gaius but at thinking of Jesse. ] I only want best for him.

I'm at disasvantage here, mister...?

Well, I'm glad you're alright!

I don't think we've been introduced.

[tobecaprican]

Gaius.

Pleased to meet you.

[strangehistorian]

Chromie! And likewise. I usually greet people in their first post, but I think you were preoccupied.
