You are tuned into Starquake FM.

Okay. Just got some quick info for everyone.
I know folks have been focusing on ... uh, gettin' info on what the big uglies have been doing, but took some time to check stuff Starquake side. Had a ... bit of a hunch.

So yeah... For anyone who remembers the Gehenna Jaunt? The spaceships? Part of the ... well, the data there, the signals in the noise - it's hard to describe. But it sounds and feels a hell of a lot like the tachyon song - uh, storm. Or the thing that was on the ship singing back in time at us.

There's a lotta other data in there too that I'm still tryin' to process. Ain't got the whole picture. But with all the time ...whatever it is... that's going on anyway... yeah, this is gonna take some work. Any thoughts?

It does not, in fact, come off, and it does not, in fact, have any holodisplays. There's some storage capacity for data, but as far as we know, that's it. But it's a weapon first and foremost.

[tookashirototheknee]

Lighten up, you.

I was mostly teasing.

Although, I'm kinda sad about the holodisplays. It would make a fantastic portable vid screen.

[Yeah, yeah, okay, he's slightly mollified. You're lucky he's a marshmallow around you, Holt.]

If you want one of those you could always see if you could get back into liminal space and grab one of my gauntlets. The right-hand one has comms, homing beacon, and holoscreens in it, just like Pidge's does. I just need it back in working order when you're done.

[tookashirototheknee]

Nah. I'm not that bored that I'd need to find someone to let me back to Liminal Space.

Mostly I'm just trying to tease you into relaxing a bit, grumpy.

....Sorry, Matt. I guess I'm antsy. And the arm really isn't a good way to get me to lighten up, for future reference. It tends to get my back up more than anything. I'm trying to work on that, but for now, it might be a good idea to leave it out of the jokes.

Sorry. I didn't mean to.

I know I shouldn't joke as much as I do. I think it's become the World's Shittiest Coping Mechanism.

Re: [Private: Protection II]

[vrepit_no]

I know you didn't mean to... I'm not angry, Starshine. Promise. I like your jokes. Heck, sometimes it even gets me joking right back. Which I'm told I need to do more often. Just keep it in mind in the future for me? Please?

[Private: Protection II]

[tookashirototheknee]

Of course.

No more jokes about the arm. Promise.

Re: [Private: Protection II]

[vrepit_no]

Thanks.


....Hey. I love you.

[Private: Protection II]

[tookashirototheknee]

I love you too... but what brought that on?

Re: [Private: Protection II]

[vrepit_no]

I uh. [Sheepish laugh.] I don't know. It felt important to say. And it's true, so. Mental post it.

You are such a dork, 'Kashi. Such a big teddy bear.

Re: [Private: Protection II]

[vrepit_no]

Yeah, maybe a little. What can I say. You bring it out in me.
