[Private to the Admiral]
Um... hi? [Do you even do small talk with the Admiral when you have to ask him things? Does he even care if you're polite? Cass has no idea but hey, it can't hurt.] Need Loki to be... restricted. His strength, mostly. Make him... strong as average human. Please.

And, um. Thank you?

[Filtered from Loki]
[Now that that's dealt with, hello barge! Cass is hanging out in the CES today, sitting on a rock so she can get some sun. All that time in the infirmary left her feeling kind of stir crazy, so here she is.]

By now, will have seen... Loki's... whatever that was. Sorry, for him. Would be better if... he'd just bother me. No one else... should have to see that.

But, it's also good. What he wants, it's public. Everyone knows, wants to hurt me. But, he won't attack me. He'll hurt you. Everyone I love, everyone I care about, he'll hurt them.

So, restricted his strength. Which means, most of you? Stronger than him, now. Still, be careful. He's insane, if he wants to hurt, he'll find way. All I ask is... try not to kill him?

That's, um. That's all.

[She waves, then cuts the feed.]

Not your fault 'e's a prat, Cass love. I'm sorry I poked 'im, I'll watch that from 'ere on in.

[hellofist]

Thanks. He doesn't need help, acting like that. Still okay?

[routemistress]

Better. 'Ow about you?

[hellofist]

Also better. Sun feels good. Even people need... to be in sun, sometimes.

[She learned that one from Barbara.]

[routemistress]

[She smiles; pleased to see Cass recharging, somewhat recharged herself.]

It's bein' on deck that does that for me. That great boundless space between the stars, the infinite possibilities spread in the sky for the takin'. Reminds me we're not keepin' still; sometimes on this boat it can get to feeling that way.

[hellofist]

Still weird, to see that. For me. Used to... nature stuff, then cities. Lived in a desert, for awhile. Forests are better.

Wish CES made cities, though. Wish we could... go back to London.

[routemistress]

I do love forests, aye. But it's space is me natural element, as it were. Or, well, the space between space. Actual space is mostly just dull.

I'll take you on a trip sometime. Any London you like. I keep forgetting we can take time off. I 'ad a good time with Adrian.

[hellofist]

Can't leave. Not with Loki here. Not when... people here need me. Won't risk... not coming back.
