[ kelly only addresses the communication device after she's made sure it's not a bomb or rigged to send a signal to someone else or some sort of covenant communication device that's liable to go off in her face. this involves dropping it several times, even after she finally turns the damn thing on. up, down, up, down, up -- she looks frustrated, which for a spartan means she's very angry. she's trying to channel that anger into getting things done, finding out information, and generally being productive, but it's difficult when her entire body is slow and all of her senses are incredibly dulled. she feels blind, deaf, numb, and deathly slow and she does not like it at all. ]

I need to speak with whoever is in charge here. [ her voice is hard, maybe a little cold, as though she's trying her hardest to keep herself under control. ] They need to learn a lesson: if they want someone's cooperation, drugging and stripping them isn't the way to gather favor. [ she's being horribly affected by the power dampeners and it's throwing her off. ]

I don't appreciate being drugged or kidnapped [ even if that's happened to her before ] and I won't stay here. You can keep your play at prison for someone else.

[ for those watching along at home, kelly does appear human, but she's extremely muscular, looking closer to a lifelong body-builder than an actual normal person. and she's twitchy if this is anything to go by. she pauses for just a moment, hesitant to add on one more thing to her list of complaints. ]

And someone has my-- [ a pause as she debates how to address that. ] --clothes.

	No one's shooting at us, but we're still trapped. I don't think it's much of a trade-off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We're agreed there. Though it's been my xperience, paradise ain't ever as good as people make it out to be. Alliance promised paradise... cost us our freedom. They promise it to us here... ain't all it's cracked up to be. An' you never know. All sorta crazy things can happen here. A giant squid attacked us once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	spartanrabbit 2013-10-17 01:19 am UTC (link)
	Understood. [ oddly enough, a giant squid isn't the worst thing she's ever heard of. ] If that's the weirdest thing to happen, I'll be fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good t'know. Always like to see those that kin handle themselves. Names Captain Malcolm Reynolds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ the change is instantaneous as her suspicions are confirmed and a lifetime of military training takes over. she manages to squash the urge to tell him that she's spartan-087 reporting for duty, sir, but that's it. there's new found respect in her tone, however. ] Yes, sir. I'm capable. [ of what, she doesn't say, nor does she offer a name yet. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal hadn't been expecting the sudden respect. Zoe showed him respect... most of the time. No one else on the crew did much. It tells him plenty about the woman even if there's no name attached.] At ease soldier. We ain't fightin' anything right now. How much have you learned about this place yet?

[ it comes from thirty-five years of being a soldier and nothing else. kelly doesn't know how to be anything but a spartan. it's become instinct, a fact of her life ingrained in her since she was six years old. ]

Very little, sir. [ even with the "at ease" command, she finds it difficult to fully drop formalities. ] We've all been brought here unwillingly and no one's figured out a way to get back.

[ she's gotten a little more, but even though she's giving him the respect a captain deserves, she's still wary of him simply because he's a stranger. she doesn't know him, so she'll still keep some things to herself. ]

	Didn't mean as a report. Meant what d'you wanna know. I'll answer if I can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Despite the lack of freedom to go outside the dome, there's quite a bit of liberty inside the dome. Sector 1 seems to be the physical fitness area. I've been carin' for the horses. 'Bout the only thing reminds me of home. Rumor has it there's a library. Some folk take classes. An' there always seems to be a party or somewhat goin' on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	spartanrabbit 2013-10-21 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	Physical fitness. That's where I'll be. [ she has a lot to readjust to, after all, though she's hoping this won't be permanent. if it's not, she'll still need to keep up her training and physical state. so. the gym it is. ] I don't do parties. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2013-10-21 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	Well, they ain't all that great. But sometimes there's alcohol, an' that's always worth it. I avoid most of 'em myself though. Everyone else here seems to have crew... or friends... or whatever from home. [He perks up at her mention of physical fitness.] You spar by any chance? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	spartanrabbit 2013-10-21 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	You don't have anyone you know here? [ despite not being able to function normally now, and even if she could, she'd be strong and fast enough to have a normal human on their knees in two seconds flat, she nods. ] That's how I keep in shape. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They disappeared a while back. [And the edge in his voice should clearly scream that that bit of conversation is over with.] Been itchin' to find a sparring partner. [Or a brawl. The one with Bart hadn't gone so well between the being drunk thing and the still healing bullet hole...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ were this anyone else, the vocal cues would be completely understood. but with a spartan, especially kelly? n o p e. sorry, mal. spartans operate bluntly: if something needs to be said, it's said straight-up and vocal cues are non-existent. ]

What happened to them? Where did they go?

I could spar tomorrow. [ when she's more adjusted and sure of whether or not she'll get her augments back. if she doesn't, he'll be a fair challenge for her. if she does, she'll have to be careful, but it could be good practice. ]

	[His scowl deepened.] Don't know. One day they was here, next they weren't. [He doesn't feel much up to talking about sparring anymore now that his mind has been forced to think of his crew.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	spartanrabbit 2013-10-24 10:17 am UTC (link)
	[ well, the good news is that she understands his scowl means he's upset. the bad news is she has no idea why. at least she doesn't appear to be needling him for the sake of needling him. ] Does that happen often? People disappearing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wish there were an edit button. cptn_tightpants 2013-10-24 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	Don't know. Maybe a week ago lots showed up fer a day only. Most disappeared after that. Some come back regularly it seems. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Way I see it? Any chance to go home makes you lucky. Just wish I were as lucky as the rest of my crew. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe you will if you keep fighting. Sir. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[There's a small smile.] Fightin's all I do sweetheart. [Something beeps in the background and Mal looks back.] Seems I have things to do. Any other questions feel free to contact me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	spartanrabbit 2013-10-27 07:32 pm UTC (link)
	Understood, sir. I will. [ she really understands doing nothing but fighting. being here and not having something to do is very weird. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
