[decrypter]

Your drones aren't invisible.

[serialskiller]

You’ve never seen one.

[decrypter]

I regret to inform you that even you are invisible, by that logic.

[serialskiller]

I always let you know I’m here. My drones don’t. For you, or anyone else. And not everyone listens for them.

[serialskiller]

Sound a little more ominous, could you?

What do you need?

[decrypter]

All right, I'll concede that, since even if one's listening for them they're difficult to pick out.

I suppose I just forgot about the idea of being watched at all.

[serialskiller]

The Captain is capable of watching us anywhere except our cabins. It's worth remembering that--I was aware that he would be capable of seeing the conversation we were having. I didn't think of the passengers, beside that.

[decrypter]

Several minutes pass.

I hope he was occupied with something else.

[goodweather]

Ha, sorry! It's nothing big.

I just wonder if you're free the night of the 2nd. I'm

It's an important day for me and I don't think I'm going to get a lot of sleep.

[ And you're safe, and I don't want to be alone. Wait that still sounds ominous ]

I'm going to watch the sunrise. Come with?

[serialskiller]

Clarification: by 'night of the 2nd', do you mean the night of the 1st into the 2nd or the night of the 2nd into the 3rd?

Either way, I will clear my schedule for you. The entire day, if you'd like.

[serialskiller]

He usually isn't interested in things like this. That's why he doesn't watch the cabins, he might see something he's disinterested in.

[decrypter]

Knowing that the Captain does not watch us sleep is only mildly reassuring.

[serialskiller]

It's other activities he's trying to avoid.

[decrypter]

I know. I was trying to be charitable.

How best to change the subject...

Sundries gave me a weapon. I'm not sure what to do with it.

[serialskiller]

What sort of weapon?

[decrypter]

It's a gun. I recognize it, because it belongs to someone I used to know. No idea why it showed up here, though.

[serialskiller]

I have ideas on how to help you practice with it. Aim toward drones making sounds.

[decrypter]

I might need a different weapon if I'm to actually practice. They only gave me six cartridges in total.

I know they cause small explosions. She used them to great effect.

[goodweather]

2nd into the 3rd.

... Are you sure? I would, but I don't want to take up too much of your time.

[serialskiller]

Have I made you believe that I'm the sort of person who offers to do a thing if it's going to be too much for me to tolerate?

[goodweather]

[ "Sort of person." Turn of phrase, but hey, now. ]

No, but you've made friends with a guy who always wants to give an out.

I'd like that a lot. If I start acting really weird or saying crazy shit on the 2nd, I apologize in advance.

[serialskiller]

[Oh, they can dissect that more in person. The bot has made some firm decisions about what it wants to be.]

Are you going to give me the relevant information to know when I need to worry?

[serialskiller]

I'll see if any of Jinx's guns are still around. That or I know Peter Smith has a pistol.

[goodweather]

[ ... oh, hoopla. ]

... When I think about it, I don't know if I'll be coherent enough to explain anything, so I should probably do it now.

[ The idea of having to explain over and over again for the next potential forever is exhausting. He doesn't wanna, though. ]

It's related to the time I mentioned I had thousands of tries to do something I couldn't. I'd rather do this in person. Let me know when you have a minute?

[serialskiller]

My cabin or yours?

I have a couple things to tell you as well, but they're not time-sensitive.
