[For once, they are not broadcasting from inside the last rent controlled apartment in Manhattan: they are in Prefect's quarters. As is Prefect. And this does not appear to be a social call. Scrad keeps his eyes, and the gun-shaped object in the pocket of their hoodie trained on Prefect, as Charlie addresses everyone, stretching forward on his stalk to peer into the comm's camera.]

Okay. Here's the deal: we want off this boat, and we want off it now. So unless you wanna see something unpleasant happen to this guy-

On the longer scale, I'd prefer this information didn't get disseminated and accepted as true by anyone, for any reason. I don't need some idiot with a homemade welding gun knocking at that door every time they get itchy feet. Besides, they've already made their disinterest obvious.

With all due respect? Fuck off and don't condescend to me. I have the right to ensure the security of my workplace, and I feel that painting a target on what is already the most vulnerable area of this ship is utterly idiotic.

If you want to start a rumour that an area of the ship is functioning as an entrance to the bridge, I wish you would, but make it an area that isn't also vital to the Barge's function.

For two, rumors only work when they're believable and that one's believable seein's how it already happened.

For three, it ain't like you're alone in securing the damn room.

You actually think darlin' isn't likely to be taken as

It's hardly my fault if you're terrible at misdirection

As a matter of fact I am alone in there for as much as eight hours a day and I think it's entirely reasonable for me to not want to have to deal with

[But nothing transmits, and she knows what a futile argument looks like so she's just going to leave this alone.]
