( if you'd have taken a bet as to which starfleet officer ended up in the brig first you wouldn't have come out with this one. the fact that she's now back in the brig-- she's starting to really hate superstition )

Anyone that's allowed on deck want to tell me which direction the ship's pointing? Or what you see up there?
I'll even trade a story, something from your home for one of mine.

( she'd even take a story about the things that people have seen here but she's info seeking, find out where people are from, maybe when... she can't help the pirates but she can still be busy.

you could also potentially assume that she's a little bored )

well generally we're going east so probably that way

lotta water here

[unas]

They wouldn't have ships for a crew this big if they didn't expect to travel.

[traaaaaash]

yes that is what we are doing right now

[unas]

I managed to see the water to know that much.

Are you still in the brig? They let me out on good behavior.

[unas]

If you haven't noticed they don't like women on deck.

( not confirming anything about the brig. she had gotten out! and then was thrown back in when they caught her again )

[techmaturgy]

They don't like the ill or the infirm, either. Would you like to borrow the bird? It might scare them off.

Due east, for now, at a leisurely 5 knots. Nothing but water and sky. Some low-lying cloud well to the North, looks like the tail end of a storm.

Is there anything you need in there, Commander?

[unas]

I heard someone talking about oranges.

( it's better than what the pirates consider food for their prisoners.

though she's not unaware that getting an orange means admitting where she is )

[biomed]

I'll get you some. Where are they making you all stay?

( He's got a hammock, but truth be told, he wouldn't mind being sequestered with the women, and not for any salacious reasons: pirates fukkin' stink. Life is suffering, etc etc. )

Haven't been able to stay up there long enough to determine what direction we're going

What I see seems to depend on what time of night I'm out there.

[unas]

Which can be different from what's there in the day.

[chromiums]

Exactly. I've tried to stay off of it when I can, whether that means going off ship or sticking to whatever jobs I can do under it.

[intermingled]

Do you require assistance?

[unas]

( who, her? )

No, I'm fine.

( liar )

[intermingled]

I can tell you are lying through a textual message.

[ Seriously? After he went through all that trouble. ]

That didn't take long.

[unas]

They're not fans.

[somebadnews]

Well, you did knock out a few of them.

[ He knew he should have killed those guards. ]

I guess I forgot to mention that you should lay low after a jailbreak.

[winscenario]

[ Thanks to a certain doctor, Jim's been made aware that she was locked up again, so rather than answer her broadcast, he just makes his way down there; probably makes up some excuse as to why he wants to see her so the pirates don't question it much.

Anyway, here he is now, also having somehow managed to convince them to let them be alone. Easier to talk like this. ]

Let me guess: you liked it so much the first time, you just couldn't wait to get back in here?

[unas]

( she was absolutely taking a nap when he came down here--

okay, she wasn't taking a nap, but she had laid out the blanket that mccoy had brought her on top of the one she already had for a little extra padding, laying out on both of them. she was trying to rest, to keep up her remaining strength. though mccoy had helped bring her fever down slightly she didn't know how well that would last.

so when he pops by her eyes are closed, and she'd probably been close to falling asleep which is why she doesn't hear him enter. until he talks, one eye opening to see who it is. and then the other )

It's a private room compared to my other offerings.

[winscenario]

[ She's not the only one having trouble sleeping, but sometimes just lying down and resting does wonders. Doesn't seem to be doing wonders for her, she looks like an exhausted mess regardless, but he doesn't say that. ]

Calling it a room is a bit of a stretch.

[ He glances back to double-check they're alone, stepping closer to the bars. ]

How are you? Be honest.

You face east.

[unas]

That's it?

The lone constant.
