[Saul would've come to the network sooner, but his earpiece picked something up not long after the network came back online.

So, he waited.

And waited.

And now, he thinks, is as good a time as any for this broadcast.

He's seated in DITR's office; the interior looks much the same as any other bedroom on the base, but in lieu of the beds, there's a medium-sized desk. This is where he's perched in his usual pose with elbows on his knees, hands folded, leaning forward just slightly and addressing the camera — which someone else is holding — with an expression so grim it somehow almost seems amused.]


This is not how you get what you want.

[A pause. He appears thoughtful for a moment, then waves a dismissive hand at nothing and smooths down his tie.]

I mean, sure, it must've sounded great in theory. And I'd bet any amount of money that you all thought you had your bases nice and covered, buuut —

[Tch.]

Looks like maybe not, if the network being back online is any indication. Hi, by the way. Are you having fun yet? Because that whole lack of gravity thing — man, that was a blast. I'm just wondering, you know, if this is gonna work in your favor the way you'd all hoped. Messing with the systems is all well and good and yeah, okay, we get your point: you're mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore. Fine.

But I think — and this is just my lawyerly opinion — you're gonna have a hell of a time dealing with the fallout from this. And I promise you, Charlie, there will be fallout. Civilized fallout, of course, assuming no one gets hurt. I'll keep my promise if you keep yours.

[He grins, then winks.]

Anyway, I dunno about everyone else, but I'm waiting with bated breath for your next move. And if you need anything from us —

[A quick sweep of his arm to indicate the entirety of the room and, with it, the entirety of DITR's staff. Whatever anger he's been keeping at bay finally seeps through, Saul's eyes narrowing for the split second it takes him to say:]

Good fucking luck.

[And off goes the video feed.]

If you haven't come to the office in room 206 yet, please report to Roslyn Small or another member of the police force for further instructions. They're set up in the cafeteria.

This isn't our bid to run the bloody station. But if no one else is going to do something and work toward getting us off this rock in a way that's not just blindly fumbling in the dark and hoping for the best--, then we'll do what no one else wants to do.

[Whether that means getting his way and working with the Initiative or being strung up the yard arm as a means to galvanize the other Transports to give a shit, to realize this is serious, he doesn't really care.]

[Unfortunately, there aren't any takebacks this far into the game. Her brows pucker, not in anger.] It belongs to the air, now.

[It'll catch blaze in due time.]

Isn't that what this is? [ just barely onscreen, her shoulders shrug ] Hoping for the best?

Unless you have experience in hostage negotiation, your suggestions are unwarranted and unaccepted.

[All the things Chloe will sadly never know.] No? And here I thought I was doing so well.

Look, I'll see what I can do about getting your mates in touch with you here in a bit without compromising out position. Until then just sit tight.

So lemme get this straight - despite the fuckin' hassle this whole situation's gone an' caused you ain't goin' to do nothin' beyond "ciwil" if they don't hurt noone?

Cause that sounds like a real load.

If there are those who agree with us, good. Maybe some change will come out of this damned mess, and the Transports will finally have more say in what we do when we are the ones risking our lives.

[she takes a deep breath] They stuck us on a base full of creatures that could have wiped us all out, Saul - and that is not their first offense since I arrived in this cursed world. Does that not anger you at all?

If a single hair on their head is out of place...

[ Best not to go there. Not to be abrupt, but she's just going to. Hang up now. There's a cabinet of sedatives calling her name right now. ]

I don't get what they hope they're gonna achieve by taking over the Transport room. What the heck happened to sitting down and talking to people about things? Seesh.

[They so need Frankie. She'd fix this in three seconds flat]

[He twists his head to the side and sneers, claws lifted into the air. Was he wallowing? He was wallowing again, wasn't he?]

......

[He makes a low, hissing sound.]

And from what I've heard it's due for an inspection. Either way, it's not all that difficult to put two and two together when it comes to a 'one: they stole our spaceship, two: hey lads remember that one time there was a base on the moon' scenario.

You'd think the Initiative themselves woulda said something about all this by now.

[He presses a metal palm against his head, eyes closed.]

Yeah....

Maybe you're right....

[He'll just silently beat himself up.]

But I'm still gonna find the way to fix this.

Hey, I wasn't saying that we don't need to keep an eye out for it, just that we're on top of that one. We need to keep on getting people out there to keep an eye out for whenever they decide to send another one up here.

[His eye flashes red]

....Sure.
