[has just listened to the captain's latest announcement, and watches as the lights flicker and flash until the majority of them are out, including almost all of the ones where he stands on the observation deck. except for one near the entrance that dims occasionally, but holds onto its feeble light.]

[it's hard to see, but oddly, there's a smile on his face. as he speaks, one could possibly feel the venom in his words]

Captain Ganymede, you've just said the magic words. I won't allow you to harm anyone on this ship.

You've been warned.

...seems like this captain doesn't have his passengers' safety in mind anymore.

[bit_impossible]

Thing is, he wasn't all that bad in the beginning! Then again, I've only been here for over two months, so who knows how he was to begin with?

And hello, you're new! I'm the Doctor...and I'm so sorry you're joining us at this juncture. Of all the times for the ship to pull in new people...

[finish-thefight.livejournal.com]

The Doctor? [a ghost of a smile, barely twitching at the corners of his mouth. Someone else who doesn't go by their name] I'm the Master Chief.

I might be here because I'm needed.

[bit_impossible]

Master Chief? As in from the United States Naval or Marine Corp? Nice to meet you!

Perhaps. Could also be a coincidence. Then again, I don't believe in coincidences.

[finish-thefight.livejournal.com]

United Nations Space Command, actually. The military title hasn't been solely US held since the end of the 22nd century.

Funny. I don't believe in coincidences, either.

[bit_impossible]

Oh, the UNSC! [hits his forehead with his palm] Sorry, I just assumed you were from the 21st century. Most people on this ship are.

Well, not me, anyway.

[finish-thefight.livejournal.com]

Twenty-sixth century. [pauses, gathering his thoughts. This whole situation is a little beyond his training---something he'd never thought he'd encounter] When are you from?

[bit_impossible]

Bit of everywhere, really... [is vague like whoa] I'm a traveler, you see.

[redpaperfan.livejournal.com]

[ eyebrow raise. ]

Huh.

[ he was unaware there was a magic word. ]

[bit_impossible]

Hmm? [wonders what the look is for]

[redpaperfan.livejournal.com]

What are you planning to do, to stop him?

[ a sincere enough question; he's mentally laying out individual's skills to see what will be useful, against the captain or in preserving lives. ]

[bit_impossible]

Do whatever I can to stop him from shutting life support off to the entire ship, first of all. [again with the vagueness--in truth, there's not entirely much he can do at the moment, what with the remaining levels still aggravatingly off-limits to him. he'd move heaven and earth to get to that captain right now if he could]

[redpaperfan.livejournal.com]

[ Sasuke just nods. He can understand the sentiment... and the vagueness. It's interesting to note another mood for the Doctor. Sasuke knows so little of him. ]

[katsuragi-yako.livejournal.com]

[ Well it's just been interesting announcement after interesting announcement. ]

[bit_impossible]

[switches his tone] Ah, Miss Yako! Haven't seen you for a while. How are you holding up?

[katsuragi-yako.livejournal.com]

I'm... [ confused over the sudden change in tone; ] fine! My couch is a bit torn up, and I'm glad to be back to my normal self. How've you been, Doctor?

[bit_impossible]

Torn...up? Were you terribly destructive as a child?

I've been better. I'll be feeling much more at ease once this Captain is removed.

[katsuragi-yako.livejournal.com]

More like... a few mountain lion cubs used it as a playtoy for a while.

We all will. I hope we can... reach him soon.

[bit_impossible]

Mountain lion cubs? Sounds like you've had an interesting time... Be glad it wasn't wolves!

[katsuragi-yako.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah... They'd probably have been far worse.

[distantallure.livejournal.com]

And how do you plan to stop him?

[bit_impossible]

Aww, there's no fun in telling everyone what I'm going to do. [smiles mischievously]

[distantallure.livejournal.com]

If you're going to do anything at all.

[bit_impossible]

Just watch me. [continues to smile] This plan will take some time to put into effect, however.

[distantallure.livejournal.com]

Hm. [Appears... unconvinced.]

[killrush.livejournal.com]

I give no warning and neither should you.

[bit_impossible]

He won't get another.

[killrush.livejournal.com]

...

No. He will not.
