[For a second she just feels like now what, after everything else that's been happening this month. But if Kirk thinks she should know something, then she should probably know it, and she's already got a head of information people don't want spread around. She knows how to deal with it.]
You want this locked? Or does this need to be in person.
[he considers it for a moment, then concedes. he doubts he couldn't make an encryption someone could hack easily, but then, there are plenty of new faces he doesn't know around these days.]
[She's there in the time she'd given, always prompt, even with the way she's rebuilding up from the mess at the beginning of the month. At the door, she pauses, bending down to pick up Chubbs, carrying the chihuahua in with her while the rest of the dogs wait out in the corridor. It's not her room, she won't pile dogs in.]
This gonna be better or worse than more black holes and hellbeasts?
[It's half a joke, even if the smile it's given with is only slight and very tired.]
[She doesn't know ships. Doesn't know space. That was one thing she was pretty sure Kirk was always going to have better than her, but she didn't mind so much.]
[there's something wry in his voice. they hadn't thought it was, either, unless it was an AI, or an external force. but it seemed to be inside the ship.]
[They stopped at those stations, but if they've got no idea who (or what) is directing the ship, they've also got no idea if it ever stops. She takes a breath, scrubbing one hand back through her hair, and then finally takes his offer to sit on the edge of the bed.]
[She almost says something about the fact he'd told Edgeworth before her, but instead just shoots him a look before skipping past it.]
Need to keep it under wraps. Don't need another stupid mutiny attempt.
[And honestly, she's starting to think control of the ship is one of the only things stopping people from making attempts on Ward and Resnik themselves.]
[it only happened because he was forced to bring it up in conversation, since Edgeworth himself had been suggesting mutiny, but he nods, because she doesn't ask.]
My thoughts exactly. [he exhales] Edgeworth seemed to think we should let people know, that it might have them view Ward and Resnik differently. [blue eyes move to her face] I think you understand better why I don't agree with that.
Edgeworth still thinks people are gonna act like they do in his textbooks, most of the time.
[It's not dismissive of his skills, and he'd gotten better about the black and white outlook, but some of it still lingered, and he hadn't been here as long as they had.]

Depends on your definition of worse. You might want to sit down.

Seriously?

The ship pilots itself.

You mean we're just... drifting?
[She doesn't know ships. Doesn't know space. That was one thing she was pretty sure Kirk was always going to have better than her, but she didn't mind so much.]
no subject
No. I mean Ward and Resnik aren't flying this ship. It's flying itself, and we don't know where it's flying to.
no subject
Is that even possible?

No, we're going somewhere. We aren't drifting. Something is controlling this ship, otherwise we couldn't have stopped at Tansei and Strela.
no subject
Who knows?

[he folds his arms over his chest, watching her.]
It's the reason we can't stop the jumps.

[he says, and something sly creeps into his tone there. he doubts that would change about Edgeworth even if he was up here for years.]
