I appreciate that everyone has been taking the opportunity to apologize and recuperate from what happened, [And she means that, even if she won't be apologizing for anything herself. It wasn't her. She wasn't that person, and it's a lot easier to just bury everything and move on instead of letting it linger.] But has anyone really discussed the fact that what happened on that other Barge could potentially happen here? I mean, obviously if it did, we wouldn't exactly have much to do other than wait it out if the Admiral lost his ability to send us home, but...

[But nothing, really, besides one thing that she hasn't seen anyone mention anywhere public.]

Did anyone actually get through the door?

[Private Separately to Cassel + Chris]

Let me know if you need anything.

Just concern. Nothing particularly exciting.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

Right. Okay.

I'm thinking about pulling something on Bond to get him back. Mind if I run it by you first?

[Private]

[bitteraftertaste]

Alright. Thank you for asking.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

I'm thinking about Corgi-bombing him.

[Private]

[bitteraftertaste]

Corgi-bombing?

[Private]

[mistconduct]

It's kind of an inside joke. But the gist is we get Cassel, or we wait for a good port. And then when he's out, we fill his room with Corgi puppies.

[Private]

[bitteraftertaste]

We have a cat. And since he isn't going to be looking after any puppies that get dumped on him, which means I'd probably wind up being responsible for them, and I have no idea how we'd get rid of them without being inhumane, I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Plush corgis might be a better idea.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

We should make it a goddamn decorating theme.

Stickers everywhere. And a Corgi rug.

[Private]

[bitteraftertaste]

If nothing else, it would be an impressive attempt.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

Dude. Vesper. You've gotta distract him for me. I have to make this happen.


Can we put your cat in a dog costume?

[Private]

[bitteraftertaste]

I think I have to draw the line there.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

Vesper! This is important.

[Private]

[bitteraftertaste]

So is the continued happiness of my cat.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

No one gives a shit about your stupid cat!

[Private]

[bitteraftertaste]

Cassel and I do. And James, even though he'll deny it.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

Cassel's deluded and you're weird. And cats love costumes.

[Private]

[bitteraftertaste]

I don't think you've had much experience with cats.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

My dad never let me get a pet.

[Private]

[bitteraftertaste]

Why not?

[Private]

[mistconduct]

I dunno. Pets don't really go with his house.

[Private]

[bitteraftertaste]

That's too bad. You've probably missed out on some essential life lessons.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

Lessons like what?

[Private]

[bitteraftertaste]

Pets help give you something to care about other than yourself, something that loves you unconditionally, they give you someone you can turn to when you're upset or worried.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

Oh. I had those.

They were called bodyguards.
