Gonna try and liveblog this event. Morse is giving out a rousing speech!

Gotta learn how to do public speaking like her.

[rollerderbydropout]

HEY ZERO WATCH THIS DRIVE

//SHARKO\\

Well, apparently they've found our darling Siggy.

CORSAIR is sending a small fucking army on a long haul to the Diaspora, including Booker's Macguyver. A darling ex of mine is sending me the livestream.

It will be satisfying to watch them all get acquainted with the airlock, I suppose. This is a suicide mission, after all.

Signal is a Wolf, and they are Fools to believe themselves prepared.

Zero~

[rollerderbydropout]

THEYRE LIVESTREAMING THIS MISSION!??!

WOO!

MS MORSE MAKE SURE THEY GET MY GOOD SIDE !!

Hey. I don't know you very well, but you seem like you could use this.

I'm gonna tell you something my teacher told me. It's gonna go against everything that everyone else says—but that's probably why it's so important.

That feeling in your gut when something wrong happens? That sense of pain you get when you find out that someone's gotten hurt? Don't lose that. No matter what comes, remember that things should be better.

Utopia is a verb.

|| KARATEKA ||

i dont think i . had that, before. it didnth urt, htis never hurt before, i never felt this sinking feeling or the fear or the pain- i just did-whateveri wanted.

now i cant do that, ic ant run away, i cant look away it's terrifying but maybe that's a good thing

things hsould be better, and i have the ability to make them better

i dont know you very well but ill keep your words lclose at heart promise

[UPLOADING PRINT CODES...]

[The file attached holds print codes that would take an infinitesimally small amount of filament to produce. It creates two little statuettes, perhaps six inches tall, each.]

hey buddy. hope ur doin good on the Tenacity.

i wish i could be there. i reely do. id luv 2 b there when that fuckin bastards chassis cracks open. wen their finally put down liek the dog they r.

but i cant. im just too far away. and 2 many peopl r relying on me. 2 help them. 2 protect em. U understand that tho rite? now that ur finally doin the same thing?

im so proud of u Myles Sharko. 4 bein brave. 4 fightin the good fite finally. ur a good monster.

gotta ask u 4 2 favors. feels a lil bad 2 ask u 4 things since i cant come but i think i earned a bit of selfish by bein all responsible and stayin were im most needed.

1st one: live. fite liek uve never fought b4 Myles. b the vengeful beast i know u can b. tear that evil fucker and its goons apart and come home safe. wen all this fuckin bullshit is over we can finally practice skating 2gether

2nd one: i wanna be there. with u. even just in sum tiny way that i cant MAUL in. so print this. maybe itll help. grant u luck or some shit.

luv u buddy. and I believe in u. always hav. <3

[When printed, it is clear that the statuettes were made in a workshop, the originals having been welded and pieced together from scrap metal, broken bits of weaponry, of machinery. Recycled destruction used to build something new. The small models depict two figures: a lioness, and a shark with little legs. The lioness extends a single paw to the side, which can be linked to the shark's fin as if they were holding hands. The sharks other fin holds some kind of flat, square box. The artistry is somewhat unpracticed, so it takes a while to figure out, but eventually you realize that it is, in fact, a pizza box.]

[ A still photo taken of the inside of an Enkidu's cockpit. The controls have been repaired, the central HUD cleaned up and refined. In front of the front-facing monitor, perched up on the effective 'dashboard', are the two figurines. Fin-in-paw, the lioness and the shark face forwards, towards the screen, towards the fight to come. In the corner of the photo, Myles leans just into frame, holding two thumbs up towards the camera. ] [ His eyes are red and puffy. ]

[ Attached audio log; Beginning playback. ]

MYLES — "If you believe in me, that's enough."

MYLES — "I can't promise you anything, Sally- I want to, of course, I want to laugh and slap your back and tell you I'll live, I'll come home, I'll be okay— but that wouldn't be fair, you know? I can't lie to you, I can't pretend I'm not terrified-"

MYLES — "But if, just this once, someone believes in me, believes I can do the right thing, believes I'm making the right choice—"

MYLES — "Then maybe, it will be okay. I'll give it everything I've got, I'll fight for the two of us, and I'll fight for everyone behind us."

[ A moment's pause. A shaking, shuddering exhale. Myles sniffles. ]

[ Suddenly, his voice is softer. Meager. It doesn't quite sound like Myles; The tone is too mild, too old, too weary. ] MYLES — "I'll do it, just because you told me to." MYLES — "You know I don't want to. I don't want to fight, I don't want to do this, I don't want to- die- but after everything I've done, isn't this- I guess, the only right thing to do? I'm not- I wasn't supposed to be a monster. But I am- and not the good sort like you are. I hurt, so many good people, so- so many people-- that might have, maybe, meant more than I did, in the grand scheme of things. I hurt people, and I keep, constantly, hurting people-" [ Myles's breath audibly hitches as though he were fighting back the urge to cry. ] MYLES — "-and I don't even know why I do it." MYLES — "I didn't want everything to catch up with me like this, I didn't want to get tangled up with Signal, I just, I thought CORSAIR would be a quick and easy way to escape the last fuck-up, the last stupid thing I did to fuck over everyone I cared about-" MYLES — "But now, running away hurts too badly. I don't want to leave, I don't want to start over. I want to try and stay, to fix what I did, to protect the people that care about me, to earn the forgiveness they've shown me-"

MYLES — "So, I'll do it; I'll live." MYLES — "And when we finally catch that fucker, I'll make sure that little lioness is the last thing it sees." [ Myles laughs, softly- ] MYLES — I'll tell it, SINGED sends her regards."

[Miss Morse?]

Yes STABBY?

[If We Successfully Bring Signal In]

[Why A Trial?]

[It Will Be Found Guilty]

[The Evidence Is All There]

[Why Risk It?]

Because... I won't just dole out what I see as justice. We'll have a trial and then hand them off to Union. Like we should have so long ago.

[Commodore Required Her Ghost Lancers]

[Even If Signal Wasn't Her Personal One]

Doesn't change that we should have done something.

[I Am Not Disagreeing]

[But What If We Dole Our Justice]

[Only Fitting For CORSAIR To Handle It's Problems]

But we promise-

[Think On It]

[Stopping The Killing Might Require One More]

STABBY-

[Think]

[Choose When The Time Comes]

[Sleep Well Miss Morse]

Night STABBY....
