[Amanda is broadcasting from the infirmary, and she looks like hell. She's death-tolling after Hoffman punctured her lung and broke every bone in her body, ending in her neck, and is in agony from head to toe. She's got an oxygen tube in her nose because it hurts to breathe too deeply.]

John introduced me to a lot of things. There were many nights ( Read more... )

[Amanda is looking very self-satisfied, as if the situation at hand is of her doing. She knows it isn't, but it's still gratifying somehow.]

That makes what...three wardens down, now? That sounds about right. How many more will you people see the need to throw at me before you give up?

[Thankfully, Ariadne's not around to read too much into Amanda ( Read more... )

[When the camera switches on, Amanda is seated on a cot in her Level 0 cell, back against the wall. Her clothes are covered in blood, but the Infirmary seems to have kindly washed away what had crusted on her skin and coagulated in her hair. Her neck is bandaged, as is one hand, and her expression seems too empty. There's a thin facade of self- ( Read more... )

The knife, one of the razorblades and enough of that sedative to knock out one person.

Now.

[OOC: Prompted by John Doe's post, where he refers to her. Amanda decides she needs to be able to protect herself again should the need arise. Ros, feel free to assume that they meet and he gives her all this. :3 ]

People of the Barge.

[Hey, look at that! Amanda's back in her room again, and looking as smug as ever.]

I never thought I'd say this, but it's good to be back.

[When she moves around, she does so stiffly, carefully. She's clearly still in some pain. She turns this way and that, to point the camera at various areas of her room. Her still fully-stocked ( Read more... )

[Amanda looks somewhat improved. The area around her nose is no longer swollen, and the bruise is mostly faded to a sickly yellow color. It's healing well, but it will really never look quite the same as it did before the break. She's also got the use of her right arm back, but the chest tubes and ventilator are still present. She raises her ( Read more... )

[Amanda, having been beaten to a pulp by Donny days ago, is finally conscious enough to deliver her message to the Barge. She's speaking from a bed in the infirmary. The infirmary, you ask? Isn't Clapet in there too, you ask right after that? Not to worry, Amanda isn't moving around any time soon and can't get close to him. She's got a badly broken ( Read more... )

[Private to Blonsky]
The device is finished, but I've hit a snag. The only way we'll catch Clapet off-guard is when he's leaving Warren's room, which is several floors below mine. The man is huge; there's no way we could bring him to the game quickly enough to avoid being noticed.

Warren is on your floor, and I say we bring the game to him. Can we ( Read more... )

[VOICE. Private to Rex and Blonsky, individually. She doesn't want either to know who her other allies are.]

Don't forget to pick up a knife in port, if you can. I'll be doing the same.

[WRITTEN. Private to Admiral Claus!]
( Cut for length... )

[Private to Blonsky]

[Amanda's expression is as neutral as she can possibly make it.]

I know it took longer than anticipated to get back in touch with you. Something came up, but I have everything I promised.

[That "something" was Jill Tuck turning up and raising that old mixture of fear and guilt in her again, but that's nobody's business but hers. ( Read more... )
