[It sounds as if she's just finished crying. There's a clink as she drops a spoon onto a dish and she finally speaks up.]

I said...I hope it goes down. [There's a nervous giggle.] But I don't know where down is. [Pause as the ship rumbles a bit. She takes in a trembling breath.] Looks like I was right, though

[Spike just accidentally lit himself on fire while attempting to light a cigarette. And now he's charred looking and a little wet since he fixed it by jumping in the pool.]

And what'd I ever do to you? Fire's bloody deadly, you know!

[greatlightother]

I know that!

[greatlightother]

It would do nothing. The curse is there.

[greatlightother]

I don't care.

[thegooddrjones]

No, Sveta, no. Where are you? Can I come see you? We need to be the light, remember?

[greatlightother]

Leave me alone, Martha.

Private

[thegooddrjones]

You know I can't do that. You're my friend and friends don't leave people alone when things are like this.

Private

[greatlightother]

Martha.

I'm fine.
