[ The Forge starts up and the first thing the audience is permitted to see is Priscilla sitting upon a bed that's not her own. Books surround her, some opened and some closed, her nose crinkled slightly in an expression of marked concentration. There is a soft chuckle from the other side of the camera.

[IGNORING THE RIDICULOUS TOMFOOLERY GOING ON, he asks a real question:] How many years has this been going on, exactly?

Then perhaps you should not leave so much room for misinterpretation.

[Teeth. Grinding. Together.] Very well. Then listen carefully, so you fully understand this: my title is a reflection of my experiences, and of the work I've done to earn it.

That is what gives it value.

If you refuse to acknowledge that, you choose to disrespect what I stand for.

I'm having difficulty believing you're a Captain when you're incapable of explaining yourself in a manner that is not discourteous.

What makes you deserving of your titles when others from their world have forsaken their own upon coming here? Your past experiences are relevant in so far as the way they have shaped you, not by way of the rewards they have bestowed upon you, and not the glory they have attached to your name. If you think you deserve such titles, do something here, now, to prove that you're worthy of them.

It is disrespectful of you to expect everyone to simply take your word for your worth when you are a stranger to so many.

Finding out the truth of our imprisonment, and how this place operates is the most important matter right now, yes. [But still so pissy ;;]

Voice

[swordofthenorth]

Splendid.

I had a feeling you wouldn't disappoint.

Voice

[turquoice]

I'll be in the library.

Voice

[swordofthenorth]

I'll meet you there, unless you have any objections?

Voice

[turquoice]

Not yet.

Voice

[swordofthenorth]

Good.

[ They would be a waste of time, anyways. ]
