People were talking about wanting a report on what actually happened, and I can't give any details about what went down in the CES or when it came to actually finding the Admiral because I wasn't there, but as far as taking the bridge back, this is what I've got:

Not long after people were stuck in the CES and the crew members became hostile, John Connor, Robert Capa, Una Persson, Comrade O'Brien and I decided we needed to get into the interior of the ship to try and get to the bridge. Una was teleported to the CES by Flagg after making an attempt to get to the bridge directly. After that failed, the rest of us went into the ship's interior and after a while - we're not sure how long, time distorted itself while we were down there - O'Brien turned around to try a reset of the ship's defenses. Not long after, Connor, Capa and I made it to the bridge, confronted Flagg and held down the fort until the Admiral was located, at which point, we were teleported out, presumably all back to our cabins.

That's really all that happened for us. If anyone has questions, feel free to ask.

[Filtered to John, Capa, and O'Brien]

We can't tell people anything specific about the interior of the ship, and especially the bridge. No layouts, no schematics, no details, nothing. I'm not suggesting we submit to a mind wipe or anything drastic like that to keep the information safe, but I'm trusting you to understand why this is vital to the further safety and security of the Barge. There are too many people on board who would abuse any details we were able to give them, and I don't think any of us want to do the crawl to the bridge again if we can help it.

[Filtered to John and Capa]

And let me know how you're doing.

[Private to Jim]

Thanks for letting me borrow your stuff. Do you want me to come drop it off?

[Private to David]

I understand why you took Flagg's deal, but I'm still disappointed in you. And all I could really think of was that Tim was in trouble, and you were supporting the person who put him there. He's the most important person to me on this ship, I needed to get him out of there, and nothing else mattered.

[He doesn't sound mad. This is more or less his backwards attempt at apologizing for slamming you against a wall and Bat-interrogating you. :V]

[Private to Summer]

Do you want to grab a drink later or something? Now that the world isn't ending, I'd kind of like to get used to doing normal stuff again.

[Private to Una]

We need to talk.

We can't even be sure that it would ever be the same again.

Truthfully, I don't really remember details other than running a lot.

But I'm fine, considering.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

I don't remember the layout, but I remember... the rest of it.

Infirmary?

Private

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Which isn't going to help anyone.

I was for a while.

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

No, it's fine, it's...

[He trails off and looks down. He seems to be having difficulty looking Dick in the eye.]

I get it. I fucked up.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

How's Will?

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

He's alive. Death tolling, though. He's pretty out of it.

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Unless you want to be like Tim and keep it forever like a creep.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Am I allowed to? It definitely came in handy.

Re: Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

No but I'll steal Tim's for you.

private - well, he is an inmate and dick, dick. XP

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Make me, comrade.

private - he will ask someone to mindwipe you if he has to :|

[batmanschmatman]

Do you really need me to explain to you why this is a bad idea?

Re: private - and o'brien might just kill anyone who did it.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

No. I know perfectly well why it's a bad idea.

But I also know that this means my silence is exceptionally valuable. So make me.

assumed conversation...

[una_persson]

[...in which Una tells O'Brien "I know what you're doing and just stop, right?" Also gratuitous excuse to use eyeroll icon.]

Private

[una_persson]

I believe so, yes. At your convenience.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

O'Brien's telling me to "make him" keep information about the interior of the Barge private.

[most_feared]

You got a good idea of what the guy looks like?

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah. I couldn't really make out his face, but I could see his eyes and his mouth. Long hair, wavy, denim jacket, jeans, cowboy boots. [Until John shot him and he turned into bugs. :V]

Private

[im-sid.livejournal.com]

Normal sounds fun right now. I could really use a drink.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Awesome. Meet you up there?

[Private]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Was Capa injured?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah. Not seriously, just a concussion and some scrapes and bruises.

( private )

[metallonkardia.livejournal.com]

Fine, in the infirmary still, but I expected that. I fucking hate narcotic painkillers but I'm counting myself lucky McCoy hasn't stunned me and put me on a morphine drip.

[ HE MIGHT BE A LITTLE RX HIGH.. Hence the excessive words. ]

Why the fuck would anyone submit to a mind wipe anyway? And that's fine.

( private )

[batmanschmatman]

It's that bad? [He thought you were just kind of roughed up. :|]

I have no idea. I'm just happy no one's suggested it yet.

Private

[timesbureaucrat]

Are you saying that you, Mr. Connor, Dr. Capa and O'Brien now know a way to the bridge that requires no special or difficult to acquire tools or technology?

Forgive me for pointing out the obvious, but that means you're all just one good flood away from potentially spilling bridge access to every inmate on this ship.

[All the paranoia here. All of it.]

Private

[batmanschmatman]

We don't remember the details. It sucked and it was a lot of perception based attacks, there's no way we could get back there without going in just as blind outside the basic directional theory, and if you'll recall, O'Brien turned around before we got there.

[And if you even think about coming near any of them with your telepathic abilities or your mindwipe tech, Jr. Bat will find out about it and you will be sorry. :V]
