WARNINGS: One frantic Archivist, TBA

Jon's face hurts when he wakes up. Funny, he doesn't remember going to sleep. Not that he sleeps often, but he doesn't even remember lying down. And yet here he is, pushing himself up from a comparably comfortable surface only to look around squinting for a moment before realization hits.

And suddenly he is wide away and almost scrambling out of his assigned bed and out of the room he easily recognizes as the Vanquish's crew quarters and further onward until he reaches the cockpit. Which is, of course, empty. It shouldn't be empty. This ship used to have a pilot. Though thinking about it, Jon will have to admit that he hasn't seen the man in a while. He hasn't seen Steve in quite some time as well...

The thought lingers with the Archivist for a moment longer, but his lament is cut short by the sound of his phone and he checks the message, then looks up at the portal and winces, hand clenching around his communication device before Jon starts to frantically look around the cockpit until he finds what appears to be the button to activate the ship's intercom. The transmission initially struggles through some static, but after a moment settles once Jon calms himself enough to bark into the speaker.

"Fine. FINE! I mean... shit. If anyone on board of this ship can hear me, I need someone who can fly this dreadful thing up here in the cockpit - Quickly!"

"I haven't met Tony yet," Ezra interjects, looking curious.

Then he peers at his very tall and blue shipmate, keeping that curious expression. "Are you...military of some kind?"

[kree_soldieress]

"You have not met Stark? That is impressive to have avoided," Lauri-Ell admits, frowning at the young man.

Her arms crossed over her chest, Lauri-Ell tilting her head as she considers this dilemma. How does she protect all of these unwise people?

"Tell me, Jon, what datapoint do you possess?"

[beholding_archivist]

Ezra pointing out that he hasn't met Tony yet and Lauri-Ell's following observation reduces Jon's input on the matter to an amused little sound before he adds: "I'm certain you will know exactly what I mean once you have met him." Tony leaves certain impressions with people.

The question Lauri-Ell directs at him, has Jon look back at her quizzically. "Me? At the moment it's communications." And so far that one has worked out for him. "Why?"

[kree_soldieress]

"You will," Lauri-Ell agrees with Jon. He was... an intense man.

Jon, though, had exactly what Lauri-Ell wished to hear.

"Can you tell if our communicators will work here when we are not off of our ships? Can we track each other? Kree used such signals for homing beacons."

[beholding_archivist]

At that suggestion, Jon grimaces disapprovingly. "Well. I certainly hope there is no way to track anyone without them sending us their location first." While he can see the potential use for being able to do such a thing, the idea of everyone simply being able to spy on everyone does not sit well with Jon.

"But I do believe that we are indeed able to communicate with one another."

[kree_soldieress]

Well, that is a point, and she tilts her head to consider that one as well. How to deal with it.

"I do agree that it could be trouble in the long run. I don't suppose someone can hit an emergency beacon? Can this be created?"

Her jobs, or so she has told herself, is to worry over the others. This seemed more true since the hangar incident. People can be... very reckless here.

[beholding_archivist]

"Now that's agreeable and perfectly doable." Jon nods, expression relaxing again. "It's a basic feature on practically any modern phone."

So that's something he is fine with.

[kree_soldieress]

Ah, well, it's very happy to hear that it is possible.

"That would be good, I think. Thank you if you're willing to do it. I would like to be able to get to people to help them if it's possible."

[beholding_archivist]

Jon gives Lauri-Ell a quiet look that lingers for just about a moment before he sighs lightly, but nods again. "Right. I... Will see what I can do."

He gestures towards the back part of the ship before turning said direction to leave the cockpit and find himself a seat to fiddle with his phone. "I'll let you know when I'm done."

[kree_soldieress]

“You have my gratitude,” Lauri-ELL agrees with a smile and a nod. She turns to regard Ezra again, but with the man mostly silent and focused she fears it would be imprudent to bother him.

“I believe I shall prepare myself. I hope no one on the planet takes offense to me carrying the Universal Weapon.”

But in a strange place, she would feel more comfortable if she had it in hand. Especially given she had charges to protect.

“I ask your forgiveness at my departure.”
