[As the feed flashes on Beatrix looks at the camera head-on, head slightly tilted and her lips in a thin line. She's sequestered in her cabin and looks tired but is steely-eyed as ever, emotion shoved far out of the way. There are more important things to get to.] How bad was it for you? Any damage done? [No mention of her public and sadistic threat. She doesn't see why it would be an issue.]
[Locked to Kon and Steph]
Tell me what happened to you. Please say you're all right.
[Locked to Arya]
Check in. Were you harmed or sent to Zero during the takeover?
[Locked to Ben]
Do I assume correctly in guessing we need to talk?
[Locked to Chris]
... Jesus fuck. [Enough said.]
[Locked to Riddick and Slade]
[Beatrix had threatened the partial truth out of Narvin easily enough, although he'd said nothing to incriminate either of them. Still, she has a sneaking suspicion they were playing her. There's still respect for both of them there, but she is Not Amused. Flatly, face and eyes blank:] Go ahead. Whatever you're going to say, say it.
[Locked to Narvin]
You're a son of a bitch, you know that? [She glares at the camera, but her tone's more resigned and annoyed than malicious.] How's the eye?

How Hammurabian. One death for each person killed by the Barge while it was under her control?
[He's suddenly reminded of Leela, who was so determined to see a murderer receive justice and die regardless of what it cost her.]
I appreciate your desire for justice, but I'm a pragmatist first and foremost. And as far as I can see, Miss Sato's death now won't benefit the ship. She'll suffer, she'll death toll, and nothing will change. Meanwhile, killing her will cause trouble for you, your warden, and whatever unfortunate is assigned to be Miss Sato's warden.

Date: 2013-04-02 02:07 pm (UTC)Why not? If there's anything unfair in that I've yet to see it.
[There's little difference between her outlook and Bea's. She could explain to Narvin that the simple act of killing someone changes everything, that bringing them back may do little to remedy that. That this isn't about the betterment of the ship, this is out of respect for the people on board who suffered and deserve to see their tormenter suffer in turn.
That it's about satisfaction.
But he's a pragmatist, and the more he says the less she thinks he'll understand it.]
Understood.

Date: 2013-04-02 09:28 pm (UTC)Right now Miss Sato probably wouldn't even fight you.
[Private]
Date: 2013-04-04 07:35 am (UTC)That isn't the point.
[Private]
Date: 2013-04-04 08:03 am (UTC)I know that you want justice. And Miss Sato may indeed deserve to suffer. But I can't condone it. Not like this. If she were condemned by a jury, that would be different.
