<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/zvP7tJU.jpg?1)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Kassandra Ives<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Aboard the<em>Parallax</em>.<br/><strong>Content:</strong>Having just abducted the dude.<br/><hr/>Ashur was as patronizing as Kass was reckless. More talk than action unless it was sex, though both versions of the man suited her fine. She wasn’t entirely disconnected from the reality that there was a time and place for diplomacy. Mostly, the contention was over which occasions warranted it.<br/><br/>With Kass, diplomacy was garnish. Conversely, it was Ashur’s bread and butter and be damned the man that didn’t agree, ironic as that was.<br/><br/>“Yes, fine.” She said flippantly.<br/><br/>“Excuse us a moment.” She added to Dannilov. Her tone was abrupt, but abrupt seemed to be her Modus Operandi.<br/><br/>Dannilov appeared…imperious, and she supposed he’d just sit here and continue being imperious for now.  To be assured that he remained passive, she left the remote to the zapper with Adams before taking her leave of the bridge.<br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/zA2NTIZ.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Indira Tate<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Aboard the<em>Parallax</em>.<br/><strong>Content:</strong>Checking on the dude.<br/><hr/>Indira Tate was the Medical Officer aboard the<em>Parallax</em>, and her willingness to pants the man notwithstanding, seemed a gentler sort. With Kass and Ashur departed she had the bridge and made peremptory scan of the people and activities before turning her attention to Dannilov.<br/><br/>“Dannilov, is it?”<br/><br/>For the first time since boarding, he was offered common courtesy. No threats, and no ultimatums.<br/><br/>She slipped quietly into a chair near his, close enough for companionable conversation but not close enough for him to reach her. She was good-natured, not stupid.<br/><br/>“Are you okay?”<br/><br/>He seemed to weather Kass’ abuse with aplomb, but physical well-being was not the only thing to be taken into consideration.<br/>
