[nakesnakecobracobra]

[ Video ]

[ Medusa addresses the network solemnly. She’s recovered from her death toll, and considering she hasn’t been attacked she thinks it’s safe to show her face again. ]

I want to… apologize, for any trouble I caused during port. [ She forces the word ‘apologize’ out, like the very idea sickens her. In reality, this is all a planned speech, but she makes it sound candid, organic. ] I wasn’t myself.

[ She pauses, and looking very much like this has been forced out of her, she adds: ]

I do have some restraint.

[ Private to Red ]

Are you happy now? [ She sneers. ] Did it make you feel better?

[ Private to Lua ]

[ She looks just a touch less grudging now. Almost more genuine. ]

I didn’t mean what I said before. You’re not entirely useless.

Can I ask what those are?

[nakesnakecobracobra]

You can. I wouldn't answer you if you did.

[ukan]

[Snort] Well, now I can save my breath.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

My name is Medusa.

[ukan]

I'm Lark. It's nice to meet you, Medusa. [And he wonders about that name. But all things in good time.]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

A pleasure, I'm sure. Welcome to your afterlife.
