[ 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.

What's this port everyone's been talking about? Sounds like it was a rough ride.

[Lua's not entirely sure how genuine this is, so is really slow to respond, and her words even come out slowly, like she's only saying this to be polite. She's still thinking of Medusa watching her die like she needs to get it over with, and even though it's mostly healed up by now, her breathing starts to hurt worse, and she's breathing quicker now in spite of how calm she's trying to stay.]

So it was just that place, right? [She's not addressing the comment about uselessness.]

Maybe.

If you mean it.
