Varel ignored the chatter over the shared com, blissfully unaware of the relationship dynamics occurring behind her back. Instead she chose to step carefully out into the doorway, warily glancing both ways.
Twenty one combadges from the Demeter...
The vulcan drew in a breath, holding it for a moment and releasing it as she suppressed her emotions from reaching the surface. Should her focus falter now, there was always the possibility that number could grow after all. She glanced down at her scanner again, remaining as still as a statue that had been erected to embellish the entryway to the bridge.

Scrappy drills a intense gaze at him now and shakes her head, mouthing a single word at him.
'No!'
She inwardly prayed he would know to back away...this area was not in need of Jon-crashy-over the top emotional-Im a guy I can help as things blow up around him- help. Surely he would catch her meaning and step back and allow Arisawa to just talk to Xyl....right?? right? This is Jon...
Scrappy sighed.
We're doomed...

Jon holds his hands up in a surrender like gesture. He wasn't interested in getting on Denise's bad side again, especially given where they were...he would just talk to Xylvarenn about this once they returned to the ship. He nods to her mouthing.

Therese keeps focusing on what she is doing, Unaware of the dangers looming and the wrath risking being unleashes.
"Alright, the link should be up now. But don't do this if it is not safe, Sery. I have not seen anything remotely like this since... euhmm. Just be careful, okey?"

Arisawa looked at Scrappy "What am I supposed to say exactly? Isn't this a great vacuum we're in together...or maybe hey you know how we talked about being friends the other day well I'd like more...really Therese is dacades younger than me in biological terms and Xylvarenn is centuries older in mental terms."
She shook her head, "Better off with weapons, drones, and electronics. Those things at least I understand."

Scrappy listened to her as she awaited the drones to be beamed down to them by Stoggins. She squinted at Arisawa and sighed as she listened. "Okay...first off.."
"Yeah...look I am probably the last person to talk to about relationships...I mean how i feel about people is sorta well known aboard ship." She smirked. "Its taught to new arrivals as part of the 'welcome to the Sentinel here is how to stay alive' lecture. I get that...okay?"
"I also know my own ...well lets call it a relationship is ...um, complicated to put it mildly...however I do know a few things and can see where this is going..."
"Rook....first off..." She holds up one finger. "I mean aren't you supposed to let her know you want to be more than friends? I mean that is sorta the key component to making the device function yes? I mean the right machine for the correct purpose?"
"I mean how is she supposed to know if you don't tell her??" She shakes her head and holds up a second gloved finger. "Now second..you have a new huge problem that is about to land on this supposed hidden torch you are carrying for her..."
She looks over to Jon and back to Arisawa "Dudley Do-Right over there has picked up on it...and despite all non verbal signs from nature that I am gonna skin him alive should he get involved...he is going to lead the charge to champion what he thinks is a pending cute couple..."
"See Cameron is like a virus these days..he is happy with Alice and he wants every other couple..pending, potential or otherwise to feel the same happiness..." she makes a face. "Its sickening...this happens to some couples after the en-cage-ment stage...he is gonna go all Johnny appleseed to try and help grow such happiness..."
She looks up at Arisawa, "Translation...Cameron is so gonna blab the very instant the away mission is over...he is an arrow in flight now...so if you don't address this...she is gonna find out quite soon...even if she disbelieves him..."
She makes another face. "The seed is gonna be planted...and that takes you into another new level...ready or not..."

Arisawa sighed and tried to pretend she hadn't heard Scrappy besides, what had she said when she saw Xylvarenn last? "Please do not take this wrong. I am very very happy you are here, both on the ship in general... and that you come to see me, It is really sweet and makes me happy" No wait that was what Xylvarenn has said to her and she'd said something like, "We'll take it slow." and she guessed that by taking it slow she'd really meant she would back off. The last thing Arisawa needed or wanted were these darn issues. She turned to Scrappy and said, "He can think what he wants, and just because I have these stupid feelings doesn't mean I have toact on them. I mean really I knew Xylvarenn when HE was my captain and I never let him know I liked him, mostly because he was one night sort, but that's not the point. The point here is that I'm crap with relationships and maybe we'd be better of as we are even if I do think she's pretty." She cursed to herself in Gaelic and wished she'd been born a Vulcan. She focused on sending the drone through the water coolant systems and groaned one of the large junction boxes for the ship was utterly ripped apart. She stood and grabbed Scrappy making sure her com was on public as she said, "We'll need to fix a junction box a level down. Maybe Varel can come and keep a lookout..."

"That would be required. I do not want any teams without a security escort while we remain on this craft," Varel replied tonelessly over the com, still not looking back at them. "We have no concrete evidence that whatever entity is responsible for our present predicament has truly ceased hostilities, or that the entity we encountered in the cargo hold was even the one truly responsible."

Scrappy watched her closely and sighed and set her jaw. Great. She thought to herself, The river De-Nile...
Scrappy lowered her head, her helmet dipping some as her shoulders slumped. She sighed loudly. She doesn't see it....good god...why me...She opened her mouth to speak on private com still when..
Scrappy, knelt there are she watching on her PADD as their drone arrived at the junction box. Christ on a clam shell...that is a freaking mess...its a simplistic system but that damage alone was pretty bad. She also knew that though this needed to be done, she had despised Rook far less than any these days and she had to warn her about the impending disaster rushing towards her....Hurricane Cameron. She spun her helmet around to be blunt and direct with Arisawa as she is grabbed. The other woman easily lifts little Denise to her feet as well.
Denise's jaw dropped as she watched Arisawa publicly announce where they were off too...in an effort to change the subject and get back on task, while within the belly of a ship that had been dead for more than two centuries.
Subtle....and now with Varel tagging along...which Scrappy sneered a smile to the security officer and her comment, knelt to pick up her Tool kit. She keyed her suit com to Arisawa.
"You aren't thinking clearly here...you are leaving her alone with him...." She sealed her tool kit. "Look Rook...."
"He means well...he does...he will want to do this right....he will try to do it right...and like always it is going to blow up in his face and all of the debris is going fall onto you...:
"I've seen this before....its not pretty..."
