➢ 008 [video]

[looksfine]

 [When Aya's face appears on the Network, there's something different about it.  Usually, she addresses the masses with her impassive, neutral expression and tone.  But today?  Today, there is a tiny, but noticeable spark of...something in her eyes.]

[Her blue, hopeful eyes.]

This is Green Lantern Aya, reporting in.  The signal is unencrypted for maximum availability, but can be transferred to a more secure channel upon request.

[She pauses for a moment, as if deliberating something.]

Interceptor, do you read me?  Hal Jordan?  Sergeant Kilowag?  [Then, in a slightly softer tone:] ...Razer?





((ooc: Aya's 4th Wall post.  Obviously, castmates would receive all the love, but anybody and everybody is welcome to respond for whatever reason!))

Why have you agreed to board this ship?

[looksfine]

Because it was an opportunity to continue doing what is right.

[awayfromdread]

I fail to see how that is not possible while on Oa.

[looksfine]

Green Lantern Hal Jordan had departed for Earth. Sergeant Kilowag was reassigned to overseeing new recruit training.

Had I not left, I would have been...obsolete.

[awayfromdread]

You realize I could have gone with you.

[There's not a lot he could do on Oa and he hadn't quite decided what to do next.]

[looksfine]

[She pauses. Deliberating.]

...would you have?

[awayfromdread]

I would have considered. It is certainly likely.

[looksfine]

[She actually looks guilty for a moment]

My apologies. I had not considered the possibility.

[awayfromdread]

In the future, tell me when you're leaving for long periods of time. Jordan would have blamed me for your disappearance.

[And he'd worry. :((((]

[looksfine]

Why would be blame you?

[awayfromdread]

Because I stayed on Oa, and the Bolovaxian has other duties.

[Not that looking after her is a duty. Well, not only a duty.]

[looksfine]

I still do not see the issue.

It was my decision to leave, not yours. Surely, Hall Jordan would understand that.

[awayfromdread]

You are under the assumption that Hal Jordan always acts rationally.

[looksfine]

[She opens her mouth to immediately respond, before pausing. Scanning her database for the most relevant memories.]

...point noted.

[awayfromdread]

[He smirks. Almost like this is an inside joke.]

You will... look after yourself, yes?

[looksfine]

Myself, and those I have come to know as friends.

[A pause, and the next words come out just a fraction softer.]

You as well?

[awayfromdread]

[He nods.]

There is no need to worry about my safety.

[looksfine]

[Past evidence would suggest otherwise.]

[Though, for once, Aya favors the silent approach. She merely nods in acknowledgement of his statement.]

I will return when my duties here have been fulfilled.

[awayfromdread]

I will look after the others in your absence.

["And I'll be waiting."]

[looksfine]

Thank you.

[For everything.]

[awayfromdread]

[He nods once and ends the feed.

"Good luck."]
