( her face might not be recognizable, as the last time they'd spoken, she'd been too sick to be seen. now that she has quite recovered, elizabeth sees no reason to avoid using her preferred method of contact other than speaking face to face. she effects a small smile, so that her general state of unhappiness cannot be read easily by another, and exhales quietly before speaking. )
Good day, my lady. I would thank you again for your part in curing us all of that terrible plague.
[this is getting ridiculous, and raven's post on the network has only served to remind him of how irritating it is to not be able to speak. or, not being able to speak well anyway.
which was honestly more annoying that losing his voice altogether. and while his voice is slowly coming back, he doesn't want to risk finding themselves in this sort of situation again, should something similar happen. he can't put it past happening on this ship, really.
jasper looks down at his communicator as he contemplates sending raven a text to talk about it, but that is seriously idiotic when she's sitting in the same room, isn't it? so instead he stands and walks over to sit himself down next to raven, quite close to her, really, and forces his vocal chords to eke out a very weak:] Non verbal communication. We need to come up with one.
[even if neither of them lost the ability to speak again, it couldn't hurt to have a secret way to communicate, could it?]
Just double-checking: you're just trying to get some helpful details from the nice lady who's tracking us and not actually planning to definitely contact her, right?
[something's been wrong with raven since last jump, something that jasper doesn't quite understand, and it's only gotten worse this jump. he's tried to wait for answers, tried to just be there, but while raven isn't outright avoiding him right now, she's not exactly making things easy for him either.
jasper almost misses when it was just him and raven up here. he's thrilled to see all of his friends, obviously, of course he is, but things seemed simpler back then. he misses that, at least.]
is your cube of living flesh still alive and accounted for and would you mind surrendering it for a time? if you are very invested in its well-being I won't bring it any permanent harm
Not much here, just doing an awesome job. You know, basically what you hired me for. I should probably actually get a raise because the job that I'm doing is so awesome.
Oh wait, you're not paying me.
Anyway, this guy needs a cryo atmosphere because he's a yeti or something. Is tweaking temperatures or making space coolers within our scope?
text + audio.
Think this is something you can do?

know that the only thing I can be certain of is that it employs deceit
that said, I hope it answers your questions
and that you give nothing away without something in return
