Sneakery [Closed]

[gogopowersuit.livejournal.com]

Although she was the first to admit there were some interesting new crew mates, Samus had wasted too much time at the meet-and-greet. She had important business to attend to. Finding Sam was currently at the top of her list for more reasons than one. While she didn't care if her commanding officers approved of her methods, she did care whether or not they respected her as a professional. Sam's escape was a blow to her reputation. She would not allow his escape to completely destroy the trust she had earned as a member of ship security.

She set off on a comprehensive search of the ship, starting in a rather odd place: the vents. She had not chosen this beginning arbitrarily, however. She could move around them with surprising speed, and they gave her access to anywhere Sam could be hiding. Vents also provided extra stealth, a vital part of a successful search.

However, she was completely unaware that another crew member had also been crawling around up there...

"Habit," easy enough answer. One that doesn't require too much explaining. He still had his gun out, just in case. It is better to be safe than sorry.

"You in to get hurry somewhere?" Snake gave no indication he was going to move from his spot. Not forward or back. If she wanted by, she'd have to go around or squeeze past. Or--convince Snake to move.

Was he really pointing a gun at her in a vent? She couldn't exactly attack him. Well, unless she pulled out her gun...

Samus decided it'd be best not to encourage a firefight in such closed quarters. She held her ground.

"That way." Samus points behind Snake. "So if you could move..."

Though, those words sounded less like a suggestion and more like a demand.

Hey, it is just his tranq rounds. Not that she would know his weapon is a modified beretta. But he had no wish to have to use it. He narrowed his eyes at her, but seemed to relax.

His eyes briefly went to the side as if to glance behind him without moving his head, "Rather not." Snake doesn't take well to demands, "Tell me why first, then maybe."

"I have to get that way," which is a perfectly legitimate reason in the World of Samus.

"Yeah? Not much of a reason," Snake stubbornly refuses to move. He crawled a long way through the bowels of the ship to get here. ...bowels of the ship that look suspiciously like bowels. He tried not to think about that too much.

"You asked for a reason, I gave you one." Samus can be just as stubborn.

"Now either you can waste time staying there or just move and let me pass."
