The thing you should know is that everyone is in really big trouble. Yeah. Even you.

Ax had escaped the Controllers on board. Brainy had not been so lucky. Neither had Sam and Tim. And who knew how many others on board had Yeerks wrapped around their brains, controlling their every movement, pretending that everything was normal until the time came to strike.

Who do you trust, podlings?

Geoff squints at the fallen man a moment, then shrugs. "Not I, m'lady."

Javert shakes his head. "No better than I know either of you."

"Damn."

It was all she really had left to say. She couldn't think of any reasons why this complete stranger would just threaten her at gunpoint with absolutely no provoking.

"Well," Geoff scratches his head with the tip of his Dracon beam casually, considering the options, "if no one's a better suggestion, why don't we drop this mystery fellow off in the sick room? Then someone else can deal with him."

Javert nods. "He can be contained there."

...He stares at Chaucer. "Do you know how to use that?" He's going to blow his head off.

"That's fine with--"

She stops and stares at Chaucer, too. She definitely did not want him handling that weapon.

Chaucer looks at them, blinking, then squints at the gun in his hand. "Is it like a crossbow?"

He examines it, peering at the business end. "Point and shoot? With really small, mysteriously hidden bolts?"

That would be a no, Javert.

...Javert rubs his temples. "No. No it is not. It is most likely rather more dangerous do not point that at your face." Dear God, this man...

He grabs Xander by the links between his shackles, and started to drag him in the direction of the med bay. What? He wasn't about to be careful with him.

She cannot believe that he is pointing the it at himself, at his face.

"...give the weapon to me."

And she holds out her hand to Chaucer for emphasis. She didn't really care if he shot himself but she didn't want to accidentally get shot by this idiot.

As for Javert dragging Xander, she would have done the exact same thing. Not like she was going to waste effort carrying him.

Geoff instinctively hugs the weapon to himself - making mental note to spend less time around Wat, editing the mental note to simply spending less time alone with Wat when he gets home - and shakes his head.

"And be defenseless again? Thank you, no." He switches his hold on the Dracon beam to around its barrel, though, and drops his arm to his side. At least he knows how not to fire it.

"...Have someone teach you how to use the thing eventually. Far away from me." Javert snorts and continues on his way. Xander needs to lose weight.

"Fine. Just don't try anything with it." Good lord the people on this ship...
