Cruising for a bruising

[downloadtruth.livejournal.com]

Big Zero had mostly kept to herself. She was busy plotting certain people's demise and reprogramming. A big part of dropping off the radar was simply for safety reasons. But when she went out she spent time in the Special Weapons Lab working on, well, things that weren't weapons. She wasn't that stupid. If she didn't give them a good reason, they couldn't refuse a member of the crew. Certainly not someone as productive as she was.

So with all the confidence of someone with antisocial/narcissist personality disorder, she strolled into the lab and quickly started work on Egghead mark II. Frankly, it was a lot harder building the damn thing from scratch.

[[OOC: Big Zero post, standard warnings apply. Filthy language, Neo Nazi. Also she will probably be hitting Punishment this post so threads might have to be bendy timed a little (later ones go earlier). My tags will be slow as I have one paper to seriously work on starting tomorrow and I'm running in to pain issues today. Agh sorry for tl;dr]]

Marco knew that there was some awesome stuff in Special Labs - so naturally, he wanted to check it out.

His first instinct was to give the girl in there a charming and witty remark, but then he paused at the tattoos on her shoulders (and seriously, what was with that hair?) He narrowed his eyes at her - maybe it meant nothing, but maybe it meant something.

Ignoring her, he went to check out what was on the shelves.

Without looking up from her work (peripheral vision, she loved it), Big Zero raised her voice. "Keep your distance, spic."

[livestoannoy]

Marco rolled his eyes - now there's a big surprise. "Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you afraid of catching the Hispanic plague?" he said, dripping with sarcasm. "Should I get out a ruler? Find a glass bubble to stand in?"

[downloadtruth.livejournal.com]

"The wetback plague isn't contagious unless you count jumping over our fence and infecting America with your filth." She paused, leaning back and casting a glance over at Marco. "So yeah, I guess it is contagious."

[livestoannoy]

Marco didn't bother mentioning that he had been born in America - his mother hadn't been, and as far as he was concerned it didn't matter what country someone happened to be born in. Instead, he looked around at the lab, before tapping a finger to the side of the face and putting on a mock thoughtful expression. "Hey, now isn't this interesting - we're not actually in America. Do you see America? I don't see America. America went bye bye, baby. Which means right now, you're walking around on foreign soil. Or foreign meat, so to speak. Oops, I guess that makes you a 'contagion' as well? Better keep your distance - I don't want to catch your stupid."

Billy didn't like this situation, not one little bit. Here she was, the woman who had called Katara and Lash nasty names. Made blustering death threats at Renne. Angered Allen so much that he'd tried to ban her from the department right before he disappeared.

But it wasn't in Billy's nature to be unnecessarily combative, so he was here to stay out of her way and treat her as civilly as he would anyone else.

"Did you find everything all right?" There he was looking up from his own project, as suspicious and falsely over-helpful as a store clerk who thinks they've found a shoplifter.

"This place is a fucking mess. I should have expected better from something co-run by the kike but now that he's gone you're not picking up the slack." Harsh words, but she didn't like Billy. He was soft. He was weak. He was a disgrace to their race.

[morphitudinous]

"I apologize for the mess. The time constraints of the threats didn't allow me to schedule a spring cleaning," he replied icily, forcing his temper down.

Billy wished with all his heart that he could lash out at her for the sake of Allen's memory, but keeping the department together was more important than their pride. It had to be.

His hands twitched as he slid in the next bolt.

"Yeah. Who knows, if you actually had you might have got an actual inventory going and figured out someone was stealing materials to use for a bomb. But that's just so hard to bother to do. Who cares if it gets some people killed." All said while she was diligently working away. All said so lightly.

[morphitudinous]

Billy's mouth opened to reply that they did in fact have an inventory and there was indeed some order to their items, but she'd hit her mark well.

He fell silent, concentrating on the sound of another screw. Billy couldn't honestly say that she was wrong---he'd thought the same thing immediately afterward. They had failed to take inventory. He could have suggested it. Through negligence, he'd sent Cassie and Kawalsky to their deaths, hadn't he?

Who knew why he hadn't been fired for that yet.

Curiosity had driven him to wander about once more. More than this however, that sense of duty had been building with each passing day. Thus, having explored as much as he knows on this ship, Renne carefully walks down the Halls toward another section.

Weapons.

It's quite obvious that a projectile weapon would be utterly useless in his hands but who knows? Perhaps a blade or something could be found here.

"Not another talking animal." Big Zero grumbled.

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

"Rrrr-enne do taww-k. Is noh aminahl."

Cool and distant. Logical to a fault. He trails further in, rather carefully investigating the things within his reach. Has he the nerve to turn his back on her in his investigations? Oh, quite.

[downloadtruth.livejournal.com]

"Ugh, you can't even talk well. Just my luck to run into a retarded blue freak."

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

Lucky for her (and possibly him), the "retarded" insult flies right over his head. However, his cool, distant tone of voice doesn't waver even at the insult to his second-language English. He's simply calling a truth as he perceives it.

"Rrrr-enne leahrrrn In-guh-lish. Wha-t yeu leahrrrn? Ohrrr do yeu?"

Which includes asking if she could learn anything at all.

Hallways~

Kang had heard about Big Zero, and he'd counted himself lucky that he hadn't run into the woman yet. He knew that with people like her, the only thing you could do was ignore them or kill them, and since no one was allowed to do the latter... well.

He was in the hallways, heading for the Media Library, when he saw BZ, and not recognizing her, he didn't really pay her any attention as he passed by.

[downloadtruth.livejournal.com]

And the moment she spotted him, Big Zero had just one thing to say. "Oh Jesus fucking Christ! How many of you talking animal things are there on this ship?"

[governorkang]

Kang stopped, quirking an eyebrow ridge, and took a closer look at the woman. He had a good guess as to who she was from what she'd just said, and the look on her face. "I'm guessing you're Big Zero."

Well, damn.

[downloadtruth.livejournal.com]

"My reputation precedes me, I see." Now that was something to take pride in.

[governorkang]

Of course she'd take pride in something like that. Holding back a snort, Kang smiled, somewhat amused, "Not necessarily a good thing."

Kate was looking to head toward the Hangar. So many new things to consider now. She wished she could tell Cassie about some of it. Would she have been happy? Sad even though Kate still considered herself an Avenger first. But now this was another aspect to her.

[downloadtruth.livejournal.com]

"Well if it isn't Ms. Bestiality herself." Big Zero smiled and changed directions so that she was making a bee line for Kate.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Kate came to a dead stop, and her blue eyes narrowed at her.

"Excuse me?!"

[downloadtruth.livejournal.com]

"Werewolf boyfriend, right?" Nice to know she'd hit her mark.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Kate frowned and crossed her arms. "Yes, but it's not like that." Liked really, but she wasn't going to admit that Tony was likely stuck back in the pods in front of this bitch.
