If they were going to rebel (well, no longer a matter of if; a matter of when), Ildraniath knew that they were going to need more firepower than the average crew member tended to carry on their person. She, of course, had no need of further firepower. Her armor and her mind would serve her well enough. For many of the others, of course, they would need something more. Which was why she was paying a visit to the armory. In theory, Stacy might give her away. However, following that interesting performance at the punishment meeting, Ildraniath had reason to believe that Stacy wasn't about to give the crew away.

A gamble, of course, but Ildraniath was willing to risk it. So, the Eldar was perusing the armory. She tapped a button on her omnicomm and called up a blank document. She was going to need a list. And people to cart it all off later, but for now:

"Stacy. A list of all available small-arms and protable heavy weapons. Powered armor. Ammunition counts. And their effectiveness against heavily armored opponents."

|| Acknowledged, Ildraniath. ||

She bent over the control panel as the lists began to scroll past.

If she was going to do this, she was going to do it properly.

Comments

Ildraniath's brow furrowed as she glanced at Celena. She couldn't remember speaking to her. In fact, she didn't recognize her at all. But Ildraniath had been rather prominent at several public meetings, so she supposed it was to be expected.

"Yes. Although I'm afraid you have an advantage on me. You are...?"

Ildraniath hated being at a disadvantage.

[curiousredsoul]

Celena tapped a few of the controls as she pondered Ildraniath's reply. There were not as many who would recognize her in her current form as her draconic one. She had gathered information on the Eldar from those many prominent meetings at which she had spoken up at, indeed Ildraniath may recognize her as being at her most recent meeting down on Agrestic.

"Celena Vantari, I don't believe we've had the chance of a proper introduction," She replied by way of introduction as she turned to face the Farseer.

[futureisclear]

"No. I think not."

Ildraniath tried not to betray too much of her own emotions when she talked to people. But she was rather curious - she extended a little mental probe. Who was this woman? Unknown variables made her... slightly anxious.

That was a good way of putting it.

"What is it you'd like?"

[curiousredsoul]

"Merely curious, I am performing maintenance checks on the portal network currently,"

Celena hid her true interest in the woman behind a veil of idle curiosity, something that had a measure of truth to it. What drew her interest even further was the mental probe that brushed her mental defenses, she was well experienced in hiding her thoughts from those who could read them. So the Farseer was one to actively use such abilities on others, interesting.

She did however to allow the other woman the impression that her current form was not her true form as well an image of her as she usually was, preventing her however from delving any further.

Ildraniath didn't let the mental frown get to her features. Instead she nodded brusquely. So, she was something more. Interesting. She turned away again, still eyeing her console.

"The network is impressive, considering the ship. Not the same as the Eldar webway... but adequate for our purposes."

[curiousredsoul]

Celena remained facing the other a moment longer, regarding her before she too turned back to the console. The readings were slightly elevated due to interference from the Bleed but well within acceptable levels.

"Thank you, it took some effort and assistance to enable it perform its duties even in the realm we once more travel through. I am sure that it shall serve the crew well should it be needed,"

Casting a glance over her shoulder toward the seer, "Have you found much of interest during your browsing?"

[futureisclear]

Ildraniath shrugged, "Many weapons. Some of them useful, some not. The problem, as always, is getting them dispersed to the proper people."

[curiousredsoul]

Celena dipped her head, "I would imagine so, for an armoury containing weapons from many worlds," She replied thoughtfully before tapping a few controls on the console before her.

"Indeed, that is something of a problem. That reminds me, I have to see about getting the completed shelters properly stocked with supplies and weapons, should a situation arise,"

[futureisclear]

"Something to look into. Caches being left around the ship for our future use would be useful... or any future crew. We might consider leaving our notes behind with the weapons as well."

[curiousredsoul]

"Quite so, there shall be such a cache within each shelter at the very least," Celena dipped her head as she pondered before casting a glance over her shoulder, "A wise idea, to safeguard the information that we have discovered. There are already those who are seeing to storing notes and information for future use...whether it be our own or a future crew,"
