There are times to keep a stiff upper lip
Who: Allenby and open
Where: Pod caverns
Summary: Allenby is pissed at being abruptly short a best friend.
Warnings: Some cursing.
If someone were to venture down to the pod caverns today, they would hear the sound of screaming. Not the sounds of pain or terror--in fact, it was rather articulate and purposeful screaming at a specific individual, although very little of it was the kind of thing that ought to be repeated.
"Damn you, Stacy," Allenby snarled, stalking from pod to pod, wiping at the surfaces with her gloved hand--her left arm was still in its sling--and glaring inside, even though she knew that there was no point in trying to identify the occupants. She'd given up trying to find Domon and the others that way a while ago and just settled for the yelling... but this had just happened. Just happened. Shouldn't a pod that had been refilled so recently have some kind of sign?
So far, it didn't look like it. And even if they did, there were millions to go through....
"STACY! YOU BITCH!" she screamed for about the fifth time, looking up at the ceiling. "You expect us to think you're on our side, huh? Just 'cause ooh, you let Howard and his friend off two seconds before you were gonna rip him apart, gosh, we're so fucking grateful you let the Daligig and the Kessek stomp all over us for an hour just for that!" She clenched her fist, not caring that there were tears running down her face again. "If you want to be nice to us WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ZOUICHI BACK, HUH?! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU POD HIM FOR!"
Not just Zouichi... Ildraniath too. Jr. That psychic kid, Raz. And she hadn't missed that councilor Tarrant vanishing, either. It wasn't a coincidence. "You stupid puppet of a ship, tryin' to tie everyone else to the same strings you got. You try and put me back into the pods and there's gonna be trouble--we both know there ain't one thing wrong with my soul and there wasn't anything with theirs either! So give 'em back!"
She moved to the next pod, peering inside at the indistinct blob that might have been a person.

no subject
She was pretty confident of that, at least. He was a fighter, like her.
"Maybe." Allenby glared at the pods. "I don't think the Daligig care to do anything more than bare-bones. But I can't make myself trust Stacy. Never did buy her 'hi I want to be your mom' routine."
no subject
She privately thought that the humans who had created Zouichi had succeeded in making a person more honorable than themselves.
"There is something a little - one-dimensional, I suppose I would say? Something sort of imcomplete about her. I've been thinking - have you seen the video where she says that she was separated from her previous personality, the Warden - but not entirely?"
no subject
But she lowered her fists as Anwei shifted the subject somewhat. One-dimensional? Yeah, sort of--or more like a lot of shallow facets. Stacy, Warden, SHODAN. And the mention of a video made Allenby's eyebrows shoot up. "No, I haven't. Don't think I ever heard of that one--what else does she say about it?"
no subject
Anwei's lips are tight. "What I think that means is that rather than install a new mind to control this ship, the Daligig just splintered the one currently here. Filtered all the motherly and kind parts into one personality, and all the domineering and cruel ones into the other. That's why Stacy doesn't ring quite true, I think. She isn't quite a whole person."
