This was so not turning out to be a good day.

Okay, so they were stuck. In some random part of the ship that he'd never seen before, and they couldn't go back. And just to make it all better, none of their omnicomms or communication rings were working.

Which was why Marco was now sitting at the tables in the new mess hall, fiddling around with his omnicomm in an attempt to get the stupid thing to actually work. He was guessing it was some kind of hardware thing, which sucked, because Marco was better at messing with software than hardware.

Why the hell wasn't Ax here? He at least would know how to fix the damn thing. Ax could fix anything.

And as if to prove Marco's point, while he was poking at one of the wires the omnicomm sparked, causing Marco to let loose a flurry of curses.

"You have to be a dolphin to talk to whales," Marco said breezily, half running up to catch up with her. "And in case you hadn't noticed, I never said I wouldn't help." Marco grinned, in a way that he new would irritate her. "You just can't get by without me, can you?" he added, teasing.

Hey, he would have boggled if she told him shark-men also existed, and not in a "bred to be" way, but a "chose and yeah it's also a ninja technique" way. Her world had crazy inventive all over the place.

She glared at him sideways, more grumpy than she would normally be when better rested. "Like an explosive tag in the middle of a poison cloud."

See, he'd told her her world was completely insane!

"Yup," Marco said cheerfully, apparently unconcerned about her grumpiness.
