For UG@ in a few months' time
1.
[It's anchor-dropping time for the Chalice, though if anyone were to take a look outside where the Chalice is docking a horde of angry protestors can be seen. No rotten eggs or tomatoes are visible yet, but there's more than a few signs being held aloft calling for the head of the "Icarus Bomber". Said "bomber" can only stare for a little while before skulking off to her room. At least she has some degree of protection on the ship.]
It might be best for me to stay on the ship until we leave here. I didn't even really need anything out there anyways.
[Being a hero with terribad publicity sucked. It was worse when it was mostly warranted.]
2.

[Lynn'd made the transfer to pilot, sure, but that hadn't kept her from her mechanic duties. Far from it in fact; now that her status as a wanted woman was known to the command crew (and everyone else on the Chalice for that matter), one of the only reasons she could stay on the ship was because she was worth more to them this way than as a bounty to be handed in. And so she was currently slaving away at getting a half-trashed mook in working order, working away at getting its reactor working.]
What do you think, R? The thing was overclocked to kingdom come, but there's a good chance that faulty conduits are what's keeping it from working.
[And with that she glances to a little digital camera hooked up to a laptop computer, the screen completely blank before lines of text begin to appear all on their own.]

You're more familiar with these kinds of things than I am, Lynn. Still, working from the top to the bottom might be the best way of doing this.

Good point. If we know the reactor's in working order, if all else fails we can always just transfer it to another machine.

[BATTLE! A particularly hectic one, with mooks coming at everyone non-stop! And that lowly customized security robot's doing what it can to keep afloat in all of this craziness. Unfortunately, Lynn's still new to this piloting thing and a nearby explosion rocks it, causing the REVIVAL to stumble towards the ground.]
Not good, not good...
R! I'm going to go for the penetrator rifle! If we can snipe from a distance-
R, there's too many of them out there and this isn't open to debate! I can't keep up with everything if we're front and center!
[If you didn't know any better you might think Lynn's arguing with an imaginary friend of hers.]

It's not like I won't have R to keep me company. And I'm sure you'd be accepted more than I would.
Everest might be large, but you don't get the same body count from blowing it up as you do a London suburb.
no subject
So, are you planning on just moping all day?
no subject
[Admittedly it's lessened in recent times. Discovering how flimsy and empty her death wish was did help Lynn put things in perspective.]

... Did you even read the report for what happened because of the Linker System? I'd imagine even the TSAB would've gotten at least some version of it, even if the incident was sixteen years ago.

What is there to really say? The science was flawed from the start and when I found out I pressed ahead anyways, figuring that someone had just made a math error or two in that calculation.
The day of the big exhibition came around, the wormhole was opened, and...
[Remember telling her to keep her chin up? Yeah, Lynn's not gonna be able to do that.]
... Well, the wormhole collapsed, killing almost everyone in the lab and a London suburb. Everything else they try to pin on me, those massacres at the other two labs... they're false. But everything that went wrong with the Linker System is all me.
"The Icarus Bomber" was the title I got from the news blogs because of that. Flew too close to the sun as it were and then I crashed, taking a lot of innocent people with me.

There's no evidence that says I didn't besides my own word. And Britannia already has a scapegoat for one of the incidents that happened at one part of the labs, why not use the same one for all three?

I imagine you probably have more important cases to worry about too, ones where people didn't destroy lives and homes in an instant. Those people need you a lot more than I do.

You're a good person, Yagami. Never stop helping people, especially when you have a system that works.

Work at the labs was always so time consuming so I just relied on my microwave.
That or James would cook for me.

It's not like I have anything else planned for today.

[Haruka'd only just been born when it'd happened. Lynn wasn't surprised she didn't know.]
It's the title that was given to someone whose reach exceeded their grasp and ended up killing a lot of innocent people as a result.
no subject
I wonder what they're like...
no subject
[No use hiding the fact. Not when she'd probably see protestors holding up effigies of her.]
But if you want to know my name, it's Lynn Idris.

... I'm sorry for hiding it from everyone, but the Chalice was the only place I could go with so many people putting bounties on me.
no subject
[fidget fidget fidget.]
It's just...surprising, is all...
no subject
But stupid mistakes, even just one or two, can... they can really ruin a life. A lot of peoples' lives.
no subject
[Ryou's just leaning against a doorframe.]
Then again.. I'm not exactly the person to talk about appearances.
no subject
Besides, looking conspicuous would've just gotten me noticed sooner.
no subject
[He seems to give you a somewhat annoyed look before shaking his head.]
Of all the places you had to hide.... it had to be here.
[He has to chuckle a little... it was pretty funny in a way.]
Looks like your bounty's out of my hands.
no subject
And I.. appreciate that last bit. Contract with the Chalice or no, nothing would stop you if you just decided to act on it at some point, or even just sell me out to someone.
no subject
[Funny thing since he's sort of doing something similar.]
Eh... if I do a deal, I gotta stick to it. Its bad for business if people know I sell out clients. Besides... if I sell you out, I probably won't be seeing much of that money anyway.
no subject
[James's father would probably pay any price named for the chance to beat her to death with a lead pipe, come to think of it.]
