[X] See if you're supposed to do a report.
Well, as long as you're working at this, you might as well try to do it correctly, and that means making sure everything that should be documented is. And that means finding someone who knows what you should be doing! Perhaps unfortunately, however, when you slip into the infirmary, Fate is completely absorbed by Tool's situation, and what you're doing isn't so important that bothering her is worth it … probably, anyway. So you head for the command area.
"Hello, Captain," you say as you approach the iron-haired woman. She gave you the last report you had to fill out, after all, and if there's anywhere on the ship to have Loki looked at, she'll know about it. She sighs wearily at your introduction.
"Yes?"
"The prisoner is secured and your guards said my presence was no longer required. Enforcer Harlaown is still busy with the other prisoner, but I believe that I am expected to provide a report of my encounter with the criminals. If that is so, would -"
"Could you stop that, please?" You frown at the captain as she rubs her face with her hands. "There's … no need right now for you to be stiff and formal, and frankly, it's disturbing coming from someone who looks like you do." You stare at her for a few more seconds before nodding, even though she can't see you.
"Alright. Am I supposed to make a report?" She nods and stands up, looking around the bridge.
"Yes. Follow me, please." One of the crewmen raises a hand, either in acknowledgement or farewell, and you follow the captain down the hall into another room, one with several computer terminals. She stops at one and begins typing, accessing administrative reports and loading a file similar to the one you filled out earlier. "Enforcer Harlaown should show you how to access any files you'll need to use on a regular basis. You have Device, correct? If it was activated during the encounter, you can connect it here and I'll show you how to upload the data record." After a moment's hesitation you connect Loki to the computer, but after she starts to walk you through the connection process, the screen starts flashing red in warning and it asks if you want to see the damage.
"What's happening now?" She sighs.
"It was damaged during the fight. Okay, let it display the warnings and …." She trails off at the flashing warnings. Two are for the Device itself - one for a mana overload that forced a shut-down, the other for a voltage spike that caused minor circuitry damage. The other warnings make you wonder just what sort of monitoring equipment is standard for Devices, because they're all related to what happened to you. Apparently you suffered a heart attack, general heart failure, a stroke, massive trauma to your torso, a collapsed lung ….
"… So I can just acknowledge all these, right?" The captain drags her eyes away from the computer to stare at you.
"Blessed Fallen, doesn't that bother you at all?" You turn to look at the screen for a moment before turning back to her.
"I guess not." She works her mouth for a moment before closing her eyes and taking a long, shuddering breath. She finally nods tightly and looks at you.
"… Right. Yes, you can dismiss the notices. And here …." She guides you through the data-sharing process and you add the record to the yet-unwritten report. The video is sketchy and the text-data is purely technical, which apparently isn't normal for Devices, but between the damage and Juliet's old explanation that she had to remove a lot of functionality in order to ensure Loki could operate through your fluctuating surges of energy you aren't too surprised. Still, maybe you should see about getting Loki upgraded - hopefully, with the data from a few major fights available Juliet can refine and improve it. Losing the extra protection and clothes, and having to wait until it can be fixed or self-repair is kind of frustrating. "And that's it. When you write your report, remember to include not just the facts of the event - most of those should be determinable from your Device, after all - but also your impressions and the reasons you had for taking the course you did. Is there anything else you want to ask?" You think for a moment, then shake your head. They probably can't do anything for Loki here, after all, and since it'll be a while until you reach Mid-Childa anyway, there's no real point to asking for permission right now. Besides, it might be useful if you need to distract Fate for some reason.
"No, I think I have everything I need. Thank you, Captain." She nods back and quickly withdraws. She doesn't exactly run away, but it was definitely a speedy retreat. You grin and shake your head, then turn your attention to the report. All in all, it's not that difficult, just boring. You make sure to include that strange buzzing tone that seemed to coincide with the barrier, and the worshipers' strange decision to call you 'Kaiserin' - almost everything you can remember, starting from shortly before Carmilla's arrival and ending with you putting her in the cell. And when it saves, it asks if you want a back-up copy on Loki, so you let it save there, too. If you did something wrong, or if the captain forgot to tell you something, at least you won't have to do it again. You stretch and lean back in the chair.
