[ miles smiles thinly, resting his chin on his arms. ]
Oh, believe me, I've heard it from Gregor -- and Ivan, and Elizabeth. Oh, and Bel Thorne, I don't know if you've met them yet.
[ he looks...genuinely surprised at that commendation, blinking and opening his mouth halfway before he catches himself. after their last conversation, miles was expecting something a little more on the side of dry humor, at least. he twists his lips halfway into a frown, though. it's a good question. why not bring back típota, especially if thán's the one doing the pulling back? i don't want anyone to die, he said. so why... ]
You know, I'm not actually sure they knew. A lot of weird, unpredictable horseshit seems to crop up on this ship. And Típota's death could have been an accident. It was impossible to say from looking at the body -- but it was damaged badly. Electrical damage. Not like the marks people've been coming in with. [ like yours, clark, for instance. ] It might have had to do with the power fluctuations earlier in the month, or it could've been from that thing, it's hard to tell without... Hey! [ miles suddenly sits up as a sudden new insight occurs to him, slapping his fist into his palm as his eyes widen, gaze sharpening. he's suddenly talking a lot faster. ] Maybe that's why they kept the body! Autopsy, forensic investigation. Maybe they didn't know -- and they were trying to find out.
