[The ship corridor Rumple is transmitting from-- using Belle's communicator, for those who can tell such things-- is a little bit dimmer than it should be, and there's a few flashes off to one side. And a bit of a hissing, fizzing sort of sound... like ruined electronics might make.

Rumple ignores it all. He looks upset, angry, but not to the extent that he hasn't calmed down a little since his initial rage. The network has officially missed the worst of his temper tantrum.]

This ship is stealing people.

[All right, not quite all of the temper tantrum. He bashes at something off-screen with his cane.]

Belle is gone. She was here one minute, and gone the next. And it is this damn ship that took her!

[Good luck convincing him otherwise.]

I don't know if it's so important outside of stasis, considering we're in atmosphere right now. Obviously we can't know what's going on in sections of the ship that the AI can't access but it might be able to extrapolate if it has schematics in memory. Someone would have to ask it.

[He visibly throttles down the panic, though the wall does get another good thwack with his cane for good measure in the process, before answering with a taut:]

Well, I certainly can't go anywhere. This damn ship decided to fence me in. And it's not talking to me anymore.

[Maybe if you stopped hitting it, it would let you go.]

I know that the ship has thrown up that kind of security before. Our people working up there should be able to let you out.

I've already spoken with one of them. She declined to do anything about this.

[But hitting things is how he deals with everything, Inara! At least when he can't turn problems into rats, anyway.]

[If Kaylee wants you in there then Inara's not helping you, sorry]

I see.

[anuglyman]

Yes, I'm sure you do.

[And if she's not going to help him, he's done with her. Sorry, Inara. He severs the call.]
