I'm now staying somewhere else. But if necessary, I can still be reached by the communication system. [If Dylan wants to announce where they're living, he can. But Mr. Paranoid Bastard isn't about to publicly give a location.]

As an aside, does anyone here know how to play chess or any other strategy games that might be available? Are there any musicians from the ship?

[He very desperately needs to learn about the local culture. There must be more than "the Authorities are terrible people and want to render us impotent". Survival situations or not, these people have lived here for a very long time and must have something unique and exclusive to them. They're obviously not barbarians or savages.]

Also, do either of the pilots of the ships that have crashed need assistance?

[Nietzschean style proclamation of friendly interest. He wouldn't offer if he didn't like them.]

I'm not accustomed to having a lot of friends outside of distant relations, but that's how my people are.

[He looks at the knight. It would be easy to take, but he has a habit of wanting the pawns to last the longest. To see how many of them he can make survive, while the other pieces take the vanguard. There's something gratifying when he can make a pawn take a king- they're capable of the same moves, it's only been decided one is more valuable than the other by its entourage.]

My captain is my friend.

[He thinks he still is. Despite everything, despite what Rhade was planning, he never stopped being his friend.]

He'd probably appreciate your idealism.

[He laughs lightly.]

I am not an idealist.

[truth_is_cold]

What do you consider yourself then? [Curiously.]

[eternaliyah]

I'm someone who's learned the difference between doom and long odds.

Interesting way of phrasing it... and cryptic. [Says the man that's unusually blunt with his thoughts, and wraps the hidden ones so deeply sometimes they're extremely hard to read.

He uses the bishop to fortify his pawns, but also watching closely Daniel's preference as he still plays a game within a game.]
