[Kara is sitting somewhere, her feet propped up, glass of hooch in hand. It's clear that she's had a few. Probably to give her some dutch courage for her not!apology.]

Ahem. Okay, this is awkward. Hi! [She waggles her fingers at the camera.] Starbuck here. You may have heard me ranting on about Cylons a few days ago. Decking a few orderlies in the process. Not proud about that. Anyway...

[Have a sheepish grin and shrug of her shoulders.]

It's been been cleared up. I've had it explained to me that we may have a converging universes or realities situation here - whatever the frak that means - which, uh, well, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I won't be going around waving my gun in people's faces for the foreseeable future.

[She goes to take a swig of her drink but then remembers to add:]

Unless you royally piss me off - which, you know, can happen on occasion - and then all bets are off. Although, it should be duly noted that I'm also a huge fan of duking it out or playing a game of Triad where the winner takes all to settle disputes.

So, uh, that's it. Everything's peachy.

[There's a brittleness to her smile, though, which may hint at the opposite.]

Carry on doing whatever the frak you were doing. Free drinks at the Flop for those of you in dire need of a drink. And I don't mean water, Chell.

Thank you. My mother gave me good genes. [He goes to pour a cup of dear god whatever it is.] I can ingest most poisons, I can probably handle this one.

[A swallow. And a little thoughtful look.] Hm. Disinfecting. So...

[He holds up the Force Lance.] This is my Force Lance. [And he twists it- and it turns to a six foot staff.] It's not armed right now so the worst you can do is hit someone with it. [He hands it over.]

Well, that's gotta come in handy.

[Starbuck gives him an arch look and decides not to ask about the whole genetic thing right now. She'd much rather keep things light. Taking the staff, she gets to her feet - sans crutch - and gives it a good look over, even swinging it experimentally.]

So this is your Force Lance. It's an impressive length.

[Said with tongue firmly in cheek.]

What else can it do?

[He's all cheeky look as he closes the Force Lance again.] Fires effectors, which deflect projectile weaponry before they can hit you. Fires blasts. Nanobot shots. And-

[He holds it up. And turns on the flashlight at the end.]

No vibration feature. [And he takes another drink of the Nietzsche-would-be-ashamed-of-this-whatever-it-is]

[It sounds pretty good as far as strange alien weapons go. They don't have the tech yet to deflect bullets. But then his quip gets her attention and she can't help but let out a carefree laugh.]

Damn, that would have been so useful. What does it run on? Your chiseled good looks?

[He smirks again at that.] It should have enough power to go into staff mode infinitely. But to recharge the Lance itself we're going to have to find somewhere to charge it.

Until then I'm under orders to seek out other weapons just in case. [Under orders, but it's also something he would do himself.]

Under orders? Well, I might let you have a look at what I collected last week from the OA bodies. If you play your cards right.

[She hands the Force Lance back to him and then takes a seat again, refilling her drink.]

[He drops it back into its holster.] Understood. I can be very accommodating. [Which she can take any way she likes.]
