Old Acquaintances and lost friends

[Bazza]

Evangeline takes her seat and spins it around to face a haphazardly assembled communication console - essentially a hand-held camcorder duct taped to the center pillar. She flicks a switch on the side of the recording device, taps some numbers into the primitive control panel and glares through the unresponsive glass eye of the recorder.

Her presence changes dramatically, as if she were putting on an act. She haughtily addresses the intended target of the transmission and after a few moments of a dominating, overbearing swagger she flicks the switch again, and lets out a heavy sigh, quickly returning to her "normal" self.

That's sorted then. We'll wait here until they show up.

Evangeline casually evacuates her most comfortable looking chair, an area which one can tell gets well used - a variety of food and drink wrappers decorating the captain's "quarters". She wanders across the otherwise empty bridge to a locked cabinet riveted to the wall.

Evangeline buries one hand into her pocket, retrieves a key and opens the padlock guarding the cabinet's contents. Upon opening, a small cache of firearms can be observed. She pulls out two unidentified handguns and jumbles them in her arms as she closes and relocks the cabinet.

The first of the two pistols is roughly jammed between Evangeline's thigh and the hem of her jeans, staying in plain sight.

You know how to use these, right?

Just in case.

Evangeline grabs the other firearm by the barrel and hands it to Vixen.
