[The recording comes to life with a large gasp from the Mithra, she's trying to keep control of her emotions, but there's hint in her voice that its failing.]

...I need some help on deck 7! Something horrible took place here and I'm trying to...

[She trails off, the chime of her spell can be heard. It is ineffective to the body its being casted on.]

My magic doesn't seem to be working!

[She tries again, a Raise spell, but it fails as well. Her voice is starting to crack.]

C'mon! Work! Embraced by the soothing wind, heal the wounds of those deeply in need! Cure IV!

[Again, it fails. There's a cry of frustration before the feed dies with a loud thunk.]

Are you in danger?

[Sabriel is cautiously making her way up the stairs. There's a lot of noise and movement on deck seven. It occurs to her that the death she felt may not be the person Cat is trying to heal.]

Is someone else hurt?

I don't think so...?

[Why didn't she realize this earlier when she arrived? Although she glances at the body that's beside her and she closes her eyes.]

I've... been trying to revive him, but no luck.

[She wants to ask who. She doesn't.]

What is the closest room number?

[She takes a moment to look around, trying to not look back at the body.]

The hallway with the numbers of 63...

[It takes Sabriel a couple of minutes to find the spot, and it's more through luck than skill. She stops short, several feet away, staring.

Kevas.

She closes her eyes a moment, looking away.]


Cat...

[The Mithra is still continuing to cast spells as Sabriel speaks, although her ear twitches. She pauses and turns to see the fellow team mate of Beta.]

I don't know what did this to him...

[Sabriel hesitates, then determinedly walks forward and puts a hand on Cat's shoulder.]

You can stop casting. He's... Well, he'll be back tomorrow. Whomever did this, the Captain will find them.

[Except he hasn't been lately... Not for a month or more. But that is not for the here and now.

Glancing at Kevas' face again, Sabriel takes a deep breath and tries to find the soothing calm of Charter Magic.]

[She stops for a moment before shaking her head and starts her spells again.]

I know... but still...

Cat...

[Sabriel pauses in her own casting, the marks for a funeral pyre already linked in her mind's eye, when Cat starts casting again.]

It'll be alright. Please, step back.

[And with that, she began tracing the runes in the air before her.]

...What... are you doing?

[She takes a step back, looking over Sabriel with confusion.]

[Fire, cleansing, peace... Sabriel stopped short of the final mark as Cat spoke.]

I am lighting the funeral pyre. We can hardly leave him here.

[Alarm takes her features and she steps between Sabriel and Kevas' body, shaking her head.]

What if it affects his body when he comes back?!

It won't--

[She sounds surprised, both by Cat's words and by the fact that she has no idea if the spell will affect Kevas later or not.

Her hands freeze where they are. Looking between Cat and Kevas, she tries to side-step Cat.]


Why would it?

[She continues to block Sabriel. Cat really didn't want to see the body of her "brother" be burned infront of her.]

Because I have a scar on my body from the time that I died, but I have no memory of it ever happening. I'm concerned that there would be more marks than what he's already suffered from and he wouldn't know where he got it from.

[Sabriel purses her lips, but doesn't try stepping around Cat again, not yet anyway.]

If I do not burn him, someone else may find his body and then he will not come back. At least, not in any form that you would recognize.

What do you mean by that? I don't think there's anyone on board with abilities to raise the dead.

[Sabriel hesitates, then drops her gaze and shakes her head. She cannot lie.]

There are at least two, possibly more. Please Cat-

[She cannot hold on to spell elements forever, particularly in on the ship. With her concentration divided, she's losing focus. Even if Cat let her cast now, the spell probably would not work.]

What? How can that...

[She trailed off and shook her head.]

I'll stand guard and not let anyone near him!

For the full day? Cat, don't be silly. You have already used so much magic. Please let me...

I can manage! I've... done this before. Just, let me do this, please.

[Sabriel frowns, but nods a moment later.]

Alright.

I am going to look around the rest of the deck. Shout if you need help.

Thank you, Sabriel.

[She smiles a little.]

Understood.
