Well... it appears we've had a couple of suicides.

I want to urge everyone to remain calm, and to not follow that example. We're all working on a solution. Please don't do anything drastic, and definitely don't hurt yourselves. Don't try to leave, either, because we don't know what's out there. But we can figure this out if we all try.

At this point it seems pretty likely that we're going to have a rash of new post-traumatic stress disorder cases. Would either of you be willing to help me set up a support group when this has run its course? If it runs its course.

What Mark said. 'Ang in there, boys and girls. We are a staggeringly brilliant group of people on this boat an' we will fix this.

And you, Fake Admiral? We're going to fix seven kinds of 'ell out of you.

Uh, we'll see about that last part later.

[routemistress]

There is no later. There's only now, chuck.

Don't fret, I'm on it. You carry on keepin' people together.

Our Chris is in Zero being baked and mindfucked right now, Mark, and it's put me in a pulling off 'eads mood. I'll try peaceful first if I get the chance, but I'm telling you now I don't 'ave a lot of patience left.

Then with all due respect, it might be best if you took some time to cool down before acting. Here: I want you to take a deep breath, in through your nose and out through your mouth.

[Iris eyes him as one might eye a many-legged creature in one's food, and then she obediently breathes in through her nose. Then she crosses her eyes and breathes out in a loud raspberry.]

That's much better, Mark lovey. Now I'm going back to me brainstorming session, if that's all right with you.
