[No one on the ship has seen Red Hood with her mask off. Few know her actual name. Barbara likes it that way; it's easier.

She doesn't broadcast to the network very often; she's not particularly interested in exposing herself to the ship at large. At worst it's dangerous, and at best it's just irritating.

She's willing to make an exception.

Her hands, gloved in coarse black leather, are clasped in front of her. Her expression is grim, her voice cool.]

Obviously, everyone is excited about the door, and Arthas is clearly enjoying stirring the pot.

Before anyone does something ridiculously stupid, they should keep in mind that we're in this, ultimately, together. [She manages to sound completely sincere, too.] If this ship dies, so do we.

So instead of petty rivalry and private schemes, why don't we come up with a plan, together, that saves our collective ass?

Do you have any suggestions?

[Completely sincere.]

I mean, we can kind of all agree, I think, that you've got a good head on your shoulders and are smarter than ninety percent of the population, so - I think the floor is pretty much yours.

Flatterer. [It's more of a smirk than a smile, but there's a rare warmth to it.]

From what we've seen, it seems like the Admiral's hold on the Barge is getting progressively weaker. We need to find out why that is.

The problem, of course, is the Admiral has told us fuck all about what he is and how he works.

I think we should pool together all our theories. See what makes the most sense and try to work with it.

[Yep. He sure is.]

I've heard demon and god. So, there's a whole goddamn spectrum for you.

[She likes people who know how to use it.]

Demons and gods aren't so different, probably.
