[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?

[Unaffected, but he's been on the mirror barge before, and he's listened long enough to get the gist of what's going on.]

Regretfully, I concur. I can't begin to conceive of the idea of all of us working together -- [A scoff.] -- but, at the very least, we should be able to assemble some intelligent minds in this time of highly irritating individuals announcing their intention to get us all killed.

[He's got Riddler's 'I hate everyone and everything' down to par.]

Are we brainstorming, or do you already have an idea to kick off from?

[He's one of the few villains she hasn't considered murdering in his sleep. She would kill him, of course, if she had to, but he's not a target on his own. She's left him alone on the Barge, for the most part.

So her tone, when she responds, is almost civil.]

Not a plan, per se - I want to gather intel. Everything we know about the Admiral, about the Barge, all of our experiences. All of our theories.
