[Bond has been laying low, for the most part: investigating quietly, observing, looking for the Admiral and the Bridge and all the other things people initially told him he'd never see or find.
It galls him that they were right.
He's also spent his time half convinced that this is all a drug induced dream meant to obtain information from him. He still isn't sure either way, honestly, so when the video clicks on, Bond's face is inscrutable, because you're getting nothing from him, Quantum. When he talks, it's easy, smooth, because he is a very good bluffer.]
Suppose this is real. Suppose we are actually on a ship meant to cure us of our villainous ways. Tell me how it works. Tell me how often it works. And what do the wardens get out of it?
[He smiles, and it's easy but doesn't reach his eyes.]
While we're here, I've learned from my mistakes, 'Admiral.' [The inflection is small, but present: he really means Quantum.] Kindly send me back to live the quiet retired life, if you please. [There are much more important things than his immortal soul, or whatever the fuck this is supposed to be about, at stake after all.]
[Private to Ivy]
It strikes me that I may or may not owe you an apology.
[Private to Lark]
Heard anything?

I suppose you're not one of them.
Video
Time doesn't pass at home, while we're here. No one will die while you sort things out.

[A wry, sharp little smile.] The Admiral expects people to take a lot on faith.
Video
Are there people you're familiar with, here?
Video
You'll want to be prepared for curve balls like that.
Video
Vesper is not here. Vesper is dead. He wouldn't call that a curve ball, he'd call it a lie.
He's just not sure how it's happening just yet.]
Next you'll tell me this death toll I've read about is legitimate.
Video
The next statement, though, makes her own features tense. Her words are carefully neutral.]
People I care for have died here.
And then they came back.
Video
Video i hate you dreamwidth
Honestly, I still have trouble wrapping my head around it. [A low, harsh sort of laugh.] You have to teach yourself that people don't come back. And then...

I'd find it stranger if you didn't have trouble.
video
It's fascinating, really, the things you can adjust to.

video
You're in the business of saving people, right? So save yourself.
Think of it as a challenge.
video
Not much of one, I'm afraid.
