For the time being.

[That doesn't sound particularly helpful, not when Tek has shown since her arrival that his duties as a captain weren't all that important to him, but there isn't much she can do about it. Jove has no desire to lecture, though, so she only turns to look outside again.]

At least we had two people to shoot back this time, I suppose.

[again, he doesn't really answer. instead, he's apparently abruptly done with looking at the nebula and whatever is hiding beyond it--turning around with a sigh that makes it sound as if he hasn't spent the majority of the last few weeks sleeping.

he leans his back against the window and folds his arms.]

I don't want to think about what comes next. I'm sick of wondering.

[--to finally answer her original question.]

[She glances toward him, concerned by how tired he feels. Is he getting sick again? If that's the case, she'll have to keep an eye on him.]

That's hardly the kind of attitude a captain should be keeping to. We should be planning ahead.

[he lifts an eyebrow in her direction, while he tries to decide whether or not he's offended by her sharing her thoughts on what attitudes that captains should and should not have.]

...Does that imply that you have a suggestion?

Well, get caught by surprise by them each time. The Inquisition had spies that could keep that sort of thing from happening to us, but here? The best we could do is work out some system where people take the shuttles out as far as they can to patrol the perimeter of the ships and report back if they see anything suspicious. It's not exactly ideal, but it would at least keep us prepared.

[She's hardly in charge of the Inquisition's forces, that's Cullen's job, but she'd paid attention to his plans. She'd had a lot of time to learn from him and from Bull's Chargers how best to organize a battle, so why not use that now?]

It might be helpful if the ships all stayed close together, too. That way we could circle up when the attacks came so we couldn't be surrounded and could attack from all directions ourselves.
