[ Yeah, so, Qubit looks a little put out for some reason! Almost as if he took something personally that definitely wasn't meant that way. ]
Qubit here. In light of recent events, I'd like to remind everyone that circumventing security measures makes the station less safe for all of us.
[ Holds up his index finger- ] Now before anyone starts, I'm by no means disputing your fundamental right to privacy. No, there should not be cameras in your private rooms. But the cameras in public spaces are there for a reason - to detect things like, say, an intruder planting surveillance where it shouldn't be.
[ He pauses for a moment, debating whether he should go for this next part. But... yes. Yes, he absolutely is this petty. ]
... On a side note. For anyone unfamiliar with Earth mythologies, "Loki" is the name of a Norse trickster god, best known for repeatedly deceiving his family and friends for his own amusement. More fool them for trusting him, I suppose.
[ Then he shrugs, with a wry expression that isn't quite a smile. ] Although if memory serves, his little pranks generally come back to bite him, sooner or later. Food for thought.

[ Cole looks intensely uncomfortable, clinging to the edge of the door, preventing it shutting again. ]
Like Solas. But more. Much more.
no subject
... Well. He should probably do some explaining first, before he goes peppering the man with questions. ]
I assure you, I've more than enough of both. I simply choose to share them at my discretion.
[ Which he will, to a degree, to meet Cole halfway. It's a bit fiddly, since he's not telepathic himself, and Cole doesn't seem to be either broadcasting or probing for a connection. Still, Qubit opens a channel on his end - a focused, purposeful stream of thought, like the light of a dark lantern with the shutter barely opened. And as in that analogy, the "brightness" of it hints that there's a good deal more where it came from. ]
Is this any better?
no subject
It's unnatural, a filtered, Outside set of words that say something and have no meaning. It feels dishonest and dominating and frightening, words without context, like the device but worse, since there should be more. ]
No! You're not there! You're not there. You're Tranquil.
[ He knows he isn't, but that's what it most feels like. A Tranquil, stating things and yet never quite being. ]
You hurt. It hurts. Raw and rough and-
[ Cole vanishes in a cloud of dark green smoke, fleeing away from the horror of something with nothing Inside and to something that makes sense. He runs off to go find Ben and stalk him for a while. ]
no subject
[ He draws back, startled. That completely backfired! He shuts it down immediately, but the damage is done. No, he didn't realize something that simple would hurt him - he didn't intend for - damn!
But before he can say a thing, Cole's just gone. Qubit rushes to the spot where he was, glancing around in search of him, any sign of where he went - ]
No no no, Cole, wait! I didn't- Let me explain!
[ ... Nothing. He is well and truly out of here. Qubit sighs heavily and runs a hand through his hair in frustration.
Psychics...! ]
