[ the video catches martin groggy and half-asleep, apparently napping on the couch. ]

Er- yeah? What about them?

[ oh god has he even looked at his own assignment, he's the worst ]

[Does he... not know who is temporary inmate is? Well, there's no indication in expression or tone that Xie Lian's judging that.]

He's caused some trouble in the kitchen, and I believe in other places around the ship.

[corkscrewed]

[ it's clear from the video that he's scrambling to catch himself as they chat. ]

Oh, god, yeah. I should - address this.

[riseunparalleled]

I have him with me at the moment.

I can provide the same containment as Zero, but taking away his ability to try to provoke people there, so I thought it'd be a good temporary measure.

[Just offering a clear explanation of actions, very understanding of Martin needing time to catch up.]

[corkscrewed]

[ martin is trying his damndest not to look incredibly embarrassed here, and it's to minimal success. ]

You're brilliant, sorry, thank you.

[ all in a rush. ]

Could I meet with him? And, er, you? I can't provide any kind of containment.

[riseunparalleled]

It's no problem.

[Nothing but earnest understanding.]

Of course, I have him in an empty cabin, but I could bring him to yours if you'd like to talk there.

[corkscrewed]

[ he thinks about the cabin, and jon, and the animals - ]

No, no, if he's causing trouble, an empty one might be better. Is now alright?

[riseunparalleled]

Now works well.

We're in Cabin 2, on Level 2.

[corkscrewed]

Yeah, let me just -

[ he catches sight of himself in the video call preview window. ]

- change into something not covered in pet hair. I'll be there soon.

[riseunparalleled]

I'll see you soon.

[corkscrewed]

- oh, I didn't get your name, by the way.

[riseunparalleled]

My name is Xie Lian. You're Martin Blackwood? [He knows the name, but Martin might go by something else.]

[corkscrewed]

Yeah. Uh, just Martin is fine.

[riseunparalleled]

Despite the unfortunate circumstances, it's nice to meet you.
