There's a hive beetle on this ship, Selene. I think you owe me hazard pay. The gizmo work?

-Jim

Selene Holmes sent back a short "Apparently" and examined the files the compromised computer had sent. The news articles were tidbits downloaded off the public nets and saved. Corporate searches, the past few months' humanspace news, the usual.

She hesitated over the "Logs" file. Privacy was paramount. But... a thief's privacy?

One click opened the file.

Woke up, two people (male) walking out...

	And what about her own privacy? Heh. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Selene's? Oh, Selene's used to living in a fishbowl... I wonder if I should do a proper flashback for that. Hmmmmm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I would enjoy reading it, of course . . . (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'll see what I can come up with. I think I can manage something, if I work at it... Hey, get to sleep, you! (Reply to this)(Parent)

...Actually, you know what's kind of freaky? Looking at your icon more...

...she looks like what you might get if you took Beth-haran, stuck her in a vat of bleach for a few weeks, and forgot to saw off the horns. o.o (The lines seperating her bangs from the main parts of her hair look like horns, 'Haran does go red-eyed sometimes, the hairstyle is right, the rest of the face looks plausible...)

	LAUGH Selene is... um... Er... Let's just say she spent her points on IQ and not DX... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh, just from what I remember of the log summaries, I don't think there are characterization similarities. [laughs] (... ...Hm. Maybe a few here and there. Mostly relationship-wise.) But the physical appearance? Especially looking at the fullscale one you just linked me? Beth-haran trying and failing to look Elohite. [nods] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Selene's very... Hmmmm. Non-emotive at times. Mind, she gets it from emulating her Great Ancestor, Sherlock... giggle (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

[laughs!] [nods] And there were a couple parallels in the Selene-Silver situation, that I vaguely recall as parsing with the 'Haran-Sal relationship in ways. And, obviously, there's general "female-aspected, businesslike and competent, not inclined to use standard Lilim tactics," etc-ness for echos. But really, it was the appearance that was clicking. [grins] Recolor her hair reddish-brown, and maybe make the skin dark green and the clothes gray, and...

	Actually she spent her points on Eidetic Memory -- she'd make a good Seraph of Lightning in many ways. Not quite so much Elohite, really; she's too likely to make judgments emotionally. But she's got Elohite mannerisms, much of the time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Seraph of Lightning very much in touch with her Inner Elohite? (Reply to this)(Parent)
