Therefore perfectly harmless to fire it once. To see what it does, of course. Can't hardly be expected to defend this ship and its crew without knowing our capabilities.
[ that's reasonable, actually. he does not judge not wanting to talk to the crew. ]
You aren't missing much but chatter and pryin' in your business. I don't like their [ gestures to his face to indicate the masked helmets. but he does tilt his head after a second. ] Might want to speak to Ganymede. Had some interesting things to say about the mechanisms they put in our blood. Something about making it easier to heal the body, protection from illnesses.
[ but this is with some measure of skepticism because they also said smoking was bad for you which seems like a lie. smoking is fine and has no ill effects. ]
[No, hold on, go back. He just has a lot of Thoughts and Feelings (sorry to Lucien, his worst half) about this in particular, especially recently!!! He is shaking his head.]
Fire it at what exactly? You can't just fire a high-energy beam weapon into the distance without knowing what may be there. What fuel or resources it may use up. I can certainly take a guess what it does, it destroys whatever it hits! That is cause enough not to fire it without reason.
[Okay, he is finished. ALSO SMOKING IS VERY BAD FOR YOU!! As a man who wears a mask later but doesn't know it yet, he has the strangest urge to be a bit insulted.]
[RUNNING A HAND THROUGH HIS ALREADY WILD HAIR! He's losing it! Why is Lucien a teenager?!]
Mr. Lucien, listen to me. Why am I becoming the Dean now? I know... what it's like to do something completely irrational and stupid. Do not play around with things you don't completely understand.
It's only been several days since we woke up in those chambers! We can't just go around firing every single laser cannon, or rifle, or whatever weapon simply because it's attached to the ship! We have to study what they are, what they do. I haven't even seen the damn thing!
[Why does this make it sound like he's interested, he wants to die.]
[ irrational and stupid has totally worked for him so far. and besides, how many more curses can you get at once? do these things stack? there has to be a limit.
anyway he acts like this because it works. see: viktor already starting to talk himself into wanting to Look at the gun. ]
It's perfectly available to observe. I even know where it is.

The expression grows more exasperated and weary. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?]
It's meant to be pointed outward. It's probably for defense.
[STOP TRYING TO BLOW THEM UP, LUCIEN!!!]
I see. I haven't spoken to any of them yet. [...] I'm not... the biggest fan of crowds.
[Tells the theater kid he hates crowds.]

I believe they're keeping me stable, yes.

… You understand now that I want to fire it more than ever, yes?
