Julianna had been outfitted with a number of devices. All them kept her...connected, to the ship. And therefore, to Owen as well. Her communicator gave him access to her bodily signs. He could monitor her heart rate, or her breathing. She had a holographic HUD that allowed him to access what she was seeing when she wasn't on the ship. So far, she was finding the most annoying new technology was a small earpiece that allowed her to understand common space-faring languages. That part of it was nice, was she did not like was it gave Owen the ability to speak to her privately.
This whisper function, of his was just as it sounded. He was talking to only her. It felt as intimate as it would have been if someone with a body had leaned in close to murmur to her in confidence. This kept her from noticing his disagreeable syntax.
Realistically, she was no longer listening to either of them. Owen was being kind of rude and...distracting. Her shoulder hunched near her ear as if she had been tickled and her heart thumped in her chest. She felt hot.
"I need both of you to stop talking," she said out loud. Finally, addressing them. "I'm trying to think." She lifted her hands towards her head to emphasize that they were annoying her. She made a soft, pained sound as an ache shot like lightning through her shoulder.
She dropped into the pilot chair as Owen defended himself against May'ev's teasing comment. For a moment, her mask displayed what looked like an 8-bit grinning emoticon. A semi-colon in front of a capital D.
;D
She was intentionally antagonizing him.
Julianna turned the chair around so she did not have to look at the sassy princess. She leaned her uninjured arm on the armrest. Rubbing idly at her temple. The other arm was limp in her lap.
"Your chassis was lost?" May'ev echoed. One hand stroked her would-be chin thoughtfully. One hand was still on her hip and two remained down at her sides. "How did that happen?"
"Princess, do you have any skills or information that would benefit us?"
May'ev seemed to perk. All of her hands clapping together. "I am a certified master engineer. And I am very familiar with this family of ships."

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
