I am extremely torn between changing the title of the thread to "Alcohol squared" or "Homeopathic Doses of Violence."
((Even though you already changed the title, I'm going to point out that many homeopathics, especially the earlier ones, prescribed very
small doses, sometimes so small that you could count the molecules in a dose, if there were any. So, homeopathic doses of violence would be less like what the HMRC does and more like shooting a pillow out of a cannon in the general direction of someone several hundred thousand away.))
As everyone goes about their normal business of fucking about, something happens.
One of the windows a few stories up from the gangway breaks open a little bit. A moment later a signal flare, burning blindingly red and leaving a trail of smoke behind it, arcs out of the hole and over the gangway.
Huh.
Assuming Grate is nearby:
Grab the flare and throw it back out the window. ((The flare apparently didn't even hit the ship. I misread.))
If this is not lethal, continue trying to ask the AM for advice on auxiliary systems that would make Grate useful. If token(s) are still needed for Lyra's catgirl fund and the flare has not blown Grate to bits, donate a token or two.
