[A good chunk of Hopper1's time, once it actually GETS to the Barge, is finding a place it can be useful.
The rest of it is finding a place it can safely spend time without being overwhelmed, or causing a surprise transmutation. This battle does not need Malgams!
In all of the chaos, options such as the Greenhouse, the Library, the Engine Room... all get ruled out as people bring the fighting around, to various catastrophic ends. At least the Engine Room is still intact?
Still, it ends up settling somehow on one of the middle floors - in the Inmate Bathrooms, in fact - and tries to calm down.
Then, mindful of certain discussions it had had this month, it tries reaching out - to the Admiral, the Barge, whoever chooses to respond, if any of them are available during what's probably the height of the fighting.
It taps out, using what it hopes is Morse Code like what B was using:]
Testing. Testing. Can you hear me? Hello? Would like to talk.
[Over and over, perhaps in variations, until or unless someone responds.]
Sometime midway through the 27th
