"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't keep screaming."

[Separately private to Ben & Chromie]

I quit.

[This just for Ben:] If you're still pushed for staff, I'll work out a few days' notice.

[Private to Anya]

I…might have told you a bit of a fib when I said I didn't have a computer.

[Filtered to Megamind and Edward]

I won't deny that this was an interesting experiment, to say the very least, but...I think it's clear that I'm a third wheel.

And not in the sense that I have anything to offer by way of additional structural security.

Erik, I know...

[There’s a pause. She sounds a bit quiet, a bit lost, but not unemotional. On the contrary, it’s more like there’s too much going on and she’s struggling to keep a lid on it all.]

I know you didn’t do what you did for me.

[You did it for yourself. So you didn’t have to have a little girl's trauma on your conscience.

Though something still lingers. There's no reason not to walk. I - I'd like to see you do it.

He didn't have to say that to her younger self, knowing the older was the one it'd resonate with.]

But -- I want to thank you anyway.

[Private to 'Garrett Hobbs'; text]

You took advantage of me.

[She can't even tell if she's angry.]

I've been unpaired from Jesse. I still plan on keeping both my jobs. If that's alright.

[Even though she kind of hates both of them, it's marginally better than having nothing to do all day.]

[Private to Megamind]

...I can help. With the project you were talking about.

Jesse's fallen into a coma.

We're both in his cabin. Level 7, room 6.

I'll stay with him until someone brings a stretcher from the Infirmary.

[Private to Derek; voice]

[This comes a bit later.]

Hi.

Ah -

I've been thinking. About - what we talked about.

[Private to Duo]

Would it be possible for you to supervise Megamind's work in the engine room?

It's important that he be able to continue, but for personal reasons I'm no longer an appropriate supervisor for him.

[Private to Erik]

I've been given a map of London - some landmarks I don't recognise, so I expect it's a dissimilar world or after my time or both.

[A beat.]   You should go. Ports in December are usually fairly benign. I'll be giving this one a miss, I think.

[So....even better, right?  She assumes you're going with Charles if you're going at all. Which is just as well because she's not giving you her credit card, you'll probably ruin it the second you try to use your powers.]

[Private to Rhade]

I need to do some more testing but I'd say the lock'll be ready to install in a day or so.  I'm going to stay on board to finish it off.

[Private to Megamind]

Are you going out?  I don't think there's ever been a bad port in December, so…and London's wonderful, anyway. I lived there for about ten years.

...stay out of the southeast in general, though, there's nothing to see and you're likely to get mugged.

There's a new filter on the communicators. 'Special Access'. Does anyone know what purpose it's meant to serve? [Because she's not adding anyone to it until she can benefit from someone else's experimentation,]

[Private to Gaheris and Wanda]

I don't know that anyone else is going to say this, so - belatedly, I can't thank you enough for your help and for taking the risks involved. We wouldn't have made it out safely without you.

[Private to Duo]

Thank you for your help.

If you're planning to ask the Admiral for a key to the engine room then I'd be fine with sharing my schematics and working out a shift pattern. [And due to her unhealthy territoriality of the engine room she can't really bring herself to sound any more amenable than that.]

[Private to Megamind]

[Switching onto voice for this one. She sounds warm but tired ,and her voice is a little thick, which is only to be expected when she's been sleeping on and off for almost twenty hours.]

I feel like I could stand to be in bed for another day or so.

How...how are you?
