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?

[ He has no idea that he is a step up. Honestly, he might be a little bit sad. But for now, he's smiling. ]

Yeah, well, I don't look for perfection anywhere. That's [ a good guy thing ] unrealistic, definitely.

So, uhm.

Dinner. Sometime. Somewhere?

[ He's trying so hard not to think about Roxanne right now, but as she was just invoked earlier, so she might be in that big brain of his looking on disapprovingly. But it's been like, two months! He's allowed to move on, right? ]

[ Not like she was ever going to care. ]

[Private]

[breakingmyheart]

We've got limited options for where. But - yes, definitely, dinner sometime.

[Private]

[megamind]

Depends on-- how comfortable you are in public. [ With him. Specifically. Because face it, he knows he's a freak. He won't be too put out if she doesn't want to be seen in public with him. ]

[Private]

[breakingmyheart]

[There's a pause.]

Do - do you think I'm going to be ashamed to be seen with you?

[Private]

[megamind]

...Ashamed seems like a strong word.

[ But he doesn't say it's inaccurate, either. ]

[Private]

[breakingmyheart]

Agreed.

I'm comfortable. In public. It's nobody else's business.

[Private]

[megamind]

Alright.

[ This is fine by him. Almost-- nice. Nicer than expected, really. ]

So after shift, sometime.

[Private]

[breakingmyheart]

I'll look forward to it.

[Private]

[megamind]

So will I.

You should get back to rest. [ Angnus whines a little, and nudges his arm. ] And I should take him out to potty. Again. Man, Kay never told me dogs would be so much work. Brainbots are way easier.

[Private]

[breakingmyheart]

[She laughs.]

I have rats. They're much more straightforward. I'll see you later, Megamind.

[She gives him a smile, and then she's off.]
