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?

Comments

[Voice]

[breakingmyheart]

I suppose that's possible. [Man, fuck that noise, nobody's getting in her room.]

...how are you feeling?

[Voice]

[yeahscience]

It's either rooms or jobs. Like what else do we even have access to? [Doot doot avoiding the question.]

[Voice]

[breakingmyheart]

I suppose it makes more sense than having keys copied.

[Private]

I know it's not my business, but you really don't sound well.

[Voice]

[yeahscience]

Bet it's 'cause of all the key shit that went down in that last flood.

[Private]

It's probably just the freaking pepper.

Private

[breakingmyheart]

....the...pepper?

You've lost me. I didn't go into port. [Or pay much attention to the network presence of those who did.]

Private

[yeahscience]

Probably a good call. It sucked way more than you'd think, watching the cartoon.

Private

[breakingmyheart]

I never saw the film. Read the book, though. [Tosh, you read the book because it was a critique of abstract mathematics, that is the wrong reason to read Alice In Wonderland.] I don't remember it sounding...fun.

Private

[yeahscience]

[And he did not read the book because it was a book.] I just remember way less acts of like terrorism going on in the movie, that's all. It was messed. up.

So yeah, probably the pepper bomb.

Private

[breakingmyheart]

Well, that's what's going to happen when the crew of the Barge gets mixed up in children's literature.

Have you been to the Infirmary?

Private

[yeahscience]

For pepper? [Like it's even the pepper.] -- Jesus, you don't think we're gonna hit, like, Wayside School next, do you?

Re: Private

[breakingmyheart]

You're assuming that's all it was.

Wayside School?

Private

[yeahscience]

Probably. [Or the ultra-meth withdrawal.] You remember? Wayside School? Those dumb books with the super tall school that was missing a floor or whatever, and all the crazy-ass teachers?

Re: Private

[breakingmyheart]

I...don't think those were published in Japan when I was little.

Private

[yeahscience]

Oh. So maybe the like... manga equivalent, then.
