mental link, day 32

[ Sam crashed hard after the vigil, because between all the lies making him feel like he was going to puke and trying to pick them apart giving him one mother of a headache, staying awake felt like something you only do if you really hate yourself.

Do all newfound psychic powers suck this bad? He was fine with just flying and blowing things up, thanks. ]


( By the way, just figured everybody should know: Seong-Hye Ngazi is full of crap, the Public Safety Commission isn't half as gung-ho about bringing the bomber to justice as she makes it sound, and I'm like ninety percent she actually knows who did it, but that part I'm not quite positive about.

So, you know. In case anybody wanted to break into her office or stalk her or something. I hear some of you guys are actually good at the cloak and dagger stuff.

You're welcome.

[ He can be found in the common area of the Bearings, scrolling through news reports and radiating pure frustration, if anyone would rather comment to his face instead of over the link. ]

( Manipulate? Not exactly. )

[ There's a very discernible flash of irritation. She doesn't like being told that she can't do something, especially something she considers herself very good at. ]

( Unless cracking into it using a computer is "manipulating". If I can deal with alien computer systems, this can't be that much harder. But sure, fill me in. )

( Hack, go head first against their security, do some kind of technokinesis thing, whatever it is you want to do that would involve poking at their digital fortress without asking nicely. Hell, even asking nicely is probably too much at this point. )

[ why are tech nerds always the first to get defensive about people doubting their skills? god, he misses just being a sports jock. ]

( I'm not saying you're not good at it, but you're also not the only one who's good at it. ) [ please just take his word for it, given Angel's in a coma and Rhys is, well, Rhys, and that leaves just Sam to make a show of it and his kind of show is really freaking weird. ] ( I'm from a place more advanced than this is, and I'm used to being able to just take over any kind of computer I can so much as touch. Cyber crime is about as bad as murder is, here. If you break into their systems, they'll know you did, and they'll know where to find you, and when they find you, they find the rest of us too. )

( They won't find me. )

[ She's being a bit brusque, but she feels like she's actually trying to make progress and instead there's someone here trying to put the brakes on before she's even had a chance to try. ]

( Just because you haven't been able to do it doesn't mean I can't. I've had to splice my computer into totally alien systems before and I've made it work! )

( Famous last words. Seriously? )

[ gods, he misses angel. she'd handle this better than he does. especially considering events of late and the fact they have lost people here. plus the part where EXTRAAA's already figured all of their identities out without breaking a sweat. ]

( You're not getting it. Even if there's a 1% chance you screw up, that makes all of us, all 27 people here, in danger. And yeah, that's great and I'm sure you're very good at what you do. I've hijacked an entire alien battlestar with my brain, while in a coma, before I knew frakking anything about computers. ) [ honestly not something he likes to talk about because then there's the 'what the actual fuck are you' that follows it, but it seems important to give perspective here. not only for himself - ] ( Angel's spent her whole life basically living and breathing code. It's not about if you can get in, it's about how closely they're watching, and considering it's the frakking Public Security Commissioner, I'd say it's pretty damn close. )

[ Wow, this sounds sorta familiar. Except last time someone had tried to lecture her about putting everyone in danger it had been about her trying to leave and look for her family on her own. This time it's actually a lot different in terms of context. Doesn't mean she likes hearing it. ]

( You're acting like I'm the least subtle person in the world. It's great that you can hack a battleship with your brain, but you don't know anything about me or what I can do! )

( It's not anything personal. If the patron frakking lord of circuitry came down from the heavens, I'd be telling them the same thing. )

[ and this apparently isn't doing him any good, so he'll try to dial it back some. pleading isn't something he likes to do, but if it saves him from being busted by public security and tossed up on a lab table once they figure out what he is, yeah, he'll go for it. ]

( Just, please. Do my anxiety a favor, wait a while to get used to the systems and let me and Angel show you what we've found. )

[ Pidge harumphs to herself. She's going to do a bit of digging on her own. Sure, they probably have a neat setup, but she's not about to wait just because someone else has cold feet. ]

( Fine. I'll wait. )

[ Spoilers: Pidge isn't going to wait. ]
