mental link, day...36? sure.

[ Technically, it came up a few days ago, but Sam's been letting something bounce around in his head to see if the possibility gets less troublesome after he sleeps on it. And sleeps on it a couple more times.

or he's just saying it late so the newbies can hear it too, w/e

It's not getting any less freaky. So, out of left field: ]

( So if aliens can hack our emotions, do we...actually know they can't mess with everything else? Memories? Are we actually who we think we are?

What if there is no spoon? )

[ how have you met a lot of aliens sam what is your life ]

( I don't think it's the same way here. Not with this kind. They already have us here. We chose to come. They don't need to mess with anything else. )

[headinjuries]

( Yeah, I guess so. )

[ Look, someone's gotta be paranoid of these things and half of y'all apparently never saw The Matrix so - ]

[deployed]

( What brought this on? )

[headinjuries]

( Partly Pidge brought it up earlier and partly I've seen too many movies, I guess. )

[deployed]

[ movies??????????????????????? ]

( I wouldn't worry about it. There's plenty of other ways they can mess with us without going after our thoughts. )

[ Reassurances with Bellamy Blake. ]

( Focus on what you can deal with. Hypotheticals aren't going to make being here any easier. )

[headinjuries]

( Right. )

[ nobody understands that this is a real important concern, if Keanu Reeves shows up in the nest he's saying I TOLD YOU SO. ]

[deployed]

( You want something to take your mind off it? )

[ off...spoons?? and keanu reeves?? ]

[headinjuries]

[ He is, honestly, amazed that nobody has asked him to explain the spoon yet. ]

( Wouldn't hurt, I guess. )

[deployed]

( You any good at hand to hand combat? )

[ Punching away uncertainty is a patented Bellamy Blake coping method. ]

[headinjuries]

( Uh. Working on it? )

[ He's not used to doing it without a lot of firepower to back him up. Which needs to be fixed, but it's going to take him a while. ]

[deployed]

( Do you want to work on it now? )

[ Bellamy's not as good as some of the other members of the Hive, but he's got his own strengths he can at least attempt to pass along. ]

( I promise I'll go easy on you. )

[headinjuries]

( Sure, why not. )

[ Hopefully Bruce won't pop out of the nearest shadow after they're done and make him go another few rounds until he can't move. Sam wouldn't put it past him. ]

[deployed]

( Meet me on the roof. )

[ Fingers crossed. ]
