[ someone's up and awake again. Not so tired sounding, though. This time, she's remembered to go and eat before she reaches out to the rest of the hive. ]

( Is anyone in the Bearings that can give me an update on what I've... missed? As much detail as possible.

If it were safer, I might suggest we start keeping more accessible records for these... interludes. )

[ She's not fond of this not knowing everything all the time ever. Which on the note of: she sighs, little echoing tumbling thought that is edged with frustration. ]

( And... does anyone what kind of tricks lions should do? Are they meant to be predators? Are they meant to be tamed?

.... Actually, does anyone know what a lion is? I'm starting to realise I don't know very much about animals if they aren't trying to eat you. Which isn't particularly useful, right now. )

[ ... and for anyone looking for Angel, she will be with a strew of mechanical parts around her that is half in her room, half in the corridor for her shiny new, tackely bright gold performing robotic lion. ]

( Welcome back! Since you've been out...uh, lessee.

Lot of new people showed up.

The Public Safety Commissioner knows something about the bombings, maybe even who the bomber is, and isn't planning to actually pursue it. Kinda like how Ven Diagrams was all gung ho to find them but then cancelled the reward? Kinda like that.

EXTRAAA sent us some smug "we know you're doing something" messages. Someone who actually talked to them can probably tell you more about that? I thought it was a pop-up ad and I closed it before I said anything. )

( EXTRAAA contacted us and I was out...?

Shit.

I mean. Damn it. Sorry. )

[ Damn, damn, damn, she wanted to talk to them. She loves the hive, she does, but not enough of them know what to do with technology, and she wasn't here. ]

( I guess that means whatever Ven is hiding I suppose, the Commissioner is on it too. Or maybe they're being paid off? )

( Hey, I've heard the four letter words, I'm not five. )

[ he is a Mature Teenager who is just fine with hearing Mature Words and Mature Things thank you! ]

( But, uhhhh. Could be? Or maybe just threats, I don't know. Steve and I went back through a lot of old stuff to see if she was a closet anti-synth, but nothing really seems that way. She's only gotten weird about it super recently. )

[ Oh - damn, again then, she fumbles then a little.

R u sure tho, Sam, r u sure ur a mature teenager. ]

( Oh that's not... you. My dad was... pretty strict about that kind of thing. He really didn't like it when I swore. I didn't think you couldn't handle it, I promise. I figure you probably know way worse. )

[ Because teengers, really. ]

( Huh... I guess there's something going on then. Do we have plans to find out soon? )

[ SUPER MATURE ]

( Yeah, Bruce and Mara are working on it. ) [ A beat. ] ( They're new. )

[ She could probably figure. ]

[ UHHUH. SHE BELIEVES IT. ]

( I... do we have a lot of new people? It feels... it feels like we do? )

( Yeah, there's like...ten more people since after I got here. )

[ This is what she gets for taking a nap. ]

( We haven't had that many... since, well when our first group woke up.... )

( It was in a couple of groups, not like ten at once. But still. It's a lot. )

[ He came down solo, look at all these people getting here in fours or fives. ]

( I guess a few at a time is a little bit easier to manage.

... Which, are you doing alright? Has it been easier? )

( I still think too loud, but it's getting better. )

( I'm glad. Are you able to get some quiet from time to time now? )

( Kinda. Still working on it! )

( Well if you're practising often, you'll be managing it easily in no time. )

( Hopefully! We'll see how it goes, I guess. )

[ He realizes that his own poor impulse control is...not helping. ]

( I know you will.

.... but do you still have my blanket? )

( Oh, crud, I knew I was forgetting about something.

It's in my room, I can go get it now. )

( I guess you got to keep it for longer than expected, huh?

No, it's alright. I am just glad it's been looked after. )

( Okay. Well, whenever you do need it back, tell me? )

( No problem. I shouldn't for a little while yet. Oh, did you get it cleaned or do I still need to take it? )

( Yeah, I went to get it cleaned after you were, uh, asleep. )

[ It seemed like the least he could do, since he clearly couldn't do anything about that. ]

( Thanks.

One last thing... I don't suppose EXTRAAA left a way to get in contact with them again, did they? )

( Nope. I think Sam was trying to figure out how to get ahold of them so we could ask them some more stuff? )

( Well, if they're hackers...

There's the fast way of getting their attention I guess? )

( Are you gonna do something that gets anyone else's attention? )
