[DAY :042] do androids dream of electric sheep?

[PING. If you happen to be surfing the Concordian extranet, a familiar looking window pops into the browser. --It's familiar at first glance, anyway. This has no identifying user, no chat text box. It might be more easily mistaken for an error message. It says:]

Hello. I'm awake.

[After thirty seconds, the window closes on its own. Should anyone connect one dot to the next and go check in the room where Kellix the skele!droid has been stored, they'll find him-- well, still prone in the made bed, but his optical receptors are lit up and his internal systems seem to be making fairly regular whirring and whizzing noises. That's a good sign, right?

These messages pop up whenever Kellix wakes up, for however short the interval. Hope you like pop-ups.]

The underground is the subcity below sections of Concordia. Most of it has been renovated or collapsed, but there are still a few spaces that exist. It's difficult to access, but many people who prefer to be off the grid spend some time there or use it to move through the city without pinging id terminals and checkpoints.

[There's a trace of surprise there, but he moves on smoothly enough.]

The easiest way to access where I've left my components is to enter the railway maintenance tunnel of the gamma block D line at 601st and Archadin Crossway. Proceed sixty meters down the tunnel going East. On the left hand side you'll find a gap in the tunnel wall which will take you into a network of tunnels. Go straight through the first crossroads, then left, right, left, then through the window on the right. Be careful of the drop on the other side. You'll find a wall compartment in the room and the components inside it.

Be very careful and take a light. You might also consider bringing a weapon in case you run across a stranger.

[ More notes. More instructions to remember. Pidge doesn't mind it, but she's going to have to go over all of this later with a fine-toothed comb to make sure she doesn't mess anything up. Getting this wrong seems like it'd be a very bad idea. Especially since he's telling her to bring a weapon. ]

I think I can handle that part.

[ She's tougher than she looks. ]

You really didn't want anyone to find any of these, did you?

[onemind]

They're very expensive to replace.

[It sounds like he's making a joke.]

[greentech]

I'll try not to break anything.

[ She might be making a joke back. ]

[THANKS PIDGE, YOU'RE A GEM.]
