Someone has to keep us on track.

[Rather than getting distracted by witty banter, being the implication, but he might be feeling a little pettily offended by the idea of his skills being party tricks.]

It's not my tricks we're here for.

[There isn't a safe here for him to crack. There's tech for her to hack, and the sudden problem that's apparently presenting has him saying it more like a warning. They may only be two minutes in, but they've done enough already. They have to walk away with something.]

I don't do tricks.

[Work, not tricks. Darlene shoves aside more scarves as she leans in to get a closer look, like that's going to make much of a difference.]

This thing is straight outta the alien 70s at best. I can probably do something, but we're pretty much working analog, which means no network, and probably very little storage. Bonus: also very little security.

[That's a small bonus at best. Darlene starts punching in numbers on the keypad, watching the rest of the machine for any kind of response--a whir, a buzz, a print of paper. A machine is a machine and a button is a button and even if you're keysmashing, you can get somewhere.]

If nothing else, I say we take whatever printouts we find and do this manual. You-- [Richie, naturally] --probs can't read his mind while you're doing whatever it is you are actually doing, right.
