[Well... That trip home had been enlightening. Unless it was some kind of strange dream. And the fact that Allison was gone and he woke up somewhere other than where he'd last been with her...

Besides, he doesn't sleep. Not really. He's an AI. He turns on the comm on video without thinking about it as he looks his body over...]

Yes! I'm not a damn Tonka truck anymore. A definite improvement.

I thought this place was bad for people not staying dead... Actually? I think I'm going to make a point to never assume someone died again. It just bites me in the ass later.  Here or at home.

[Actually focusing on the comm now.] Something really strange just happened... I was home again. I don't know if it was a dream or real, but I woke up someplace else here when it was done and Allison is gone. Has anyone seen her? She's a Pricklemane.

Understood. When that happens, please be careful. Sometimes seeking revenge doesn't end well.

[Delta looks down again when York yelps.]

Is she aware of what happened to York and to myself?

[fearmylaserface]

I'm starting to remember things, Delta... He needs to pay.

And she knew. She was checking the logs of what happened...

[allfunandgamesuntil]

[York scrambles back into view (or at least enough that you can see his face); Sparky is on his back and the hebby repp is resting his head on top of York's like some kind of bizarre living hat.]

Which logs?

[fearmylaserface]

The recordings of the fight when you were killed. She wanted to see that fortress. She didn't know that someone had the brilliant idea to move me to her vehicle.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

...you put yourself in a Mongoose, didn't you? That's the Tonka truck story.

Certain classes of vehicles do allow AI support, York.

A Mongoose, D.

[Guess who isn't ready to address the actual point.]

[fearmylaserface]

I didn't do it. They did it. Said it was a good way to spy on her.

[Yes. That's embarrassment.] And yes, a fucking Mongoose. Shut up.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

[York sobers abruptly.]

So where did you get recordings of that fight, Church?

[fearmylaserface]

They weren't my recordings. She was playing that before she knew I was there.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

She must have gotten into the records...that would have been pretty risky.

[York shakes his head.]

That's Carolina all over.

[He shakes himself.]

Thanks for telling me. I'll sign off now; we can work on the knife thing...later.

[fearmylaserface]

Not that hard. I've been in those records. Then again... The security system thought I was the Director.

[nods] When you feel up to it, let me know. Until then, goodbye.
