I promise I'm not going to get myself deleted here. But I'm not letting you do this alone.

@Techspert

I’m not alone if you’re just taking a break. I’m fine.
*Kisses you on the forehead*
But I won’t make you do anything. I trust your judgment of your limits.
*Turns toward the tower and focuses on the top, trying to distinguish the any and all outgoing signals*

*Holds a hand to my temple*
Forget that. I’m sticking with this.

@Techspert

*Walks over to you*
Rhythm…
*Puts one hand gently on your cheek and looks you in the eyes*
I don’t want anything to happen to you in a government secured trespassing session. Promise you’ll step away if you need to and come back.

I’m having a tough...
*Closes my eyes and turns my head for a few seconds to clear my thoughts*
Time with some of these hotspots. They keep... scrambling bits...

@Techspert

You can step away if you need to. I can continue alone. I don’t need or want you passing out on me or anything, last thing we want is you getting hurt or sick.

*Puts my hand against a nearby decorative pillar, but then recoils as if shocked*

@Techspert

Maybe w-
*Turns to you and notices*
You okay?

Disrupting the satellite is going to be noisy. Plus, we’re exposed up here.

@Techspert

Maybe coming up here was a mistake…
*Puts my hand on my chin and stares at it*

*The beacon system is surrounded by reinforced glass on all sides, including below, and is only connected by a hair-width optical fiber running between the seams, along with indiscernible wireless protocols*
I brought a vampire tap just in case, but it looks like that thing is using glass all the way down. I’m not really interested in logging in if I can avoid it.

@Techspert

You think disabling security here would do more harm than good?

*Kicks at one of them*
Aaaand they're not working. Maybe this place really is a massive trap.

@Techspert

I didn’t even do it this time either. So it does worry me.
*Walks one lap around the array, analyzing it top to bottom*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Catches your gaze and blushes, but then smiles*
Okay, fine. That was pretty cute.

@Techspert

*Chuckles as I set you down on your feet*
No you.
*Turns toward the cameras finally in acknowledgment, now that we’re both up here*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I feel like a data piñata.
*Holds onto the handle and relaxes my elbow*

@Techspert

Please don’t burst open.
*I stand as close to the edge as I can and hold my armored hand straight out over it, and a moment later you quickly, but not joltingly, are pulled upward by an attraction between my armor and the thing you hold. I catch you and pull you in, holding you in my arms as I spin you around quickly, making sure not to snag the barbed edges*
Magic!
*Smiles widely*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Why do you just have this?
*Grabs onto it and pockets my knives*

@Techspert

Doing dangerous stuff when you’re not a super powered invulnerable behemoth just means you need to compensate with utility. That thing just so happens to serve a few gravity-defying functions. Put it on your hand and hold your hand straight up. Make sure it’s tight and secure.
