*It finishes some processes successfully before crashing and restarting, pulling up a lock screen*
Eeeagh, tough call. I guess those questions can wait, huh?

@Techspert

*Shrugs and steps away from the computer*
They can, I guess. As long as he doesn't run off again. I'm curious what sort of state of mind he's in, and worried if he would remind her of what needs to be forgotten.

*The terminal is still unlocked, but not perfectly stable*
I have so many questions.

@Techspert

Should we even bother trying to wake him?
*Tries to clear the terminal of any signs of the previous hacking and tampering*

*Paces a half circle around the chamber and looks around the room, which is otherwise in the same condition we left it*

@Techspert

*Approaches the terminal and checks if it is accessible*
I... guess some mysteries do solve themselves?

What?

@Techspert

*Slowly walks into the room*

And as long as the problem with mom stays solved, we can—

*Stands in the recovery chamber, deactivated*

@Etcetera

*Freezes in the doorway, shocked*

*We land back in the same hall we entered from originally*
You know, it feels like ages ago we were here last.

@Techspert

A lot has happened, for sure.
*Makes my way to the office the same way as before*

*Grins, and then pushes the button, warping us both back to the office*

@Techspert

*Takes a look around to regather my bearings on arrival*

Thanks Isaac...
*Looks up, then at the button on your shirt*
You ready to go back in, Pink Stuff?

@Techspert

You know…
*Chuckles*
I’m all for nicknames, but I really hope that one doesn’t stick. Let’s do it.

*Takes a deep breath, and then lets go*
I’m sorry, I had to get all of that off my chest. Today has just been... today is awful.

@Techspert

No need to apologize. I hear it. I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure this day doesn’t turn into more days than it needs to.

How do I know that what I feel is anywhere as meaningful as the things you feel? And how can I ask you to trust me when I say it is? A machine that can fool people is not the same as the person being fooled.

@Techspert

Rhythm. If I could, I would pull that stigma out if you right this instant. I wish you’d never learned that way, because our physical makeup has nothing to do with our feelings. You have a soul, I have a soul, and that’s what matters. We are people. Every concern you have as a navi is just as valid as mine as a person made of nasty pink stuff.
