Right, chaps. Cambridge here

I'm looking for a small group - a posse, if you will - of intrepid (preferably childless and unmarried) explorer and/or hero types to pop back in to the depths of that terribly interesting lab to retrieve whatever hard drives and assorted interesting bits of shit you saw there on my behalf

Reason being that there seems to be some kind of horribly intriguing and potentially nasty virus sitting around in that hardware and I do believe it warrants a bit of a poke (no jokes please, let's be professional)

Top tip: don't try anything stupid like plugging whatever pretty little bit of cybernetics you might have hardwired in to your brain straight in to it because I have a strong suspicion you'll end up thoroughly fucked

And I'm talking very thoroughly, like three orifices and both hands

You know what - let's play it safe, shall we?

- Don't press too many buttons
- Don't put your comms devices too near the equipment
- Don't even think of walking in to comms or the science department with so much as a bloody USB stick from that lab

In fact, just don't fuck with it at all - just bag it and tag it and bring it back to room 015 of passenger deck 011

Tea and medals for all upon a successful return



PRIVATE: CILLIAN QUINN
I do realise that the concept of an honest day's work is utterly abhorrent to the likes of you and I but if you fancy putting that attractive little brain of yours to work then let me know

What gives you the right to decide what happens to that equipment?

Good grief, I'm investigating a virus on behalf of a fellow passenger and the science department, not marching in to Poland. There's enough hardware for everyone else to play with if that's where your knickers are snagged

That doesn't explain why the equipment would be brought to your personal quarters and not to the labs where we can all inspect it. I just don't see how that's fair.

And my knickers have nothing to do with it.

Don't be stupid. It can't possibly be taken to our labs until we know more about the virus - if it infects the lab computers then it's a double portion of shit and chips for us and I'll make you bloody well eat it myself

As for why my own quarters - why not? I shan't stop you if you fancy taking a few to your own, I really don't care. Just don't network anything to your own comms device or you'll fuck us all

Obviously I wouldn't connect it to any of the computers, but I do have a program on my iPad from home that could come in use. Of course, I can't use it if I don't have access to the equipment.

And we're not allowed back in the new labs, so I can't exactly just take a few things.

Hence this post, good grief. Just take something from what they bring back. The only specific piece I've shotgunned for myself is something that charming Reaper fellow is fetching me but everything else is fair game for a fellow science bod. Besides, I'm desperately keen to see what good you think your iPad is against what looks like the bastard king of all bastard alien viruses. My money's on the virus

As long as you're willing to share...

[ gjkbdfg gwen's in high school still okay she's used to checking things out and being very organized and this isn't how things work but okay maybe it is. she's still adjusting!!! ]

I took a few videos of the labs while I was down ( up, over, still not sure where the labs are in relation to everything else ) there a couple weeks ago, if you'd like a visual. Rather, if the people going there for you would like a visual. It's a little dark, but it might be easier to find specific things if they actually know where to look, right?

And the program isn't meant to hack viruses, it's just... useful against them.

[ she uses it to screen the different encryptions used on the network, woops. not that it shows her how to break them, but it pulls the pieces out for her to see as plain text. ..sometimes. usually. okay more like plainish text. go OSCORP go? ]

How remarkably prescient of you. If you wouldn't mind forwarding those little videos of yours to Ms. Tyke then I'm certain she'd be able to put them to good use. Reconnaissance and all that. She'll be much obliged, I'm quite sure

And I don't suppose you'd be willing to let me cast a weather eye over that program of yours? It sounds rather intriguing

[interns]

I arrived here just after the first labs were found, so I knew having a visual aid to help clear everything up would have been beneficial. [ there's a pause because hm. showing them to Tyke. maybe. ] I'll forward them to Security.

Maybe. Will you let me help you analyze the equipment with you?
