[ TEXT ] in which cambridge makes a polite enquiry about her location
[ Hello, fellow crewmembers. If your device wasn’t on before IT CERTAINLY IS NOW! Cambridge - still nursing the mental wound of her power being so rudely culled and currently feeling obnoxiously disorientated - technopathically shoves a text transmission your way: ]
if somebody doesn't tell me exactly where the fuck I am then I am airlocking the whole bloody ship so help me god.
[ An idle threat, don’t you worry. If she had been at full strength then she might have attempted to slip her way through the ship’s systems but as it is she can barely switch a light off, let alone override the hundreds of security precautions that would undoubtedly stand between her and an airlock. Still, the impulse behind the threat is very real: uncertainty and fear mingled with a desperation to check that she wasn’t going mad and dreaming this all... ]
unless this is some hideously unfunny prank in which case you can all go to hell.
bad form, you bastards.

[ no, Connor, think of Goldfinger! The Bond Girls can die too! ]
actually I'm just terribly honest.
[ text ]
right, okay. since i don't actually know where you are, here it comes: please don't airlock the entire ship.[ GOLDFINGER IS AN ACCEPTABLE SUBSTITUTE ]
well i can appreciate that.
people keep telling me i'm a genius, so i guess there's my honesty quota filled for today
[ text ]
and isn't honesty so terribly liberating. but exactly what kind of people keep telling you you're a genius.

thanks. it'd really ruin everyone's day if we all died of decompression.
well, my friends and coworkers, mostly. we've saved the world a few times. or, alright, only the once but we've saved london an lot. i can't even count the times.
[ So it's not like it's unfounded... yes, all the ego fluffing. All of it. ]

we aim to get to them before anyone finds out, actually. that's our job. to not let the natural history museum know.[ he didn't really expect you too, and he doesn't have photo evidence or anything to prove it, but. THERE YOU GO. ]
