Oh. Yeah, I'd only heard about that incident from North and South. [But he supposes York knows he'd been unconscious during the whole thing, otherwise he wouldn't be explaining...] Makes more sense now, knowing it was Maine. Not really a surprise that they hid that from us, too.
[There's a bitter tone in his voice now, and Wash shakes his head, just sort of letting that bit of new information settle. It's not really a surprise, but it is kind of a piss-off that he's only learning it all now.
The next question though, it causes him to pause for a moment, to lift his gaze back to York and just sort of stare at him quietly.]
He didn't die, if that's what you're wondering. I didn't kill him, I just...drew him inside the facility and set off the failsafe. ...The EMP. Shut all of his equipment down, rendered all of his armor enhancements useless, but also subsequently... [He pauses tentatively, honestly feeling a little bad, having to tell York what happened to Delta in the end.] ...It erased all the AIs he'd collected. It was the only way to stop him.
[He looks a little resigned here, and releases a slow breath.]
...Sorry. I tried to keep Delta safe, but I guess I made one too many mistakes with him.
