"Recently, you've all been told that there is a traitor.
"So you should probably know what it was I did."
[She pauses, searching for the words while she lets that sink in for a heavy moment. One might note that her tones are different; she doesn't sound like her usual robotic self when she speaks. Quite the opposite, actually. Rey sounds almost like-human. In her own way, you could say that this her one big "fuck you" to Smiley. You think she wouldn't tell everyone? Well, now she is. Full disclosure. So there.]
"I entered the dark corridors shortly after the DUPRR crew had docked the ship. Before long it became apparent that the things infesting the hallways weren't approaching me with any hostility. Because they weren't attacking, I was able to reach the secondary shuttle bay more or less without much incident. During that trek I made an effort to avoid others, not knowing the extent of the compulsion and whether it would also drive me to harm anyone who stood in the way." [Well, it's mostly the truth she speaks. You're welcome, William.]
"All that remained was the DUPRR pilot, Neson. Needing his trust, I tricked him into coming with me by pretending to be a person who was trustworthy. It's something I've become rather good at, actually -- pretending to be someone else, much like how I am right now. Despite the fact that something wanted me to kill this man, I decided to will against it.
"It didn't work as intended.
"Instead, I took him to the White Room. I opened the door. And I led him through.
"He's likely still in there right now, where it's kept him."
[She stops, still dizzied from the jump. The more she speaks, the more hoarse her voice gets. She hasn't been using it that much lately, and it's clear from her shadowed eyes and worn features that she's been neglecting more than just sharing this information.]
"Apparently, doing this has-- 'stopped the clock', whatever that means.
"For what it's worth, I'm sorry."

All right, [he concedes.] We ought to throw a funeral for the loss of our sanity, collectively. But then we'd have to tell them all what I did-- and I do appreciate you didn't. [His voice is gentler now, considerably. He looks at her with something like rue, but of course-- it can't be.]
no subject
No, wouldn't do that. Not unless you made that decision yourself.
[Snitches get stitches, after all. And she sure as fuck isn't going to start pointing fingers or even kid herself that what she did was a far cry from William...
[Besides, Smiley more or less took that choice from her, forced her to come clean regardless of what others think. She's not about to stoop to his level and do the same.]
no subject
Listen. You did a brave thing, coming out. If you hear about anything me or Medical can do to help-- fucking anything at all, you let me know, all right? Smiley might think the clock's stopped, but far as I can see, time's still moving very fucking inexorably forward.
no subject
[After a few seconds, she nods.]
Suppose it is.
...Thank you. [Pause.] And apologies. For yelling.
no subject
I should piss off and do some work now. Be in touch, yeah?
no subject
[Hah.]
Makes sense. Nothing quite beats the verbal abuse of a drill sergeant.
[She would know.
[And then she nods.] Will be in touch.
