Anybody got some kind of multiversal adapter so I can transfer the stuff off my phone before the battery kicks it with no way to recharge? Just pictures, music, that kind of thing.

I can figure out all the software and file compatibility stuff, I just need someone who can give me the hardware to, you know, actually plug it in.

Damn, I hadn't even thought of that. Let me know if you figure out? All my equipment is completely wireless, though, not sure how in god's name I'll get them to recharge or share information.

Are you good with computers?

[hacker]

Scary good. If you let me at your equipment, I might be able to work some magic. Assuming we're not staring down the barrel of some sincerely embarrassing selfies or private emails here.

[ He still had countless of pics of him and Jim and the rest of the crew spanning four years on his PADD. All thanks to Kirk, king of 'lets immortalize this horribly embarrassing moment with a photo'. ]

Well, nothing x-rated at least. The sanctity of your eyes will be spared. My dignity, however, may be another story.

And please tell me you don't literally mean /magic/ I still can't wrap my brain around that shit yet.

[hacker]

Relax, Leonard. Figurative magic only. Are you still up on floor 44?

[goodgodman]

Thank god, a man can only take so much.

You mean the floor that's completely dark, silent and empty with almost no one else around? Hell no. I've been bunking down in Medbay until I can get my room reassigned. Why, you want to swing by?

[klutziness]

i haven't seen anything like that here but i'll keep my eyes peeled
might be able to throw some spare parts together and make something up

[hacker]

All I need is a 30-pin adapter on one end and something to plug into a TQ terminal on the other. If I show you the port, think you could work something up?

[klutziness]

i can definitely try
worst case scenario you'll be stuck with just ke$ha and some 80s rock

[hacker]

There are worse things. Thanks. I'll run it by later today.

I think there was a whole group of people doing file sharing a while ago.
I haven't ever ended up with one of my phones here, but I'm sure there has to be someone

[hacker]

Great. Someone must have worked it out then, right?

[consequence]

I'm sure someone has. The number of people that have shown up with their phones isn't slight. Having a way to salvage that last bit of home is a valuable commodity.

what year are you from?

[hacker]

Go ahead and file that one under questions I never thought I'd have to answer. 2014. You?

[notyourutopian]

You have a phone that runs on batteries and is full of music and pictures?

What?

[hacker]

Come on. You're on a ship full of monsters hurtling through outer space and you're surprised by smart phones?

[notyourutopian]

I feel like I'm surprised by everything here.

[hacker]

The whole thing's pretty trippy, I'll give you that.
What year are you from?

[kutte]

Got anything good on there?

[hacker]

Everything I have is good. You like the Arctic Monkeys?

[kutte]

I'll level with you, they're not my first choice. What else you got?

[hacker]

Well, G-Dragon, but that's mostly for when I'm coding and it doesn't really seem your speed. Got some Nirvana, Bob Dylan, Bad Religion.

[ Darcy has typed a message out to give voice - well, text - to her confusion, asking when Skye was graced with a smartphone by the ship. But then she notices the ID, and that's not the one she associates with her colleague.

Oh. ]

i have a set-up that can salvage your music. we have a program called spunes. like itunes, but more space.

[ This isn't the first time there's been some sort of reset or alternate version of a person around here, but it hasn't been anyone Darcy's gotten to know in the past. This is going to be awkward for a while, isn't it? ]

[ IT'S ONLY AWKWARD IF YOU MAKE IT AWKWARD, DARCY, GOSH. No but Skye's ignorant to all of this so she's just predictably enthusiastic. ]

Sweet! Where can I meet you to plug in and donate my cache of awesome music to the other unfortunate passengers of the USS Horrorship?

[ OH MY GOD, SKYE, THAT JUST MAKES IT WORSE!!! Her enthusiasm is so appreciated, though. ]

which floor did you claim a room on? i'll meet you in the lounge?

[ She doesn't doubt for a moment that Ward might be watching her communiques, or Fitzsimmons' for that matter. So she doesn't share her floor number even, because it might get someone else hurt. It's not that she doesn't trust Darcy. It's that she knows how public this is. And she knows that dodging it would only be more obvious. ]

[ A lie, but a well-meant one. Sam and his brother live on that floor. He'd told her he'd be careful, he'd be safe. If Ward went looking, Sam knew to be careful. ]
