we might have a problem.

[ normally tony wouldn't bring this up at all, but creepy red smile thing is really fucking creepy and this is some shit out of a horror film. ]

not a demon problem, because unless i'm wrong winchester and the angel thing have that dealt with. was going to mention this before that came up, but not all of us can split our attention between two things. actually most of you can't. right, though, problem of the ship variety.

[ and then an attachment entitled i am a smile and i am creepy is sent to everyone's device. ]

i know what you're going to say, tony you made the creepy smiling thing mad. you're going to get us all killed. no, i'm not. what i did was discover something kind of important. the good ship tranquility is watching us. and as much as i'm cool with being watched, kind of want to know who the fuck is watching me on this huge ship. weirdly enough.

i know you two are watching everything. what do you say about this?

[ finally tony adjusts his device to video and if they pay attention, they see that he's in his suit. it's a bit of a way to intimidate them, but he's not going to come right out and say it. ]

Okay, whatever, you two are in charge along with Kirk. I don't care, if that's one of you two, I want to know. Everyone does, but I'm the one who asked the questions and got the answer so I get the first answer.

that alternative makes more sense than it probably should.

if we're working with that theory, how much control do you think the network could have over us, if it's strictly the network?

difficult to tell without a working diagnostic of the ships' programming structure.
if the comms network functions as an extension of a greater, overarching OS,
then feasibly the user could control or work in tandem
with some, if not all, of the rest of ship's processes.

complete control isn't an impossibility.

wonderful.

we could attempt a working diagnostic.

systems are still blocked on some sections. might be better than nothing. unless you two hacked into them and didn't tell me.

if i did, you would know.

[ Cause what are fake techno dads for, if not showing off what do. ]

we should ask spock.
for assistance.

...true. you'd show off and somehow lock me in a trojan horse afterward.

[ apparently being awesome. maybe drinking with. how do you shot being a techno-dad. ]

liability with kirk. they know each other. until there's something concrete, kind of not feeling like telling him.

i'd set your runtimes to a permanent flush cycle.

[ Don't sweat it, you're doing fine, T. ]

i could ask for discretion, barring kirk.
if he doesn't grant it, no disclosure.

it wouldn't be the first time i've asked.
he may mean the advantage we need.

fixed worse.

[ fine when in relation to this is really subjective, a. ]

even if he grants it, could lie. same issue we have with ward + resnik. because?

[ which is to say, why might he be the advantage you think we need. ]

maybe.
new variable, though.

[ The new variable being her, of course. ]

spock wouldn't like to me.

entertaining variable.

[ he likes her as a variable. ]

you sure about that?

[ Odd, most people find her an irritating variable. And those that don't, usually have sex with her. Tony, this may be a first. ]

yes.

[ Again: ]

spock wouldn't lie to me.
trust my judgment.

[ most people find tony irritating, he gets it. even his friends find him irritating sometimes. he really gets it. ]

i trust it. but people lie. even people you think won't.

[ he trusts her but not. ]

i don't trust him.

spock is singular.
his priorities map differently.

[ Part of Aberdeen thinks she should stop and reassess. Pressing the point didn't help anyone one, but— ]

he's the closest thing i have on this ship
to someone like me.

you believe him when he says that.
i've never talked to him. i don't- spock is-

[ he doesn't even want to finish the rest of that so he just sends a new text. ]

do what you want. i don't care. go tell him we need him because you don't trust what i can do. see if i care.

[ She doesn't know why she switches the feed, why she makes him look at her when she answers. Maybe it's because that's what normal people do. When they interact, when they try to be earnest.

Just one word: ] Don't.

[ theoretically tony could have left his feed on text, but it's aberdeen and he'll do it for her. because he knows she likes text better. ]

I'm not doing anything. [ a lie, but one tony doesn't really understand that he's telling. ] I gave you permission. You can ask him. I don't trust him, but what am I going to do, say no? I wouldn't be- we wouldn't- I wouldn't be treating you like I do if you knew the meaning of the word.
