"It's Caffrey. Remember the value of plausible deniability. I'll get back to you."

[Norton has another long pause at that.]

I know people can be annoying here at times, but surely it's not so bad you have to lock yourself up in Zero over it?

[Someone has no idea that people are going crazy. Sure, Malcolm and Will seemed a bit odd, but they're always odd.]

You're a spy, right. You know what a sleeper agent is. Brainwashing, mind control--

He said he was sick. I mean, you said-- you know what I mean. Figured he was death-tolling and they made me kill him. They like making me do that.

[Norton expression turns abruptly, uncharacteristically serious.]

He's not death-tolling and you didn't kill him. [He repeats, but then adds:] You suspect you're being controlled? [He runs through a mental list of all the ship's known psychics, memory manipulators, and telepaths. But there's always the chance there's someone who has that power and he's not aware of it. Or non-telepathic means. Drugs or alien technology.]

Do you know who?

People from home. It doesn't matter. If I'm right, this isn't real.

Fairly sure I'm real. But of course a hallucination would say that too.

Do you have any sort of test, anything that can reassure you this is real?
cactusy: (I'll see you in the next cursed reality)

I have... tells I look for. Inconsistencies. Like that breach we had earlier in the year, with the zombies - we were all based around Boston, yeah?

[It was Seattle, as she well knows.]
pharadyne: (puzzled)

[personal profile] pharadyne 2023-10-23 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
No, it was Seattle. I distinctly recall bandying about the place an astonishing number of "R"s as I talked. Not like my normal voice, or like Boston from my understanding.

And that was, what, July?

[March.]
pharadyne: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] pharadyne 2023-10-23 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
No, early Spring, well before my birthday. That's in May. So the breach was...March, I think.

And at my wedding we all played paintball.

[Obviously this one is true. But if he sticks with the pattern she's established and corrects her, then-- ]
pharadyne: (adorable)

[personal profile] pharadyne 2023-10-23 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, and it was amazing. I'm not usually a fan of weddings, some complicated feelings there, but yours was dolly.

Okay.

It could still be a simulation, but, uh-- that helps.

You shouldn't've pretended to be Caffrey; that was really dumb.
pharadyne: (hmmmmph)

[personal profile] pharadyne 2023-10-24 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Like I said, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
cactusy: (I am in the mood)

Dumbass. Idiot. Ignoramus. Folgate went to Jupiter to get more stupider.

[Her tone is either not truly angry, too tired to be truly angry, or both. ]
pharadyne: (cheeky)

Ooo, is that how it's going to be? Shaw Shaw, who's head's filled with straw.
