We have obtained a...

[Ecks glances offscreen, like she's trying to remember something.]

Cable.

[She holds up what looks like a data cable meant for plugging into a tablet. One end terminates in an intact plug; the other end shows ragged ends of bare wires that look like they were cut with a saw.]

It is from the room with many computers. It was from the wall. It did not react when we plugged the tablets into it so we cut it off of the wall and now we have it for using with a computer elsewhere.

Is it good?

very good
now we just need another half to make a full cable
we've seen another one somewhere else...
andromeda
we need to get the cable from inside her
rubikscomplex: (neutral | cigar)

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2018-08-19 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
because it needs to be able to connect at both ends
see the usb?
that's what'll connect up to a tablet
then we need another one like it that'll connect to a computer

andromeda had something like that
it's how they downloaded the data for the galaxy key
rubikscomplex: (pills | fiddle)

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2018-08-19 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
no
we're meeting back up with you and graham in the skywalk building
it'll be faster for someone else to pick up andromeda's cord
then meet with it in the bunker
rubikscomplex: (wat? | huh?)

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2018-08-20 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
why?
it's covered in mold
death mold
rubikscomplex: (suspicious | sideeye)

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2018-08-20 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[House sighs. He had been wanting to try out the heat suit idea with the mold, seeing if they can make it air-tight. If they could work on clearing mold without a breathing hazard, that might do something for their ability to check the floors in some of the rooms for trapdoors.

But he has to be obstinate for show, at least initially.]


really not sure why you think i like either of those things
rubikscomplex: (Default)

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2018-08-24 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
good for you
explain why that's relevant


[He knows why, but it's always fun to test her.]
rubikscomplex: (neutral | attentive)

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2018-08-27 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay. Fair.]

fine
i'm not staying, though
i've got a couple of experiments to run
then i'm out
rubikscomplex: (pills | fiddle)

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2018-08-27 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
good for you
i'll see you in a couple of days
don't lose the cable

I've got electrical tape and pliers. And a bunch of other things I'm leaving in the bunker, Room 24.

The tape should be enough to fix up two ends of a cable so they work, if we're careful. It'd be best if we have some of the cord's insulation, though.
rubikscomplex: (childish | colors)

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2018-08-20 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
does leaving mean
"leaving in the bunker while i head out"
or
"leaving in the bunker while i explore other parts of the bunker"?
if it's the first one
any chance you're leaving toward the chapel
to pick up the other half of the cord from everyone's favorite galaxy girl?
termineur: (Sure)

[personal profile] termineur 2018-08-20 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. It's the first one, but I've got something to take care of first at the high school.

If no one's gotten to it by the time I'm heading back, we'll stop by there and cut it off.
rubikscomplex: (srs | glasses 2)

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2018-08-20 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
what's up at the high school?
termineur: (Talk)

[personal profile] termineur 2018-08-20 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing you'd be interested in. Should be about five days or so before I can head to the chapel. So if anyone's twiddling their thumbs at the bunker, they'd be a better choice for this.

I'm meeting Stephen there and we're going to get some food after that. We're both pretty much out.

Hey, I told you.

But seriously, let me know if you need me to swing by there, once we're sure we're not going to starve to death.

I think you're stuck with the robo spiders at that point, and good luck convincing them to go in there.

Y-you sure you were supposed to cut it?

[... Too late to worry about now.]

We need one of those at the bunker. There's a file we gotta get off our tablets, and the guard station on the north's got a working computer.

[Wait.]

Room 24, like those supplies.

Andromeda's in the church, right? Is anyone on that, yet?

[... Walls aren't supposed to work that way.]

You did what you could, then.

I can reach her in two days if nobody's closer.

It's.. usually bad.

[He may have torn some, himself, to help with the bunker's power supply, so he's kind of the last person who should judge this.]

I mean, they don't work when they're broken. But now that you've got the other half covered, there's gotta be someone who can fix it.

Good work, Ecks. [ Castiel doesn't fully understand what that's for or what House and Gabriel are talking about, but it seems important. ]

I can go to retrieve the cable from Andromeda's body. There's something else I need to deliver to House that I picked up some time ago. And it's been some time since I've seen you.

[Hey, someone from the bunker. They've met in person, so video chat is unlocked!]

How far away are you? If you wanna get right to meeting them, I can do it, instead. Or if you can make it there tomorrow, we can trade off so you're not backtracking after.

[Maybe neither way saves time, given the other half's still with Ecks, but it'll definitely save effort for both of them, to know who's going in.]

I'll be at, uh..

[Wait, where's the paper copy he sketched up of the town map--]

322, I guess.
godsspeed: (ohhhhh)

[personal profile] godsspeed 2018-08-24 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
I'm in the bunker, so it will only take me a day to reach Andromeda's remains. Thank you for offering, though. If you would like to meet with me in person anyway, I'll be going to the high school directly afterwards.
fiftheclipse: (12096166)

[personal profile] fiftheclipse 2018-08-24 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Guess that explains standing around outside, doesn't it? Here I almost thought you liked the cold.

[Not really. But he's still unaware of that whole angels don't get jokes thing. So.]

Trying to catch up will slow both of us down. I'll be around when you guys get to the guard station.
godsspeed: (ohhhhh)

[personal profile] godsspeed 2018-08-29 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Castiel's not really sure what any of that means - he hasn't done much more standing around outside than anyone else - so he just. Doesn't respond. ]

Right. I'll see you then. Is there anything you need that I should see if I can find while I'm out?
godsspeed: (what)

[personal profile] godsspeed 2018-08-28 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
He is, yes. I'm glad you had the chance to talk to him, though.

What kind of cord am I looking for? It would be easiest for me if I had a picture. I'm still not very familiar with any of this technology.
godsspeed: (what)

[personal profile] godsspeed 2018-09-04 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. I'll try to find something as close to that as I can. [ It seems to him like it'd be much simpler if there weren't all these different kinds of connection, but for all he knows the shape has some vital effect on the data. Like how different forms of warding rely on different patterns to channel the energy of the cosmos. ]

Where did you find this one?
