[Network] @hotstud_xxx; video | Day 52, evening [open]

[The video feed will show the inside of a tool shed where a small, flying robot is moving around in the dim light cast by the tablet.]

Hey, Trinity! Wibblelips! Look what I found. It flies, it screams, it's alive. It also happens to be the reason I'm stuck in a shed for the night. Now, I got a screwdriver.

[The screwdriver is held up into view in a pink-gloved hand.]

And I got a hammer.

[The screwdriver is set down and the hammer is picked up to show.]

It's a hammer of justice. It's a hammer of warning. And it's going to be the hammer I take to that freaking thing unless you tell me how to get it to stop screaming in my face. Hiro, you needed some robot parts, right? Might be able to get you some.

Mmhmm... your amazing powers of deduction to see through every name I've given. I can count on one hand the number of people here who know what my name is Janey. You aren't one of them.

[cloneprincess]

My amazing powers of deduction know when something's gotten under your skin.

If it's just another alias, why do you care if everyone thinks it's real? Why does Clayton?

Private

[rubikscomplex]

Because Epps wants me to like him. Like he wants everyone to like him. So he's freaking out now that things are getting serious and he's the one who started it.

You wanna know my real name? Sure. It's Greg. That's still not what people call me. So what's your real name?

[cloneprincess]

Jane. But you can call me whatever you like; I've yet to object to - what was it? - genetically perfect bitch, have I?

And he didn't start it. It was bothering you long before now.

[rubikscomplex]

[ Never going to believe that. Sorry, Jane. ]

Got an ID in that catsuit?

video, still private

[ Miranda holds up a very small device that may be a computer. ]

If you can get this working, I'll give you all my information.

[rubikscomplex]

You got a power cord for that? Because I hear tell there's a little angel around here with charging ports in her head.

Re: video; private

[cloneprincess]

[ It's not often that Miranda doesn't know what to make of something, but 'charging ports in her head' gives her pause. ]

I'm sorry, she has what in her head?

[rubikscomplex]

And here I thought you took good notes.

[ Why, yes. He's going to use this moment to be smug that she missed something like that. ]

[cloneprincess]

Cute.

[ Fine, she'll find out on her own. ]

[rubikscomplex]

Get back to me once she's got you all charged up. And that's a euphemism.

[cloneprincess]

She's twelve, you're disgusting.

[rubikscomplex]

Are we talking about the same person? Because Trin's pretty smokin' for a 12-year-old.

[cloneprincess]

She's at least twenty years younger than you are. Add dirty old an to your list of flaws?

[rubikscomplex]

Age is only a number, dude. And that's the thing you're gonna bust my balls over? Aww... does Janey have a little sister crush?

[cloneprincess]

I have no interest in busting your anything.

Greg.

[rubikscomplex]

I'll take that as a yes. And it's Dr. Gregory to you, until we start sleeping together.

[Anything to get away from freaking 'Greg.']

[cloneprincess]

[ No response, but that was a beautiful tactical error. She's going to be feeling warm and fuzzy about it all day. ]
