[For moment, it is almost like the Guide had been switched to voice mode, because only a warm shade of lavender fills the screen.  Midii can be heard having a discussion with an unknown individual, her voice oddly calm and business-like for her young age.]

I'm giving you coordinates. Don't ask questions and head to them now.

[Aww yeah. Informant buddies looking out for each other!]

[Raises an eyebro-can you even see that with the sunglasses?]

What do you mean by that?

Re: [Action]

[theforgottenune]

Well...for one, it's pretty amazing that you just happened to be around when I needed help, cover on hand.

If I didn't know better, I'd think you had hacked into the homing pin Lady Une gave me, or something.

[Action]

[notwhelmed]

Well actually, you had accidentally video'd your entire conversation. So it didn't take a lot to figure out you needed help.

But now that I know you got one, I can totally hack that too.

[theforgottenune]

[Frown. She'd forgotten about that.]

[This GUIDE self-activation business was definitely something she'd have to look further into; while it ultimately proved helpful this time, there would no doubt me moments in the future that she would wish to keep private from the rest of the ship.]

[In the meantime...]

Why would even want to hack my pin, anyway?

[Robin is probably going to dismantle his. First he should acquire a new one though, before dismantling something he might need to use in the far future. But hey, science! And curiosity of a thirteen year-old vigilante!]

I don't know. You brought it up in the first place.

[Action] - This is the closest thing she has to a "glare" face. T.T

[...stay away from her Babelfish, little boy. >.>]

I didn't tell you to hack it!

[Action]

[notwhelmed]

[He's very capable shush.]

I didn't even hack it yet! I didn't say I was actually going to!

[At turning perfectly useful technology into a pile of scrap metal and parts.]

That's what it sounded like to me.

Re: [Action]

[notwhelmed]

[Okay. He's not that terrible at these things. He knows what he's doing. But who knows what the Guide is made of!]

You just mentioned it and I said I could. I didn't say I would.

Re: [Action]

[theforgottenune]

[I never said he wouldn't eventually put it back together!]

...true.

I apologize. I guess I'm still a little nervous when it comes to privacy issues.

[Action]

[notwhelmed]

Don't worry about it. I got taught privacy paranoia from probably one of the most paranoid guys out there. If anything, I know what it's like. It's why I have to keep everything I have on me or completely locked up or something.

[His utility belt is actually in one of the sleeves of his jacket. This is canon too.]

[Action]

[theforgottenune]

Who?

I do the same thing, actually. Habit from constantly traveling from place to place. You kept what you could carry, essentially.

[And they say Superman's the boy scout. "Be Prepared" and all that...]

Re: [Action]

[notwhelmed]

My mentor. [He's not going to say a lot yet.]

Always be prepared. Expect the unexpected. I guess we both had that drilled into their heads.

[Never leave without it!]

Re: [Action]

[theforgottenune]

Another vigilante, I assume.

[She's slowly starting to piece together the puzzle.]

Among other things.

Re: [Action]

[notwhelmed]

Uh huh.

[It's not too hard of a puzzle, until you try to hit the core of everything.]
