[This message is a physical note, attached to her door.]

There are a lot of hackers and people with above average computer skills here. When you feel up to it, I can help you safeguard your information a little more tightly.

[Katina doesn't have to hack anything to know that something's up. At some point when Zoe leaves her room, Katina's going to simply wait by her door for however long it takes her to return.]

[mechaotaku]

[Coming back with a packaged sandwich and water, she sees Katina and is surprised. She tries to avoid looking at her in the eye.]

...Sorry, can training wait a while? I'm not really feeling up to it right now.

[grandtheftmecha]

[Katina almost feels like laughing at the assumption.]

You sure don't look it either.

What happened? This about Setsuna?

[It's just a guess, but the guy just got back from being a prisoner, and it's easy to see that the two are close.]

[mechaotaku]

[She lowers her head a little.]

SorryI'vegottogo...

[And she moves toward the door.]

Zoe Kerrison.

Setsuna never did handle his emotions well. I apologize, and I'll discipline him for that outburst as soon as he recovers sufficiently to survive it.

[mechaotaku]

[There's a text sent back to him without much delay.]

Thanks Tieria but there's no need to apologize. Even like he is now, there were things that were said that are somewhat true. So don't worry about it.

[in_yo_veda]

There's still no reason for that kind of outburst at a friend of his.

...tch, I'm a bit of a hypocrite, aren't I?

Regardless...I learned recently that dwelling on your past is a poor choice, even if you want to.

Can we assume that they had plans to go out but she forgot? <3 If not I'll edit

[God, where was Zoe?? She was supposed to meet Alex like an hour ago. She had to go all the way into space she knows it was easy thanks to boson jumping but shut up to go looking for her?]

[Knocks heavily?] Zoe? Hellooo? Earth to Zoe? You there?

Sure!

[mechaotaku]

[After a few seconds, there's a meow from inside of the room, although muffled. It gets a bit louder as time progresses, and finally paws are heard scratching at the door which is unlocked.]

[infinitehistory]

[She knocks on the door some more]

Hey Ratchet, you're a smart kitty, aren't you?

[mechaotaku]

[And that just gets him to start meowing.]

Hey, stop that. Stupid cat.

[She sounds a little weird.]

*Julius saw the bad computer work but didn't bother breaking into it. He knows Zoe is better than that, she is a mobile suit engineer after all. So obviously something is really wrong. So he finds her and wants to talk. When he does... he approaches her solemnly, he knows something is terribly wrong instantly. But has no clue what it is.*

Zoe?

[mechaotaku]

[Food in hand, she sees Julius and her gut reaction is to dart behind something. Unfortunately, he's too smart for that, so she tries her best to put up a good front.]

Yeah? What's up?

[driftingpersona]

I was about to ask you the same thing actually. I saw your private post. It was uncharacteristically underprotected.

I didn't read it though. That... well... I wouldn't want anyone to take advantage of me like that. But I knew something was wrong so well... I decided to come find you.

[mechaotaku]

[She blinked. Was it? She hadn't looked back on it, and suddenly a small bit of panic set in. She shakes her head.]

It's nothing.
