"You said it yourself: you have never done this before. And you are not part of Outreach any more."
"No, I'm not. I'm just me, doing what I can to help a friend."
Sophia's antennae twiddled. [ Look, look, ] it broadcast. [ That one is already interacting with the terminal. ]
Charlotte grinned. "If they're as sharp as you, they'll be terrors."
Wide eyes beheld the shimmer of instantiation for the first time...
[ feel free to nuke this or disregard it if you have Plans. Just fooling around before I do the last bits of packing. ]
Amanita shrugged modestly. "Srusei might, for sure. Mem too. Achiah... I don't know if she can handle it, but we'll see."
She turned away from the window, and breathed a huge sigh. "Anyway. It worked. It's done. We're all still here, and it looks like everything else is normal." Looking up at Charlotte-Sophia, and the Chrononaut in his rumpled uniform, she broke into a broad grin. "We did it."
