You [GET SEDATED AND HOOKED TO A PASIV] go to sleep for two days, and suddenly everything's taken care of. Sorry I wasn't around to help. If anyone needs me, I'm heading to Level 0.

[Private to friends Acquaintances]
Tell me you're okay.

[SPAM FOR PERRY lol you get no say in this Jessi][And Arthur heads on down to Level 0, stopping in front of

SPAM - lol I was going to post Perry asking to be let out anyway c:

[hatestriangles]

[Perry's sitting on the bunk in his cell just watching the other people in the cells. Mainly watching Rex. He doesn't move when Arthur comes in, just flicks his eyes to watch him instead.]

You think?

SPAM - FAB

[paradoxlol]

When I open the door, [Arthur jerks a thumb back at Rex's cell.] you don't go anywhere near there. Got it?

[And, since his item's in his pocket, he moves to open Perry's cell.]

[hatestriangles]

[PERRY IS ACTING SUSPICIOUSLY CALM RIGHT NOW.]

Got it, warden.

[And when the cell's open, he just gets up and walks calmly out to stand by Arthur, arms crossed. There's some tension in his muscles, but frankly, much less than you might expect.]

[GDIT ARTHUR DOESN'T TRUST YOUR CALMNESS.]

Come on. Let's go somewhere we can talk. [He rubs his eyes, still a little fucked up from being sedated for two days.] And get a drink. Not optional.

[batmanschmatman]

I'm fine. How are you?

Private

[paradoxlol]

Good, I mean. Considering. I see you helped coordinate first aid when things went to hell. Didn't run into much trouble, did you?

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Nope. They more or less left us alone, but Tim and I did disable the agents in the actual infirmary, so we did see some action. All things considered, we made it out okay.

Private

[paradoxlol]

Good. Glad the casualties weren't as high as they could've been.

[Private] voice

[imaginationlol]

Great. So our minds aren't safe even when there's not a flood on.

I do apologize, Arthur. [The specifics are implied.]

[Private] voice

[paradoxlol]

Looks like it. I want to know what the hell is capable of that level of control over a person.

I'm just glad you didn't opt for lethal force.

[Private] voice

[imaginationlol]

Most likely ingested and able to be terminated from a long distance, if others' reactions and my own are any indication. No idea what it was.

[He'll leave out the bit about how the PASIV had the potential to be longer term and more effective.] As am I.

Do you need any additional explanation or can we still trust each other to some degree?

[Private] voice

[paradoxlol]

Just one thing: does he know? About us, the technology, the jobs...?

Private

[ourlastbesthope]

Two days? And I just got ten.

But I'm fine. What happened to you?

Private

[paradoxlol]

Did you dream?

Somebody sedated me when everything went to hell.

Private

[ourlastbesthope]

Just the same nightmare.

Sedated you? Why?

Private

[paradoxlol]

The same nightmare for over a week?

To take me out of the picture is my guess. Keep me from helping put a stop to whatever Rex's plan was.

[ichoosefight]

I'm okay.

[ But you don't get video. That would be far too incriminating. ]

voice

[paradoxlol]

Glad to see the casualties were kept to a minimum.

voice

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, we did pretty well this time around. Although if we ever have half a dozen super powered jerks running around the ship again, I'm hiding in my room.

voice

[paradoxlol]

Yeah? I wouldn't mind trying my new and improved sparring skills on them.
