UNKNOWN:Hi, Rian.

RW:Who is this?

UNKNOWN:Do I need to spell it out for you?

RW:Ada.

RW:WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, ADA?!

UNKNOWN:Okay, you’re mad.

RW:WHAT HAVE YOU DONE???

UNKNOWN:You’re so dramatic.

UNKNOWN:But also, need I point out that I don’t have any information that the government hasn’t already granted Strom Fetor?4

UNKNOWN:I’m just smart enough to use it.

RW:WHERE ARE YOU?

UNKNOWN:Just outside a portal.

RW:Which one?

UNKNOWN:I’mnotgoing to tell you which portal, silly. Just know I’m going to skip around the whole galaxy for a bit. Got some exploring to do.

RW:So...what? You used me to get into the communications network? That about it?

UNKNOWN:. . .

RW:You can’t get away with this, Ada. You’re playing with thegovernmentnow.

UNKNOWN:Oooo, scary.

RW:ADA.

UNKNOWN:RIAN.

RW:You know I can’t just let this slide.

RW:You know I’m going to have to arrest you. For real. It won’t be trumped-up kidnapping charges.

RW:These are serious crimes, Ada.

UNKNOWN:Oh, I know.

UNKNOWN:But you know what else I know?
