[When Parker had heard there was a new teleporter malfunction, she'd been thrilled. Turning into a shark had been awesome, so ever since Rookie's announcement that they were acting up again, she's been hopping back and forth through the teleporters, just waiting for something exciting to happen

Have a kid who looks about your age (though he's actually younger) on the other side of the video feed.]

You ain't going to jail. Nobody's going to jail. Not even sure there is one, except for the brig.

[okay she was...actually not really expecting anyone to answer, and certainly not a kid she's never seen before. Still, after a moment of uncertainty, she takes it well enough in stride. Someone is wrong on the network, and she must set them straight.]

What do you mean, there's no jail? Of course there's a jail.

...I don't mean like, grown-up jail, but it still counts.

[She's seen enough of her friends go to juvie that she knows.]

Fair enough. [He knew you could get tossed in there if you disobeyed; Emile had seen it often enough among his friends, too, and it was no fun.]

Why you think you might have to go there, though?

[There's another long silence as she looks at him suspiciously.]

Why do you care?

Miss, you're a sight too young to go to jail, yes? Everything will be all right. Is there an adult there with you?

[oh my god so many babbies babbies errywhere. DIS TELEPORTER ISSUE............

[wearesharker]

[uh oh.

She tenses up immediately at the sight of an adult, especially an adult asking questions like that.]

I don't need an adult.

[O-oh. WELL.]

I didn't mean to imply that you did, my dear. Forgive me if that's how it seemed.

[...oh. Is he not going to...try to take her away then?

She relaxes, just a fraction.]

Good.

Because...I don't.

[DECISIVE NOD. As soon as Kelly finds her, they'll go back home, and no, she definitely doesn't need any adults at all.]

[ Oh hell. Have a worried looking dude in uniform. ]

Parker? Is that you?

[wearesharker]

[...Sorry, O'Brien. She neither remembers you, nor goes by that name yet.

She knows, however, that uniforms are No Good at all. She tries to lean back out of the camera's line of sight, which...doesn't really work, since she's wearing it.]

No.

[ ...christ, why doesn't he know more about her THIS IS GOING TO BE SO AWKWARD. Anyway this is him trying his best to look non-threatening. ]

Hey, wait. I'm, uh, looking for a friend of mine. She's lost, and she doesn't know this place, and I'm really, really worried about her.

She's about your age.

[wearesharker]

[yeah sure like she's going to tell the uniform guy about another kid. Not that she knows anyone named Parker, anyway, but even if she did. She's not a rat.

So she just stares at O'Brien, her expression flat and just challenging him to question her.]

I haven't seen anyone.
