Trauma, I acquired groceries. Teenage boys eat jerky and oreos, right? Also, you really need to do your laundry because I'm running out of your clothes to wear.

So, what can you people tell me about... Sero and Afterglow, was it? Specifically, the latter.

What, specifically, are you looking to learn?

[voice]

[hexyoutotuesday]

Everything I can. Got anything?

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

For what purpose is this research, precisely?

[voice]

[hexyoutotuesday]

Has anyone ever told you that you ask too many questions?

Can't a young lady just get to know the city she's residing in?

voice.

[crawdads]

Good times. [ to the jerky and oreos, of course. mmm. ] Oh-- Been asked this before, so I think I got it down this time.

[ a pause to recollect the info. brain. working. ]

They're these two companies, right? One of 'em wants to fix the "Core"? Hell, dunno what that is--, but the other doesn't. It's gotta do with sendin' us back, I think.

I know they do that human experimentation shit too, and sellin' people like slaves.

[ a pause. ]

Shit... Forgot which one was which.

[She will never admit that his accent warms her heart because it reminds her of Billy. But the sound of her voice is a bit more patient than usual because of it.]

It's okay that you don't remember which is which; it's just good to know there's some differentiation.

So, there's this "Core" thing and you don't know what it is. Do you know someone who could tell me about that?

voice.

[crawdads]

Let's see-- Didju try Edge yet? Seems like he knows whats goin' on most 'a the time. Or maybe Kei.

voice.

[hexyoutotuesday]

The lawyer's information is not worth the headache. But Kei... I'll keep that name in mind.

Hey... where are you from? Wait, wait, let me guess. Louisiana? No... Georgia! Is that right?

You're wearing them, you do the laundry. I have a job and that takes time. ...And you can get your own clothes too, you know.

...And yeah. ...Sure. They mainly survive on energy drinks though.

[voice]

[hexyoutotuesday]

Do you really want me trying to work appliances that could ruin what keeps you not naked? I shudder at the thought. Hey! Take me shopping, Trauma.

Those'll rot your kidneys, you know.

[voice]

[mademyhell]

I don't do shopping.

And my kidneys are more replaceable than my lungs, right Jinx?

[voice]

[hexyoutotuesday]

Oh what, did your mommy do it for you?

Could you repeat yourself on that last part? I couldn't hear you over the sound of me owning your ass.

[nom nom oreos....]

Just check out some of the flyers and brochures. That's as much as you can find out, I'm afraid.

[relatively Private]

I may have something for you.

Sounds like I need to do some hunting. I've got a plan.

And really? Is it your dignity, because you totally lost it with that stunt you pulled at the hospital.

[heavendivided]

...You know what, I think I just changed my mind.

[hexyoutotuesday]

It's like my mentors always said, "Never hold yourself accountable for anything you do on drugs." It also makes a pretty sound case in court.

So, what's up?

[Audio]

[neargenius]

....What is the reason for your preference for work with Afterglow?

[Audio]

[hexyoutotuesday]

I've grown bored with scientists over the years. And I hear they do genetic experiments, which is something I've already learned all there is to know about.

I want to learn something new.

[Audio]

[neargenius]

What do you intend to learn?

[Audio]

[hexyoutotuesday]

Whatever I can. Got anything to say on it, Near?
