Jen's Quarters, SPD HQ, Newtech City, California, THE FUTURE (Monday Evening Fandom Time)
Credit the time she'd spent in Fandom for the fact that Jen was actually stretched out on her bed relaxing tonight, not cooped up in her cubicle in the R&D sector and working. Granted, her relaxation-time amusement consisted of reviewing the video archive of last week's alien attacks, but tonight she wasn't going over them for analytical purposes

Sometimes it's magic. Sometimes it's technology. With my team it had something to do with mutant DNA being exposed to oxygen and please don't ask me how the hell that worked.
(I wonder that myself, a lot, but then on the other hand if they did I'd be out of a job.)
I heard about that class! I was tempted to drop in and check it out. And no, it's not spandex. I can hear Dr. Manx now, insisting it's not spandex. (Someday in the future, from here I mean, on the other side of the country, that's going to become another doctor's mantra, but I can't go telling Dr. Manx that.)
There's a shooting range here, so I do get to practice sometimes, and the gym facility is amazing. It's not the same, though, and there's Protocol if you know what I mean, so I don't think I'm going to get to help fight the bad guys. I'm mostly okay with that.
Honestly, about the beach? Last time I tried to go I was literally on my way out the door when the alarm sounded. Almost being bisected isn't fun.
Guys turned into girls again? I'm glad that didn't happen to any of my coworkers as far as I know. I can live without the mental image of Boom --
I can't even type it. Ew.

What is it? Fiona was guessing micro-ceramic nano-fibers, and then I kind of zoned out. But seriously, is that what it is?
I so need to get back to the shooting range, it's been ages, Triela is so going to kick my butt when Gun Club starts again. Protocol sucks, though! I mean, c'mon! You're so good at that... but if you're happy, I guess I'm happy.
Who's Boom? And would he make a really scary girl?
Arthur was ridiculously pretty. But I'd never ever tell him so.

Sorry, that's classified. I can't tell you. Sorry to say that's not a joke. I saw that clause somewhere in the metric ton of paperwork they made me sign. All I'm allowed to disclose is that no, it's not spandex.
Are you slacking on me there? You'd better get some practice in! Don't make me take a picture of my drill-sergeant face. Nobody wants that.
Boom is . . . Boom. He's a special one. And just scary in general, if in a good-hearted goofy kind of way.
Did anybody get pictures of Arthur? Oh my god.

Now I'm just gonna wonder forever. Seriously!
And no! Just, you know, doing other training. Did I tell you I'm learning to walk on air? I'm getting pretty good at it. And I might hit the range this weekend too. NO Drill Sergeant face! Heh. So there's Z and Bridge and Boom? I'm glad you're settling in well there.
I didn't get photos of Arthur, because I think he would've killed me dead. Some people just can't handle it. I did get some of Priestly though! So see attached!
