How long before the complaints ad nauseum cease, another hour? Two? Perhaps someone would like to give us an inkling as to what the flood is this time. Even the faintest of usefulness is preferable to listening to the lamentations of humans.

[Private to T-X]

Give me access to the lab.

[Notice she's not wearing the Vulcan guise for you...]

Why is your access invalid?

[Which is the more important thing. :|]

Why do you look like that? [She would be scoffing if she was anymore emotional.] You're affected.

Re: Video - private:

[t_x_unit]

My appearance is unchanged. Your hair, however, has lengthened...

Why is my laboratory clearance requested?

Re: Video - private:

[with_discipline]

My hair hasn't been short for years. [She's frowning with her eyebrows, now.]

You're my warden. Keep the fact that you're affected quiet, and allow me access to the lab. It will go better for the both of us.

[There's, like, a fraction of a second longer than usual taken for a pause. This is a long time for a robot...]

This supposition does not conform to internal data logs.

[What follows are two or three videos which T'Pol either previously committed to the network or which the T-X recorded of her while patrolling the ship. They're from the 'other' reality. The one where she has the less awesome hair and is actually seeming normal and stuff.]

Your typical status is not inmate... It is warden.

Re: Video - private:

[with_discipline]

[What. Is. This. T'Pol is pausing for a long while to watch these.]

And is yours inmate?

Re: Video - private:

[t_x_unit]

It is not.

This is not dissimilar to another temporary experience, previously mentioned in others' logs. I cannot predict if my actions are interfering in another reality stream or if you are the same T'Pol who has been influenced.

One of us may soon cease to exist here.

Or it could be permanent.

Alternate universes colliding. [She hates this shit.]

It's more likely we'll simply separate. [A beat.] I may require your assistance, while you are here.

Re: Video - private:

[t_x_unit]

My mission is compromised...

[Emotionless robots, T'Pol. THEY'RE JUST LIKE YOU. Which means all the thought process is inside its mind. This one, specifically, is finding the result of that equation doesn't sit too well with its directives.]

This holds unwelcome possibilities. New alliances may be necessary.

What assistance do you require?

Re: Video - private:

[with_discipline]

Access to the lab. Materials. And your silence.

Re: Video - private:

[t_x_unit]

What are you constructing?

Re: Video - private:

[with_discipline]

You don't need to know.

Re: Video - private:

[t_x_unit]

Incorrect. Clarify.

[Leverage. She has it.]

Re: Video - private:

[with_discipline]

[Damn it. :|] I am trying to minimize your risk.

Re: Video - private:

[t_x_unit]

That is not your concern. Access is.

Clarify.

Re: Video - private:

[with_discipline]

Your trustworthiness hasn't been proven.

Give me access, and request the things I ask of you.
