08 [Video, Public]

[Another accidental broadcast. This time, the screen, broadcasting live from Jesse's hoodie pocket, is showing a waist-high view of a sand-filled hallway and occasionally a bit of a tattooed hand, clutching a lit cigarette, repetitively flicking the ash into the sand. The image bounces along for a minute as he walks ( Read more... )

Is everything all right, Mr. Pinkman?

[No. :(]

Did you hear what I said, boss? I just saw its face.

[Narvin goes from professional concern to tetchy at the speed of light. Jesse is obviously not in immediate danger.]

Of course I heard you. The entire Barge heard you. Half the fifth level received the privilege of hearing you live and in person.

Did you get a close look at it, or just a glimpse?

[Well, shit.] Jesus, I was freaked out, okay? I thought he-- it-- I thought he was gonna kill me.

And yeah, I'd say I got a pretty good look.

Of course. [Narvin says dryly. It doesn't occur to him that calling someone out on their cowardice makes him a giant hypocrite. He's hypocritical so often it doesn't register any more.]

Interesting. They've never had faces before.

[Narvin replays Jesse's accidental post. Still on the network, so Jesse can hear his own voice played back to him. And then Narvin replays just the end, where the apparition is briefly visible.]

Hmmm. The image of a specific face might have been psychically projected, but it's certainly not on the entity itself.

What... what the hell does that mean?

[But Jesse's blood is running cold, because he's pretty sure he does know what it means. Now that he gets a look at it on the video...] ...That's-- all, like, blurry, man. I can't see shit.

It means that they could have pulled the image from your memories and planted it in your mind, so you saw what they wanted you to see. [Narvin's paranoia is on full force.]

I'm not human. My eyes and the parts of my mind that process optical information aren't exactly like yours.

yeahscience October 18 2011, 02:37:56 UTC

[It's weird, but Jesse's equally paranoid brain would rather jump on this possibility than admit to what's probably the truth -- even though what Narvin's proposing is infinitely more horrifying.]

Oh, shit-- shit-- [He covers his mouth with his hands.] That dick Crane, he said that might happen. What'd he-- leeching, he called it. He said they might be leeching stuff from us.
