[The PDA turns off with a puff of static--someone blowing straight into the microphone?--and then there is a moment of silence. Some rummaging sounds, mostly metal chinking on metal, and then a guitar and set of drums start playing a familiar tune. Then the lyrics start, softly at first and then gradually getting louder until it's a good jamming

[relief]

Please tell me that's the sound of you being alive.

Named after the star, which is named after someone you might know.

Oooo, that's the sweetest compliment I've ever been given. Kinda nice. Well, I'll appreciate it but just don't go out of your way, m'kay?

[poppingseeds]

No, I got it. It's just odd still hearing our names used like that. There's even one of your planets named after me in the future.

[small laugh] Right, of course.

You mean the moon? Jupiter's moon, to be precise. [sheepish:] Sorry, I was just saying it for the both of us really.

...

There's a moon named after me too?

Kore, the Roman version of your name, yes.

[poppingseeds]

You know, of all the other names I've heard for me, I actually rather like that one.

[Screened || Unhackable]

[yeah_i_can_fly]

It means "the young maiden," or something like that. It goes hand in hand with your mother.

...Does that mean I can start calling you "Kori" and not get in trouble?

[Screened || Unhackable]

[poppingseeds]

[snort of laughter] Perhaps. I could always use it as a codename. Most of you have them -- it's starting to make me feel left out.

[yeah_i_can_fly]

Awww... well, "The Maiden" it is, my little Kore! [not so muffled snickering]

[poppingseeds]

[snickering] I could have always gone with Iron Queen, but what with you being Iron Man and all...

[Screened || Unhackable]

[yeah_i_can_fly]

Hahahaha. Yes, well. If you wanted to go with that one I suppose you could always call me your personal bodyguard, your very own Iron Knight.

You're the second person to offer me that~ Dare I say it, I feel rather special.

[Screened || Unhackable]

[yeah_i_can_fly]

[chuckling] Well, maybe you're meant to be.

[Screened || Unhackable]

[poppingseeds]

I'm a goddess. Of course I'm special.

[Screened || Unhackable]

[yeah_i_can_fly]

Pardon me. Let me rephrase: maybe you should always feel special, because you are of course.
