Day 291 [Action:Closed] [Action:Open] [Video:Private]
[Action | Closed Reid]
[She wakes up on the floating island with the blaring and vibrating of the giant speakers below her. She can't really process the message, and as it turns out that doesn't really matter to her at the moment because everything that happened yesterday is taking on a whole new context. She threatened Reid. She threatened Reid. He looked so hurt. So did Nathan. She reaches up to call him only to remember she left her communicator by the bed. She'll just have to get there herself then. Without another moment's delay she phases, dropping right through the island and getting herself to the apartment as fast as she can.]

Reid! Nathan!? [Calling out their names as soon as she drops in through the ceiling of the kitchen as it turns out.]

[Action | Open (After the breakup)]
[Nathan is still in the hospital. Reid is...wherever he went. The apartment is all hers at the moment and she has no intention of going back there until she's too exhausted to be awake long for it. She's not sure if she wants to avoid people or be with them, so for now she's just walking without paying much attention to where that takes her.]

[Video | Private to Data]
Data? You there?

	[ Honestly, it's never all that long before the android responds to a summons. So, just short of immediately, there he is. ] Yes, I am. [ And. with an inquisitively concerned arch of a brow and a slight tilt of his head - ] Are you all right? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Am I all right? [She laughs under her breath, but it's not a happy kind of laugh.] I don't know. Do you want the polite answer or the truth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He hesitates there, for only half of a moment. He had anticipated that there may be something awry when he received the private communique, but this response was unexpected. ] I would not attempt to force you to share anything which you would prefer not to, but - if your 'polite answer' would be for my sake, I can assure you that it is not necessary.

I'm not bleeding or anything, so that's a step up from the time I was stabbed. [She wishes she was just stabbed now.] Things are going sideways on me. I think I need some time to work on that. I'm not out if something big comes up, but if you could run some of my day-to-day at the force that would be great. I realize you probably had to pick up some slack already from yesterday.

	Physically speaking, I would believe that to be preferable, thought that is not the sole metric of one's overall wellbeing. [ But he offers a gentle smile - not happy, but reassuring. ] Fortunately, I am both happy and designed to pick up slack. If you require time to attend to personal issues, then please take it.

	Thanks. [She doesn't manage a return smile, but she is grateful.] For the record, since it might come up, Reid broke up with me and Nathan stabbed Veronica and then tried to kill himself. [It's been a day.] Nathan has agreed to wear a barrier collar from the wardens that will hopefully stop him from being able to hurt anyone in the future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ The sheer number of things that she lists off that swiftly is enough to give him pause, blinking as he processes it. ]

Though the statement would seem to be severely insufficient, I am sorry.

[ There are notes made here, internally, some of the details amending the morning's crime announcements. But with things apparently stabilized for the time being, he focuses on the personal aspect. ]

Please, do not worry about asking too much of me, nor about the force; I am accustomed to assisting in the oversight of a far larger crew, and I do not doubt that the team will continue to function for whatever duration of time you need for yourself. And, should you wish to speak to a friend, I am here. Presently, or at any future point you may require.

[She nods at the apology, quietly accepting it.]

Thanks. I figured you could and like I said if something big comes up, I'm in. [So in. She'd love something to really distract her, not that she's wishing a crisis on anyone...but she's kind of wishing a crisis on them.] But outside of that, a little time might be good. [Pausing.] Or terrible. Guess we'll see. [She can't really imagine feeling good right now as if it's some very foreign concept.]

I'm glad you're here. [For the team, for her, for any of it.] How did yesterday go? [Not so ready to get into the details of her and Reid. She's already done that with Spike and Ianto and it was good talking to them, but it doesn't take away the hurt and at this point she's just tired of going over it.]

[ He simply nods to her response; naturally, if it's terrible, he'll relinquish any duties to her that she wishes to take over, but he thinks that perhaps it would be helpful to her if he pursued the other route of conversation presented more actively than that one. ]

I was affected by the 'glitch', as well, though my own chronological point was advanced in time. It appears that, as an effect of the glitch, my memory files for the day have been corrupted, leaving me with only partial recollection.

[ There is a slight pause, and he tilts his head. ]

I do, however, recall that there were a number of other members of the force who were unable to patrol or perform other duties, and that the remainder of the team who were capable contributed admirably to compensate for it.

	Glad to hear it. I heard Jack was in the same sort of boat I was. Probably more with flirting than threatening, but I'm glad you [pausing] and Reid were watching over things with the others. Remember anything good about the future? [She wouldn't mind some good news, but she'd take bad if he had something to talk about.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He does remember things about the future - a few things, glimpses through the corruption, and not all of it is good. ] It seems that I will succeed in saving my ship from destruction despite what are by far the most dire odds it with which it has been faced. [ That's good news, really. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ The details, which did stick with him, are not mentioned at this point. He doesn't feel the need to add that kind of doom to the conversation at this point - there's nothing to be gained from it, since that's always the choice he'll make. ] Thank you, though... it was not my intention to boast. It was merely the best news of which I had gained knowledge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ There's a small, tight smile there. It's still not easy knowing his fate, even if it's now years away rather than moments, but he doesn't by any means challenge the choice he will apparently make. And, at the moment, he's more than happy to highlight the positive for Kitty's sake. ] Then I am pleased that I was able to provide some good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ His expression evens out and he hesitates, for the barest fraction of a moment, before nodding. ] I gained several years worth of knowledge, some of which I retain.

No, you are not.

[ It's true, really - his concern is for her at the moment. He recalls the previous day with almost the same clarity he would any other, and by the end of the day he had spoken through things with Deanna. But, of course, it is still very much heavy shit.

On the other hand, this will surely come out eventually, and if she truly wants to know... ]

I have become aware of the circumstances which will lead to my own demise.

	Oh. [Softly.] I guess this means I should teach you the secret handshake for the club then. [She's befriended quite a few not-long-for-this-world people in her time here. It's always something of a bond, but that isn't much of a consolation prize.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ There is a soft, gentle smile there. ] While that is not a membership I had particularly aspired to, and I cannot deny it is a great deal to process... I do recall that I did not regret the actions which will apparently grant it to me. Time cannot be infinite, even for an android. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's something. A lot even. [She can't say the same about her own death.] But for what it's worth, I think you're someone who could have used a little more infinite. [You're a good guy, ~~Charlie Brown~~ Data.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It is. [ He knows that it is; he's seen too many senseless deaths, since he first became truly aware of what that meant with Tasha's demise. ]

[ And then, a softer, appreciative smile. ] That is exceptionally kind. Thank you.

[ He hesitates, only a moment, in consideration. ]

Though, there is the fact that I am here now - perhaps, in a sense, the time which I spend here could be considered "a little more infinite."
