    BREAKING NEWS:

    Govotte is evil.

      Gavotte’s not evil. She could have done this any day if so inclined. The enemy strikes while Gavotte is handicapped.

        oh no, this is quite Machiavellian. she waited until she was impaired so that her team couldn’t/wouldn’t turn to her for help when she was testing them. this is a brilliant way of assessing their actual abilities.

    It occurs to me that letting Sweetheart perform her task first, or even helping her with finishing it swiftly, would make the most logical sense; once digitized the files can be used by multiple groups simultaneously.

    My god, it’s a TEAMWORK EXERCISE!

      And as such is doomed to horrible, calamitous failure.

      Also, I should point out that if Tip is incapacitated via sonic weapon there will be no way left to disarm his booby traps. Leaving everyone staring helplessly at the pile of notes behind the wall of snares.

      Very poignient. A single, forlorn leaf drifts by. It was underground for some reason. Why? Who can say?

    (TUNE: “We Need A Little Christmas”, Jerry Herman)

    Tip’s in the stairwell,
    So now our Sweetheart takes the … files that she will scan!
    Chris doesn’t swear well,
    But thanks to Unity, he … has an evil plan, here …

    He can
     Kill her at a distance
     With a noisy CD!
     ’Cause of her insistence …
     (Chris just calls it greedy)
     With cacophonous assistance,
     Death will be quite speedy!
      And when he makes the puppy die,
      He’ll take the files to D. of I. …

    So Sweetheart has fun now,
    Because on Chris’s wishes … she is steppin’, right!
    Unity’s done now,
    Puts a recording of a … noisy weapon right here …

    Chris can
     Kill her at a distance!
     Weapon nasty-sounding
     Breaks through her resistance,
     Makes her head start pounding!
     It’s because of her persistence,
     Conflict is compounding!
     It’s gonna be a war, I fear …
     He’ll kill her at a distance here!

    “Fetch” me the file… ?… really? sounds like a trans-species slur!

      Yeah, but it’s certainly reasonable that they’re good enough friends that they both know there’s no malice intended by it and take minor insults as a sign of their mutual respect. Or it was a slip and Sweetheart is under too much stress to care right now.

      I don’t think sweetheart took offense, but he is discriminating against Promethean Americans with that pile of corpse parts remark.

        dude, she’s a woman whose body happens to be composed of corpse parts. that was amazingly bioist, and you should know this crap already if you’re going to be in this working environment. this Department of irradiation dude is bucking for some serious sensitivity training.

          My thought was ” He really knows how to make a girl feel special.”

            imagine if he said “I’d kiss you, but your black” because that’s basically what’s happening here. But yeah mickeyf that’s no way to talk to someone.

            (actually a reply to Ian, but the nesting ran out) Black people don’t taste like rotting flesh. Dead people do.

        (actually a reply to BrokenEye, the True False Prophet but the nesting ran out ) you calling u.n.i.t.y moldy? we’ve seen how quickly she goes through parts, my Kandy Kluge is fresh as a daisy, or at least a recently opened can of spam. if anything her lips would taste faintly of charcoal from those nanobots .

          also, no one read into me imagining what her lips taste like. you will be correct and you will also be weirded out.

          I don’t care that you have Perverse Sexual Lust over Unity (heck, I get character crushes all the time), but it bugs me that you use possessive language. As of March 2015 or whenever you happen to read this, would you please stop? (Not that I have any right or ability to make you stop, I’m just asking.)

    Chris, Sweetheart is altering your deal. Pray she doesn’t alter it any further…

    Actually though, think about it. She’s already scanned half. That’s the half D of I can use

      They only need the silverfish files. I assume Sweetheart hasn’t scanned those yet, or there would be no need for conflict.
      …then again…

    “If you weren’t a pile of corpse parts, I’d kiss you.” Like he could do better than Unity…

      as if he could do as good as u.n.i.t.y.

      It certainly didn’t stop Tip from trying.

      You forget: Chris is currently commited to a stable relationship.

    Never mind the supersedure, perhaps Gavotte’s been on holiday back home in the UK…

    When Gavotte comes to, she’s going to find nothing but rubble and scattered pieces of paper where the Annex used to be, isn’t she?
