[Felix is sitting for this one, his lower body hidden, but the sharp-eyed might notice that his crutch is nowhere in sight. His uniform is also gone for good (for now). He's at the long metal table in his barracks, and the surface is absolutely covered with wires, cables, microchips... It looks like he's dismantled an entire fleet's worth of communicators.

He seems a little annoyed about it.]

Does anyone have a spare computer they could lend me? Or even just a motherboard and a serial port connector cable.

[Private to Dr. McCoy]

I think I'm starting to get the hang of it now, Doc. I... thank you, really. It's a big improvement.

[Private to Sarah Connor]

You said you're Gaius's Warden, didn't you? We should talk sometime.

No problem. Let me know if it gives you any problems. [God knows what kind of damage a port could do to it. :|]

I'm still getting used to the weight, but otherwise, no. It seems fine.

And it's nice to actually get some use out of the frakking knee again. [He's still got his own, but the old prosthetic was so bulky that it was impossible to bend. Now, he rubs his knee and swings his leg experimentally, smiling a little.]

I can imagine. No offense, but that old prosthetic was kind of absurd.

What for?

I've been trying to work out how these communicators function, but the Admiral doesn't seem to like that idea. [He nods to the table full of innards.] That? That's all from mine.

Commander Tucker and Captain Kirk took apart one in October and found nothing useful. What are you hoping a computer would do to assist you?

I do, but I'll need to know what you plan to use it for.

[And Narvin would probably put a bug in it to make sure that Felix doesn't do anything nefarious with it.]

I'm trying to analyze the communicators. It's not complex -- or it shouldn't be, anyway. I just don't have the equipment.

I'm willing to loan you the equipment, but I can tell you now that the communicators are quite unhackable. The base code is utter nonsense.

Be cautious. We once opened a panel on the ship and found packing material rather than wiring. If there are proper components inside, they're likely there for the aesthetic more than to provide function.

So I'm coming to understand. [And he's starting to sound pretty damn sour about it.]

There's not much you can accomplish with the system here anyway. The rooms change frequently with the coming and going of residents. I wouldn't be surprised if each single journal is produced according to our individual expectations.

[Wistfully, because doesn't everyone do that? Barge rite of passage.] One time I opened those things I found bubbles.

Bubbles. [Have all the lineface, Rassilon.]

[Omega sighs and gives a shrug.] It's illogical, I suppose to assume that the laws of reality are fixed, given what we go through a fortnightly basis.

LOL OR I COULD GET HIS NAME RIGHT, I'm sorry

Omega's right. I found cereal in there, once.

I guess I should be grateful mine at least has wiring, then.

Probably. I don't know if these things even operate on a conventional battery system.

No, but wow. That is impressive. Glad you saved me the trouble.

[Dean does look and sound impressed; he's no engineer, military or otherwise, but he has done his fair share of electronic tinkering and some of it has even been successful. He hadn't thought to take apart the communicator yet, though, and he's moving his head around the video screen like it's a window, like a change in angle will give him a different view of Felix's work table.

You spoke to him, Felix. Now he's yours forever. Congratulations, you're infested.]

[Luckily, Dean and his weird head bobs are just the thing to cheer a very irritated Felix up, even if the smile he gives him is very confused.]

It'd be more impressive if it had actually worked... Are you looking for something, Dean?

[He looks slightly surprised, but if there's a reason, he doesn't let on. He definitely regrets lying to her now, though -- or at least implying that he doesn't know Gaius as well as he does. It's going to make this more difficult, and... well, who knew it could actually be valuable to admit to a connection with that man?]

Did Gaius tell you about me? I... may have been underplaying things when I said we were only from the same universe. A lot, actually. I'm sorry, but I didn't know if I could trust you.

[At least he doesn't have to lie any more; at least not for now. This is all completely accurate, and delivered with absolute sincerity.]
