[Public]

[Felix's video is on, but he's not actually very visible; just the edge of his shoulder at the corner of the screen, moving as he does... something with his communicator. It's stationary on the table in his room, but it jostles very slightly every few seconds as he fiddles with it. Most of the view is of his extremely generic-looking if surprisingly rumpled bed.]

I'm sure I'm just repeating some of the chatter that's already gone out over the warden filter, but... has anyone else noticed that our communicators are starting to pick up radio waves? Has anyone gotten a signal? [He pauses, with another slight twitch of the screen.] And I don't suppose anyone has a spare I could borrow?

[Whatever he's doing, he's too absorbed to switch filters, and this isn't secret enough to make private, so he just continues from there:] Narvin, I'm going to try this out in the CES. I might be able to club together a rudimentary DRADIS, maybe even a motion detector... [He pulls back a little bit now, just enough to get one eye on the screen. He's not smiling any more than usual, but he looks oddly excited.] Dean? I'll see you up there at the usual time. Uh, bring the Colt.

[It's a while before he makes it to the pub. He really does go to work for a bit, but mostly that's because he needs the time to pull himself together. He's feeling manic and angry at the same time, disjointed, at loose ends with himself in a way he hasn't been in a long time. In the end, he pays a visit to Dean to settle himself and has a cigarette on the deck first, and then makes his way to the pub, knocking on the door.]

I always bring the Colt.

[This teasingly, but he remembers another conversation that started out very similar to this, and cranes his neck in much the same way as if he can peer over the edge of Felix's screen at what he's doing.]

You actually gettin' anything besides junk this time? [Radio waves gets his attention; he's not at the level Felix is, he's no engineer, but he did cobble together a homemade EMF meter out of the remains of a walkman, among other things. Radio waves he understands well enough.]

I haven't received a signal yet, no. I'll be certain to let you know if that changes.

[ She's pretty drunk by this point, but not so much that she loses her wits. Just enough that she's looser, more relaxed, and even less willing to curb her tongue. Whether this is for good or evil remains to be seen.

She hops up and gets the door open - it's really convenient that her warden item is her dogtags, because she'll never take those off - and steps aside to let him in. ]

Hey, Lieutenant. Felix. [ oh gods what does he want to be called now. ]

There's been no discussion about radio waves that I've seen. You may be the first person to have noticed.

Perhaps you can convince someone to let you borrow the communicator of someone who is currently in a coma. They obviously won't be needing it for a while.

I'd be interested in the results of your CES experiments.

I've been trying to trace them, but no luck so far.
