Re-Entry 14: Spam/Video/Spam

[Spam for the Lab]

[It's not unusual for Felix to stay in the lab all night if the wardens let him. He insists that he doesn't need much sleep -- so far, this has actually seemed to prove true -- and he tends to get on tears with things that interest him enough. This particular evening, something on Iris's bioreader has him absorbed, and he just doesn't make it back before it's too late to be worth going anyway. In the wee hours of the morning, he winds up drifting off at his station.

He doesn't wake up when the flood rolls in, but a little while later, a young boy -- 11 or so -- wakes to find himself, not in bed, but surrounded by a veritable sea of shining scientific equipment. His eyes widen.]


Cool!

[Video]

[He found two keys in his pocket and he's not sure which is the right one, but going to this one felt more normal, somehow, so it's Dean's room in the background. Felix settles the camera carefully on the desk, fiddles with it for a second, then settles, sitting conscientiously straight-backed.]

Okay, um... [He hesitates, reaches over to fiddle with the camera again, then nods in satisfaction and sits back again. He smiles, but sort of politely.] Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad. I'm having a good time at camp. [Or... whatever.] I'll be back in a few days. I saw a bioluminescent bacterium and something called a bat flower. [What? It was cool.]

So... have a good weekend, I guess. [His polite surety fades a little. He shrugs awkwardly, then waves again and switches off the feed.]

[Open spam throughout the flood]

[He's heard that this place is a prison, but it's certainly not like any prison he's ever heard of. Not like the ones in the movies, anyway. He'll be busily exploring throughout the flood, poking his nose into just about any place that will let him in, up to and including the infirmary, the CES, the pool... and of course the library.]

[She looks at him like maybe he's a little dim.]

Because I'm curious.

Maybe it's just not the kind you expect.

Do you have to do something wrong to be locked up?

Then maybe that's fitting.

I didn't know that.

Isn't it just that someone important has to want you there?

Then people can be put in here when they aren't good enough.

I'm curious about everything. I'm curious about this because you like it. If someone likes something, that means either I'll look at it and like it too or look at it and realize they're an idiot.

[She takes it, flips through it, dumps it on the table impatiently.]

But that's not what you were looking at. Not just now.

No, it proves that you like some things that are complicated. What you're doing now proves you're a coward. You're hiding what you're really doing! Which means either you think you can fool me or distract me, which you can't, or you assume you know how I define 'idiot', which you don't. Give it up.

[While Trip doesn't spend much time in the lab, it definitely offers more room to mess around with things like his comm, and - although this is definitely not necessarily 100% why he heads into the lab at this particular time on this particular day - it's a good place to check up on Felix when something like a flood hits.

So he is definitely not surprised when he sees the kid there, although he's left wondering what the hell he's supposed to say to explain what he's doing here. Any explanation he can come up with for the time being sounds pretty insane, or terrifying, and sometimes both.

Probably a good thing that there are shiny things to distract him for the time being.]


Felix?
