Just in that, I know how to use it? But I don't really know how to explain it.

[beathach]

Ah, one of those things. Don't worry about it, then - I'll probably come across it in my other research.

[takingkarabusiness]

Ask Winn about it.

[beathach]

[teasing] Is Winn qualified?

[takingkarabusiness]

He is definitely qualified. It's actually his job? IT, which stands for "Information Technology" I think? But mostly he fixes computer problems.

[beathach]

I'd say that's more than qualified. I'll ask him, then.

[takingkarabusiness]

He'll probably appreciate having something to talk about.

[beathach]

I hope he doesn't mind a lot of questions.

[takingkarabusiness]

He loves them, in fact. He likes feeling like an expert, and between you and me, it'd probably help him out here. He doesn't have anything to hack.

[beathach]

[both eyebrows go up]

What does he normally hack?

[takingkarabusiness]

From what I know? Places to help me out. Security systems and things like that. I don't know what he does on his off time.

He seems like the sort of guy who would ship glitter to his enemies, though.

[beathach]

You can - ship glitter to your enemies?

[wait, no, that's not the important question. He shakes his head faintly]

I could ask him about that. I've, uh - I hacked a security system once. And I doubt that sort of - knowledge will be in the books at the library.

[takingkarabusiness]

Among other things.

Why'd you hack a security system?

[beathach]

To break someone out of prison.

[he kind of makes a face, rubbing at the back of his neck] But it wasn't an actual prison. It . . . er. It was the Pentagon.

[takingkarabusiness]

You hacked... the Pentagon.

[beathach]

Just - their security cameras and sprinkler system. And - from my understanding it's nothing like the hacking Winn is capable of. All I did was - interrupt one signal and cause another.

[takingkarabusiness]

It still counts. That's pretty bold.

[beathach]

Desperate times.

[takingkarabusiness]

Did it work out?

[beathach]

[he huffs out a bemused sound]

Somehow. It was sort of a - last minute plan without a lot of room for improvising, but they managed.

[takingkarabusiness]

I think that speaks to your skill.

And maybe a little luck.

[beathach]

[he shakes his head, quirking a grin]

I just interrupted signals. I wasn't actually down there for the prison break part. If anyone deserves the credit, it's Peter. Without him, the plan wouldn't have worked at all.

[takingkarabusiness]

Peter?

[beathach]

Another mutant. He's . . fast. Really, really fast.

[takingkarabusiness]

Really? Sounds like a great guy to have on your team.
