[The video is fumbled on as Tyrion Lannister is staring out the front of the First Breath, abject horror touching his face.]

By the Seven ... by the fucking Seven! What is that - what is that -

[He looks at his video, fumbling with it, to point it towards the Marvisa.]

There's some sort of .... terrifyingly large gun coming out of the ship and it's - Ah.

AH SHIT!

[He slapped on the communicator, flipping the ship to the encrypted frequency.]

This is a warning! Repeat, this is a warning! You are in grave danger! You must leave immediately - I repeat! Grave danger! The giant gun is pointed Right At You and you have to get out of there NOW -

[The gun goes off with a giant flicker of light into the nothing, and Tyrion sucks in a harsh breath.]

... oh no.

[Well there is a more positive outlook, and a more reasonable one at that.]

Now here is a question for you - after all our caution, is it possible that we alerted them to our presence, and they have, in fact, been tracking us ever since?

There were a lot of people involved. Different levels of training and experience. I think it's possible.

Yes, and in all likelihood possible.

Which means we have to up our defensive game before we try our offensive one, as I have heard it parlayed.

Hard to disagree there. It would be a lot of people to corral. We all have our reasons of wanting this and probably a few who don't.

So ... we need to find better decryption software. Better jammers, the whole ball of proverbial wax. Start keeping an eye out for better equipment.

[She nods.] I'm going to be switching my augment to engineering. [Communications might be more effective for this, but she has her own reasons for engineering and they are more of a priority than this.] That should help some.

[He paused, giving his device a curious look.] Engineering? Why? [That made no sense for her - well. She was a genius. Maybe she just wanted to stretch out her experience to something different?

[Genius or no you can only go so far if Atroma technology is involved unless you have the right augment and "pilot" is not the right augment for what she wants to do.]

I want to continue Winn's work. His project. [He always had a thousand projects but the one to get them back to National City was the one that mattered most to him.]

[That he knew Winn well enough was him sucking in a breath.]

The ... device. To get us all to his world?

That's the one.

[A slow exhale, before Tyrion stated quietly.]

If you need help with this, you only need to ask.

You know everyone who was working on it just disappeared, right? Winn, Cisco, Hank? If you're good with that then I'm asking. [She's not saying it was on purpose or because of the research, but she knows Winn would think it if he was here.]

Someone has to finish what they started. Let it be two people who know how their minds work. [Is Tyrion's firm answer.]

Couldn't have said it better. We can start working before I get my new augment. Pavel too. I haven't asked, but he'll be in. Have you met?
