Bring a bottle to my room, you know where it is ...
(which, honestly, is a bit personal — but she's injured and what the medics couldn't comfort, she's been left to deal with. walking is a bit of a chore when she's dirty, laden with mental burden, and sporting a bum leg that'd been covered in cooling plasma.)
We infiltrated their base while Alpha made noise outside. All for a cube and it's such an insignificant thing ... No one knows what it is or what it does, but it was heavily protected by an encrypted terminal and several patrols .
I got to it, deactivated it, and nothing went wrong until we were outside trying to hump it back to the ship. I didn't know it was protecting the entire area, I misunderstood what the damn code was saying to me
(she's the best. the best. how did this happen?
it reminds her too much of the past.)
Then the holocaust started ... The others stayed back to evac some of the Trilks and Feks
[To her room. If anything's telling, that is. She's never invited him back to her private quarters before this--and maybe he could chalk it up to the fact that they're far from the talon headquarters...
Or it was a hint to how the hacker might be feeling after fucking up as bad as she has appeared to. Referring to the event as 'the Holocaust'... He has to keep himself from getting frustrated. He should have gone with them. And instead, he's been back here, with the fleet. Playing nice with a bunch of non-combatants and sarcastic kids.]
I'll meet you there in fifteen minutes. Do you still have the cube?
[He's not the most technologically inclined, but he'd still like to look at the item that was at fault for a domino effect that would cause two species to face extinction.]
Never struck me as someone who would ever tell me she 'misunderstood' code. [It's suspicious, basically. If Earth's best hacker could be confused... was it a set-up?]

'A present'.[Honestly, he doesn't know what to think of that, either. Especially if it was 'the opposite'.]
I'd be wary of it if I were you. Don't trust shit like that far as I can throw it.
If you're back, meet up with me somewhere. I might even feel nice enough to get you that drink.
Tell me what happened.

(to both the question and the statement.
and when reaper reaches the number of the room she sends him, the door's open. another clue as to what state she's in.)
