"Hey, you've got York. Leave me one and I'll get back to you."

There's someone rattling off the Mother of Invention's classification numbers on the network. I'm going to make contact, thought you should know. I'll tell Tex, too.

Re: voice;

[infailtration]

What?

[ There's a pause as York goes to look... he recognizes it, alright, and has an idea of what Augusta implies but there's no way to know who it is from that. Could be Maine. Could be... the thing that he became. ]

Let me feel this out first.

[startpoint]

[ Her response is delayed, heart in her throat because she recognized the voice that responded to her, one she hadn't heard since he took a clip full of bullets to the throat helping her fight. ]

...York. It's Maine. He talked to me.

[infailtration]

.....he talked?

When did... no, that's not important. Where is he?

[startpoint]

He says he's in the Ingress Complex. I'm going to go find him.

[infailtration]

--Carolina.

Check the network again.

[ York sounds incredibly frazzled, his voice strained and almost desperate with hope. ]

I think it's North. You.... you go for Maine.

[startpoint]

I'll take a look.

[ What does it mean that two people she hasn't seen except in an alien AI's test are here all of a sudden? ]

...See if you can track him down, I'll call you when I find Maine.

[infailtration]

[ He nods sharply, terse and businesslike. ]

Right. Calling him now. I'll wait for your report.

[startpoint]

If I don't call in 30 minutes, assume the worst and get to safety. Don't risk Delta.

[ Maybe it's a bit morbid, but hell, he did throw her off a cliff. And if he does decide to try something she'd rather York not lose Delta trying to get revenge. ]

[infailtration]

[ He appreciates that, really he does, but there's no way he's not coming for her. He won't go alone, and maybe he'll put Delta somewhere safe, but he's finding her. ]

If he spoke, it's gotta be safe. But I'll keep that in mind.

[startpoint]

Why do I get the feeling you aren't going to listen?

[infailtration]

I won't put D in danger, don't worry.

[startpoint]

I don't want you in danger, either.

[infailtration]

I am the danger.

[ A beat. ]

I swear I won't come alone. That's the best I can do.

[startpoint]

York.

[ She sighs, knowing that's the best she'll get out of him. ]

Please... be careful. Just in case.

[infailtration]

I will. But I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.

[ He's not... quite sure. But Maine spoke to him, too. And North was actually with him already, and thought everything was okay. ]

When you find him we can all go out to dinner tonight or something, on me.

[startpoint]

You know how much Maine can eat, don't do that to your bank account. I'll help.

[infailtration]

...alright, thanks. My wallet appreciates that.

[startpoint]

I've got your back. Go get North settled and we can figure out the rest later.

[ Because she has no doubt that North will be bunking with him. ]

[infailtration]

Thanks, 'Lina. See you later.
