they got one of the stuff i built at home in pieces. the faster i get this done the faster i can not ask sevika to get me food. trust me it takes forever to put this together.
Why the hell are you asking me? I don't do requests that take forever.
[Shouldn't she ask whoever this Sevika person is? Or any of the dozen other nice Etrayans who would be happy to help? He isn't one of them, and he's completely useless when it comes to challenges that aren't extremely short term due to his narrow time limit, so he's a bad choice for whatever this is.]
hey, you good? i have something to give you from aurora when you're free. it's important but it can wait if the mission sucked
[ Even if he and Accelerator have talked... a little, it doesn't mean he hates talking to people out of the blue any less!! Maybe he should have gone with a 'sup?'? Would a 'sup' have been better?? ]
[The mission hadn't gone great and he'd love to just sleep for a week, but if there's something important going on with Aurora then he can motivate himself enough to get up and deal with whatever this.]
A good thing he recognises the guy. He puts a hand in his jeans pocket as he walks over, pulling out a slim card and placing it on the table when he first reaches it. ]
Hey, this is what I'm here to give you. It's, uh-- emergency access. [ ... ] To the hospital elevator.
[ He lowers his volume a notch when he shares that part, voice awkward, but nothing particularly new for Gorgug. He takes a seat opposite Accelerator, figuring he should explain more than just that. It would kinda help! ]
[He doesn't really care if he needs to wait a bit. There aren't enough people in Etraya to ever make the coffee shop busy, so it's nice to sit there in an empty cafe, drinking coffee and not having to be social.
When Gorgug arrives and puts the card on the table, he looks down at it curiously.]
So she actually restricted access to the lower floors?
[He'd recommended it, but it was ultimately Aurora's decision to make. Having been off on the mission he hadn't checked in with her about that.]
Yeah. But she helped me make these when I said that she should, uh, pick some people to help her out, if she ever needs it.
[ And so, she picked Accelerator. Gorgug doesn't know their relationship, but considering his name came up and someone called Yuri, and he remembers their names from being the people who saw her brain, he sees a reason why from there.
Neither of them have tried to fuck her up so far. ]
[If anything like Im'mari happens again a keycard is a lot better than having to break into the lower floors. He doesn't want to have to deal with that.
Picking up the card, he shifts and puts it away in his back pocket.]
[He'll keep that in mind. It's probably good that multiple people have cards, that means multiple redundancies in case one of them disappears or somehow ends up out of commission.]
Okay, I'll consider it.
[Something to think about. Or talk to Harold about.]
