maybe i can use my x-ray vision to see if i can find anything, too.

[levelshift]

Good idea. If Castor's still in one piece, you're going to want to look for places that have beefed up bot security and aren't easily accessible.

[Not that he likes sharing information about Aurora, but it could be useful here and he trusts Jon.]

Don't fucking yap to people about this, but Aurora's brain is deep, deep below the hospital. I'd expect Castor to have a setup like that, too.

[solarson]

( hm! )

i guess it would be a little predictable to be in a hospital as well but just in case if there's any there, i'll take a look.

[levelshift]

Eos and Borealis both had their bases in hospitals, so it's a logical place to start.

[solarson]

i'll check there first then. you think it's a good idea to come up with a signal in case comms end up down so we can identify or contact each other?

[levelshift]

Don't worry about that. I can use my esper ability as a back-up for communications and surveillance.

[solarson]

ok if you're sure.

[levelshift]

Yeah. You'll need to be outside, though. It isn't perfect, but it'll function for the short term.

[solarson]

is there anyone else you trust with this? like if we find a way to use this keycard and do something about this problem.

[levelshift]

A guy named Harold Finch. He was the person I asked to help out with Aurora before we knew her limits were bigger than just her AI programming. He wouldn't tell anyone if we asked him to keep it to himself.

[solarson]

you think we should?

[levelshift]

I don't think it could hurt, but it's your keycard, so it's up to you.

[Which probably isn't the most helpful for a little kid making a big decision. He thinks on this for a moment, then sends another message.]

I have a keycard, too. Way back when people were first getting pulled here, the elevator down to Aurora's brain wasn't locked. Anyone could go down there, and as long as they could contend with the robot security, lack of air and heat they could reach her brain. That may be how Im'mari ended up infecting her.

After a few of us went down there and cut that damn thing out of her, someone else suggested she lock the elevator. I think I'm the only one still around with a keycard, and I haven't told anyone until now. I don't want to another fucking Im'mari repeat.

[solarson]

what do you mean by lack of air? the room itself had no oxygen in it?

[levelshift]

Yup. People aren't meant to go down there, so we had to bring our own air to breathe.

[solarson]

breathing in space isn't too much trouble for a kryptonian. 🙂

[levelshift]

Why? Can you hold your breath for a long time?

[solarson]

try days or weeks! well my dad can.

[levelshift]

[What the hell.]

I have a lot of fucking questions about how that works, biologically-speaking.

[solarson]

it comes with being kryptonian. :)

( does he want to go into the how? not that he thinks accelerator would use it against him or anything but. well. )

[levelshift]

[He's thinking this might be better posed to Clark. He's the adult, he's a better judge of whether or not this is private medical information.]

Well, that might come in handy.

[solarson]

heck yeah :) does this mean we're a team with this?

[levelshift]

Yes, it does.

[solarson]

alright! 🤜

[levelshift]

[He's rolling his eyes. There is no way he's returning that fistbump emoji, he's too edgy for it.]

Don't overthink it.

[solarson]

heh who says i am? :)
