[There's the usual static hum on everyone's PCD, as the screen goes black. After a moment, a low flute tone starts up, continuing as a background melody throughout. For anyone who hears it, it would sound vaguely familiar, from their home world- though played inexpertly, as if they couldn't entirely remember how it was supposed to go.]
too soon, too early
calm down, take a breath we're still setting up
we'll take it apart
you always do
too soon, too early
not quickly enough
we'll take it apart
you always do
we can carry it ourselves
is it really necessary
finally, that's better
wait what's going on
no subject
well it is very crowded
no subject
Why now? I'm already looking for the scientists for you. I thought you wanted me, or us, to bring them back to you. We can't do that if you're not in one place.
no subject
we'll handle the rest
no subject
...
And I have another question, please.
no subject
have as many questions as you want
there might be answers somewhere
no subject
...
What will happen if we bring the scientists to you?
no subject
no subject
no subject
before they finish breaking it
no subject
[There's a very long pause as Fran considers his next question-]
What are the things that they are breaking?
no subject
the world
it's shameful
no subject
They're the ones keeping this world the way it is, then? It's their fault, not yours?
no subject
they wanted to hold it in place
no subject
[Not that he's any better, of course, but this is giving him even more motivation to go find them.]
...
Are they the ones at fault for bringing us back to life, since you said that you didn't want to?
no subject
but we have to
or else you'd be stuck with us
and it's crowded enough
no subject
[His eyes widen for just a bit, before he tries to manage to put on an expression that's as apathetic as possible.]
If you didn't bring us back to life, then we would become a part of you?
no subject
your parts are inferior
why should we have to store all of them
no subject
Do we become you if were weren't brought back to life- that's what I was asking.
no subject
we don't want to keep any more than necessary
no subject
"More".
There are people with you up there already.
[This is the first time he's felt a feeling of horror about being right.]
no subject
but it's better than the alternative
no subject
...
If we find the scientists, you'll fix this. People will die and stay dead, but not become a part of you. Is this correct?
I'm going to regret asking this but-
...
What is the alternative?
no subject
the alternative to not finding them?
this
no subject
I will find the scientists.
[Simply and bluntly, as if he's taking an order straight from his Boss. This may as well be.]
no subject
we'll do what we can
but it takes time
it's taken this long to get this far
keep eyes out for our messengers
