Name a time and place, and use your discretion for the levels of privacy your request will require.

gardens, by the citrus. not for jorgish eyes but not personal business.

I will be there shortly.

[When he arrives his bearing is as casual as Brainy gets, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze at the trees around him. He looks like someone very uptight taking a much needed walk and enjoying the plant life.]

[Nothing to see here, just someone who needs to relax enjoying the gardens.]

[When he sees her, he looks around with discreet and subtle movement of his head to make sure no one is around, then looks at her with a tilt of his head.]

What do you require?

[Saturday is already there, peeling an orange. She pops one slice in her mouth and offers another to Brainy]

So. I've been putting together a plan for a run on the upper decks. It's pretty loosey-goosey at the moment, but the intent is basically to stage a big distraction while a smaller team infiltrates, tries to get a sense of the security, maybe snag a few credentials, figure out where the good stuff is. Pretty much just recon. Your name came up as a smart guy, and since my smart person didn't make it here with me, I wanted your thoughts.

[He's watched her on the comms, has seen how engaged she is, has seen how much she's started investigating, pushing at the boundaries of their captivity.]

[At this point, the only person he truly trusts is Robbie. But it's time to start reaching out and helping others in their more direct efforts to rebel. His work on the comms is not enough.]

There are several layers of security you would have to overcome but it's within the realm of possibility.

And while I've been restricted from accessing technology and tools through an abundance of Jorgmund's caution, I was successful at manipulating the actual machinery of the rig itself during my first attempt at escape, to create an explosion as a diversion.

If we can scavenge the right tools I may potentially be able to replicate my past efforts or manipulate the rig's mechanical systems in other ways you might find useful.

You think we have a chance, then. [A subtle tension runs out of her shoulders.] Good.

I was planning to get in through the walls. There's a lot more void space here than anyone realizes; been crawling around, looking for a way in. Haven't found one yet. If you can work the entry and exit our odds just improved.

[Her shrug is sheepish.] I was gonna handle overwatch if no one else showed up, but that might also be something you're better for.

You want me to run tactical and logistical support?

[His tactical role with any current Legion Leader was more often advisement than running an op but he'd still led the occasional mission team, especially when he and several other Legionnaires were marooned for a time in the Second Galaxy. He could easily offer support from off the field to whoever was leading in the field.]

I do have some experience. And I can relay what I've learned about the rig's systems to any member of your team.

[Since the person wrecking shit on the rig probably shouldn't also be their team support, due to the risk of getting caught. Anything he knows he can relay to someone that goes on the mission.]

I would be amenable.

All right, then. Can I ask you to work up some scenarios for me? I was told you're good at that, probabilities, assessment, that kinda thing. I'm more into improv, but in my own world I like - know what's likely, what's improbable, and what means I should just go the fuck home and retire, you know? Here, I dunno how good my instinct are.

Affirmative. I can provide you such tactical info. Risk assessment and predictions of both negative outcomes and potential ways to thwart them if the combat situation risks reaching a negative outcome are things I provide the leader of my team back home.

[He cares about that here just like he did back home.]

[People getting home safe.]

I can also provide you remote tactical support during the mission itself, through a secure link on our comms. Programming isn't my specialty but I'm competent enough at it. I've prodded at this Lonestar's programming enough to feel it's secure.

[By prodding at he means "created it."]

That said, it is fairly advanced. Whoever created it does seem to have slightly more skill than myself.

[Saturday doesn't bat an eye at this bald-faced lie. She has her suspicions, but they're only relevant if she needs to get in touch with 'Lonestar.' The friend-of routine will do, if it comes to that]

That's what I need - it was never my thing, back home. And having someone else on overwatch frees me up to troubleshoot. It's a good idea.

[She stretches] Just gotta set the date, now.

[Plausible deniability about Lonestar is all he asks for.]

When you do, I'll be there.

I have...a time-sensitive justification for wanting to escape this place as soon as possible.

You're not the only one. I got pulled right before the endgame, back home - the fight we're headed towards is a lose-and-the-world-ends kinda deal.

Hook me up with those tactical assessments soon as you can, okay?

[He nods, clasping his hands behind his back.]

I'll get to work right away.

[As in like...now.]

Until then, take care.

You too, chummer. Stay cool. [She nods, and departs.]
