[ Hey what's up Omega, York is in the house. The last week and a half has been a bit of a rough adjustment, but hey, it's still better than living under the tyrannical reign of an unstable AI. Besides, York is good at adapting. She's pretty sure she would've gone crazy by now if she weren't. ]

Good morning, Omega. How's life treatin' all of you poor suckers? Hopefully you're, y'know, not dead by now.

[ She's relaxed, flippant as always, but seriously. Somebody has to have died by now. ]

For those of you I haven't met, you can call me York. I'm sure you've all shacked up someplace by now -- and if you haven't, I'd get on that, 'cause I hear the streets aren't the coziest place to hole up for the night. Anyway, in case you haven't noticed by now, this isn't exactly the friendliest place. Lockin' your doors at night might not be enough to keep you and all your stuff safe. Dunno if you noticed, but the basic security on these places is a little flimsy.

But hey, security is kinda what I do. And if you're lookin' to sleep a little easier at night, I can probably help you out. Y'know, beef up your security a little, set up a system that any enterprising fifteen-year-old with an omni-tool can't break. Can't exactly do it for free, but if you're a little short on credits, I'm sure we can work somethin' out.

[articletwelve]

Hey, it's not like I want to do this the whole time I'm here either.

[neverknocks]

So go do somethin' else! C'mon, you've got...marketable skills.

[articletwelve]

Oh, this is gonna be good.

[ JUST. WAITS. ]

[neverknocks]

I was being generous.

[articletwelve]

Uh huh. No, I want to hear this. What would you call marketable skills, huh?

[neverknocks]

You get a good headshot, I guess. That's about all I got off the top of my head. Like I said, I was tryin' to be nice.

[ sorry wash didn't anyone tell you it's galactic Make Fun of Wash Day ]

[articletwelve]

[ but he thought that was every day :( siiiiiiiigh. ]

Gee, thanks.

[neverknocks]

You think that's troubling, and you're the one who expects me to come up with all your marketable skills. What am I, your PR manager?

[articletwelve]

If I needed one, I wouldn't hire you.

[neverknocks]

Ooh, ouch. So much for trust.

[articletwelve]

[ if this wasn't audio he would be giving her a Look. ]

Like you wouldn't take the chance to mock me.

[neverknocks]

I take every chance to mock you, man. That doesn't make it special.

[ can you hear the shit-eating grin in her voice, wash ]

[articletwelve]

Point.

[ sigh ]

Don't forget to buy dinner.

[neverknocks]

Can't you buy dinner? I'm busy here, being all enterprising and shit.

[articletwelve]

Hey, you're the one making all this money.
