Hello again. According to Dagger you're joining us soon.

By the way I saw you were on Red. Don't say I didn't warn you.

They weren't really soliciting my advice on that one.
Sorry about your friend.

No, they don't tend to do that.
[ Also he always forgets that everyone can read everyone conversations on this thing. That jars him for a second, but it's not as if this would have been a secret anyway. ]
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
Three of us are here. I thought he was safe, at home, but now he could be anywhere. At least if he'd come here I would have known.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
Thank you, though. I'm glad to know you're safe, at least.

Do the crews know nothing about what's happening on any other?
[ It seems like a piece of information they might be able to deal for...unless the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing in this place. ]
And thanks. Looks like we'll have a little more time for exploring.

No. We didn't even know the planet you're on was called Lusania, until we were sent there. Despite us landing there before.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
I'll do everything I can. This place isn't getting any safer. I'm tired of having more questions than answers. I'm sure you are too.

I've barely gotten the tour. I'm trying to hold off tired until at least next week.
But it's another theme. Do you know any of the instructors well?

That depends on what you mean by well. Who interests you?

All of them. There's a few people around here claiming to be on good terms with one or two.
I was wondering if you're one of them.

I doubt it. I don't tend to be supportive of their plans.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
Dagger is dangerous. Volatile. Not all of his threats are serious, but some are, and he puts no value on human life. Or any life, if it displeases him. My friend has to compliment him every day, or he'll mount his head on a wall.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
Neheda seems to care about us. I think that's why they call her Mother. She let me help, when people were dying. I won't forget that.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
Ghost and Flux are partners. They're strange, but they don't seem cruel. They're the easiest to talk to.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
Armada seemed cold to me, at first. Now he doesn't. He puts priority on protecting the crew, and I can relate to that. There's part of me that likes him. I'm glad I'm on his team.
[ He doesn't mention Warriorhead, Gliese or Hornet, because he doesn't know them well enough to have formed an opinion. He doesn't know what to make of them yet. ]

Thanks. That's way more of an assessment than I was counting on. I owe you one.
[ But this is why she's getting okay with the idea of liking you, D'art. All the helping. ]
Dagger is the one most consistently coming up as the concern. Do you know how your friend struck that deal?
[ The takes a minute before adding that last word, but she doesn't know what else to call it. ]

I think it was less of a deal and more of a threat.
[ And the 'how' could more or less be summarised by him saying 'Aramis does stupid things, we can't leave him alone', but he won't. ]
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
It's possible it was a joke. Dagger also doesn't understand jokes. That's why he's dangerous, you never know if he means it or not. You're on his team, you have to be careful.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
They failed him once, and he tortured them. That one wasn't a joke.

Oh, he's on the armed and extremely dangerous list, don't worry. But he hasn't singled me out yet for a chat, so I'll take that as a good sign.

You're on his team. It'll happen.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
Don't disobey him, Rikki. Promise me. I know you want to look around, I know you don't want to accept this. Neither do I, but you need to be careful with him. With all of them.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
If you get caught and punished, you won't do any good here. I don't want you to get hurt.

That's really sweet, d'Artagnan.
[ Really, really sweet (though the fact she actually gets his name spelling right is a sign she's been over his file already). She debates a moment before replying...but there's a notable lack of an oath here. She doesn't like making promises she isn't sure she can keep yet.]
I want to meet up again. When I'm planetside.

Found out I still hate chores. So there's that.
Keeping busy?
Keeping busy?
They never really end.
Trying to. Have you gotten a chance to look through the database?
[ Not going to mention that he was knocked out for two Ajna days. More important things to go over now that she'll be planetside soon. ]

Not all the way, but I think I hit the parts you're thinking of. Even talked to Iron Man a little.
[ Peggy and James Barnes. Truth be told, that second name is off, but the 'Bucky' part is familiar enough. ]
I didn't know, you know. About some of the stuff in mine. I would have mentioned it.

Hope he was on his best behavior.
It's okay. I hadn't gotten to talking to them beforehand, about you. Had some problems after we got back from Lusania.
Agent Carter will be glad to meet you.
[ does he mention they are together ???
also probably not important right now ]

[ She notices he only mentions one of the two and almost writes 'no one likes meeting their upgrade.' Honest to god has it typed out, but deletes it before sending. Joking was all well and good, but maybe she could wait until after a few months of getting to know this version of Steve. ]
I figure I'd wait for introductions. Texting isn't really how I like to make a first impression.
[ Because she'd been raised better than that. By a version of the woman she was talking about meeting.
God, life was weird.]

Ongoing thing. Might be easier to explain when you're down here.
[ Not very subtle, but he still doesn't have any answers for what happened at camp that night. ]
Might be for the best. I can give her a heads up if you want.

I don't want to put anything on you with all this. But, honest, I'll take all the awkwardness reduction I can get.
If you do it, just tell them there's no expectations or anything, okay? I know this is beyond weird and there's enough problems in this place as is.

[ If only she knew Black Widow had given her essentially the same advice on her meeting Bucky. Too bad no one ever mentions reasons behind things to Rikki. ]
You did kinda ace taking the mid-battle PDA in stride. But you're different in so, so many ways than meeting AU grandma.
And, sure. I can do that. Probably for the best, anyway. But you know we're on the same team. I don't know how often those get thrown into close quarters together.
