[The voice that filters through has the gruff, raspy edge of someone who hasn't spoken in a while.]

I need intel on the monsters on the outskirts. I'll kill them in exchange.

[After a moment:] There's something else that I need. A cloak. It needs to - [an irritated sigh, and in a mutter:] how do I explain this - to be able to offset high temperatures. A heat sink. It'll increase my functionality.

I can do something in return. That's all.

Maybe. [She concedes.] But that doesn't change the idea.

The more you mess around with the boundaries, the more anything observing will notice. Might be able to get its attention and figure out your. Arm problem....

[rebellions]

[ She does have a point, but even so, there's something else that bothers him about the way she talks about the issue, and he can't keep ignoring it anymore. ]

... Why do you even care? It's not your arm that's gone missing.

[abandonware]

[The frown can be heard in her voice.]

I'm going to be testing the boundaries of the simulation anyway. I don't trust anything here. Might as well look for your arm. What, do you wanna be armless forever?

[rebellions]

[ "Don't trust anything," she says... Well, that's something he can agree on, which is probably why he's not so keen on the idea of receiving assistance from her. Still, she does make a good point about letting things stay as they are now. ]

...No.

[ The tension and suspicion previously present in his voice seem to let up a little, at least. ]

Make sure you don't end up breaking something and screwing all of us in the process.

[ Like a certain someone did when he blew up the city hall that one time. Oops. ]

[abandonware]

[Coolly:] I'm not going to do anything like stick my arms somewhere they don't belong, if that's what you're worried about.

[She's not going to be lectured by someone missing an arm, she thinks.] I just want to learn more about this simulation.

[rebellions]

Hardy har har.

[ But he can't argue with that... even if it's a low bar. ]

Good luck with that. We've been learning shit at a snail's pace so far.

[ He doubts she'll do any better, but who knows? It'd be helpful if she could uncover something they haven't figured out before. ]

[abandonware]

Snail's pace isn't a bother. Got nothing but time here. We'll see.

[rebellions]

Good point. [ At least in theory, it applies to all of them. ] Don't forget to share your findings with the class.

[abandonware]

Yeah. [How odd. It was almost like being on a team again.

... She shouldn't think that way.]

If I find anything, I'll keep everyone updated.
