[6:25pm] Aeros: Lawrence has been rather 'quiet' since you got him again from the turtle hermit. he seems wary of you, and especially of Tom and his pokemon. But he seems to stay with you. Loyalty to the turtle hermit seems strong, and if the turtle hermit said for you to keep him, he'll stay.
[6:26pm] • Leo says back to Lawrence, "I think I'm beginning to understand your family's point of view. Thanks for that, at the very least."
[6:26pm] • Leo back to Teresa
[6:27pm] Leo: "It went... alright, I suppose. He's certainly a difficult man to speak to."
[6:27pm] Teresa: "A jerk then, huh?"
[6:28pm] Tom: "Fits with what little information I got anyway."
[6:28pm] Leo: "In a word, yes. I think he also happens to be the one behind our little problem. But I have nothing better than a hunch to go on."
[6:28pm] Teresa: "Well it's a place to start."
[6:29pm] Teresa: "I don't think Hudson is our problem. He might have his own agenda or be playing his own game, but to be honest I think he's just swamped keeping things running."
[6:29pm] • Leo says quietly, "However, I can't imagine him not taking the leap of logic that hearing me ask him questions a little close to home means that we're in some way on to it. We should watch our steps from now on."
[6:30pm] Leo: "It's good that one of us has made a connection with him, at least."
[6:30pm] Leo: "I'm surprised it's taken us this long."
[6:30pm] • Teresa nods.
[6:31pm] Leo: "And... how was Maria?"
[6:31pm] Leo: "Nothing broken, I hope."
[6:34pm] Leo: (Tom? Or gathering your thoughts/typing?)
[6:34pm] Tom: "Didn't really pan out much."
[6:35pm] Tom: "She says taylor's kind of like kits with a few more sticks up his ass, but other than that."
[6:35pm] Teresa: "How many times did she question your manhood?"
[6:36pm] Tom: "None. Like I said, not too much came from it."
[6:36pm] Teresa: "Wow, she must have been in a pretty good mood."
[6:38pm] Tom: "Although I think she's probably pretty trustworthy at least as far as this goes. From what I hear, Taylor doesn't really want anything to do with Maria."
[6:39pm] Leo: "Makes sense. She's something of a loose cannon."
[6:40pm] Teresa: "Yeah, from what Leo said it sounds like putting them in the same room would make for a pretty big explosion."
[6:42pm] Teresa: "Hudson seemed reasonable, but very focused on his job."
[6:45pm] Teresa: i think Aeros may have lost his interwebs
[6:46pm] Leo: (Uh oh)
[6:46pm] Tom: (why do you say that?)
[6:46pm] Tom: (he's still connected.)
[6:46pm] Aeros left the chat room. (Ping timeout)
[6:47pm] Leo: (Spoke too soon)
[6:47pm] Teresa: the rain seems to have knocked him off
[6:49pm] Teresa: he says to keep chatting while he tries and fixes it, if we want
[6:49pm] Leo: (ok)
[6:54pm] Leo: (Nothing to discuss? :< I can't think of anything)
[6:54pm] Leo: (But Lawrence learned Skull Bash, so that's cool)
[6:54pm] Teresa: "So, we've established that Taylor is an ass, Maria is still Maria, and Hudson may actually be a good guy."
[6:54pm] Leo: (And I need to use Nectanebo. He's gonna evolve soon :D)
[6:55pm] Leo: "Essentially. It certainly narrows things down a bit."
[6:55pm] Leo: (Did taylor tell me or did hudson tell you about the mission in 3/5 days?)
[6:56pm] Teresa: (i think it was Hudson)
[6:56pm] Teresa: (Aeros says all of his cable is out, not just interwebs)
[6:57pm] Leo: (D:)
[6:57pm] Tom: "Can someone give me a quick recap as to why we did this again?"
[6:58pm] Leo: "Teresa probably should."
[6:59pm] Teresa: "We think that there are multiple factions with agents on this ship who are acting out their own agendas, in some cases actively hostile to us, and in other cases dangerous if not actively malevolent."
[6:59pm] Teresa: "So we wanted to try and figure out who is on what side."
[7:00pm] Leo: (/me meant psychically, but I should have been more specific :B sorry)
[7:00pm] Teresa: (oops sorry... let's say i psychic'd that. i was texting with aeros)
[7:03pm] Teresa: ﹁ Also no one had talked to Hudson at all and that seemed like a good thing to do in any case. ﹂
[7:03pm] Tom: "Y'know, it just occured to me. Maybe we shoulda asked the twins about this."
[7:03pm] • Teresa smacks her forehead. "We definitely should. Good call."
[7:03pm] Leo: "There's also the data chip, and the fact that the commodore knew nothing about it."
[7:04pm] Teresa: "That's was odd."
[7:04pm] Teresa: ﹁ I wonder what Sam ended up saying to Kits... ﹂
[7:05pm] Leo: "I brought it up with Taylor, and he seemed to evade the question. Could mean anything, but..." he lets the sentence hang.
[7:08pm] • Teresa nods.
[7:09pm] Leo: "I wonder where Sam is anyway."
[7:09pm] Teresa: "Still with Kits I imagine."
[7:10pm] Leo: (Wait, is it still the same day?)
[7:10pm] Teresa: (i think so...? maybe...?)
[7:10pm] Teresa: (if not, "Still at the gym I assume."
[7:10pm] Leo: (I was assuming it was the next day :B The 28th, but it being the 27th would make sense too)
[7:18pm] Leo: (I guess we wait for Aeros to find out)
[7:18pm] Teresa: (yeah :C)
[7:34pm] Tom: (PM me if he gets back on)
[7:34pm] Tom: (I'll be playing GW2)
[7:34pm] Teresa: (k)
[7:38pm] Teresa: (fuuuu
[7:38pm] Teresa: Aeros says Comcast gave him a 4hr ETA
[7:38pm] Leo: D:
[7:38pm] Leo: Well, shit
[7:41pm] Teresa: maybe we can make up at some point if Aeros is up to it?
[7:41pm] Teresa: up for it
[7:41pm] Teresa: whatever
[7:41pm] Leo: Maybe
[7:42pm] Leo: BEB one sec
