Luke's, Thursday

The staff's new look momentarily distracted Hardison from noticing their vacant smiles--for a second, he'd almost thought it was normal Fandom weirdness that had them dressing up like hot dogs. It wasn't until the Cook looked up from the stove to wave cheerfully at him--instead of ignoring him as was right and proper--that Hardison realized that they, too, had been replaced by creepy pod people.

Snarling at them to stay in the kitchen unless specifically needed to do their jobs, Hardison walked over to the Specials board and erased it. There were a lot more important information to be kept track of than the food on-order today (flapjacks, flapjacks and more flapjacks, in case anyone cared). When he was done noting everything he could think of on the board, he kept it propped up in the window to attract attention. Maybe with more info than what they had, they could figure something out.

That done, Hardison set up at a booth with several laptops, trying to figure out how they were keeping communications down and seeing if there was anything he could break. He was in the mood to cause a lot of trouble today.

According to a chat I had with someone named Kinzie, we're actually in some kind of Fandom sim, a lot like the Danger Shop, only up on some weird alien spaceship. As an FYI.

It was real enough in the sim and that was what mattered to Hardison.

"Awesome," he said as his screen began filling up with the information from the data spike. "Is there anythin' else you need from me right now?"

Or could he ignore everyone and everything for a little bit and go through the data point by point in an orgy of information?

"I should be able to hold this connection now that we've got it set up, unless they start shifting ports on me," Kinzie replied. "I'll get back to you if we have anything. Get to work, keep working, sleep is for the weak."

"You sound exactly like my kinda person," Hardison said, with the first genuine laugh since he'd seen his partners vanish. "I ain't gonna stop workin' until I've cracked this code an' used it to bust Zinyak's face open. He started the day by readin' Jane Austen to us. For an hour."

Screw this guy.
