[Oh my stars and garters, it's someone Tex hasn't seen in a while.]

[Well, maybe not quite screaming but she's definitely surprised]

YORK?!

Tex?

[He gets down to eye level and peers at her.]

Or is that just O'Malley faking it again. I hate when he does that.

[If she was solid, there'd be a good THWACK on his helmet]

Of course it's me, you moron. If I was O'Malley I'd be doing a lot more cackling and ranting.

[He chuckles.]

All right, all right, you have a point. So, uh. Since when are you a hologram?

>[Since I got here, moron]
>[Always been one]
>[You didn't know?]
>[What's it to you, punk?]

>[Since I got here, moron]

Ever since I got stuck in the systems. It wasn't exactly a great surprise.

How the hell are you not dead, York?

No kidding. Damn. Wonder if D's in there somewhere?

...Right. Uh. [...] Hell, I don't know. Just woke up here.

>[Exclaim how good it is to have him back]
>[Tell him he needs to be more observant]
>[Ask what happened to Delta]
>[Hit on him]

>[Ask what happened to Delta]

Wait, D's not dead, either?

I...I mean, I don't think so. Not if I'm still here, right? But if he was supposed to get deleted when my armor shut down, I--

>[Reassure him]
>[Tell him Delta's probably dead]
>[Change the subject]
>[Give him a holographic hug]

>[Reassure him]

If you're not dead, that means he's probably fine. He just might still be in storage or something.

[He brightens up noticeably. Well, noticeably to someone used to reading people in armor, anyway.]

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

So how is this place, anyway? It looks kinda, well. Kinda gross, really.

>[At least I don't have to smell it]
>[Better than Blood Gulch]
>[I get to control tentacles]
>[Not so bad, now that you're here]

>[Not so bad, now that you're here]

Let me put it this way: you have no idea how lucky you are that you missed the zombies.

But it's a little better knowing there's somebody I actually know around.

What, like actual zombies? [He makes a disgusted noise.] Yeah, I'll go with lucky on that one!

...Thanks. Getting thrown into a computer and being forced to fight zombies all by yourself? Damn. I mean, if you weren't you, it'd be pretty goddamn hard to adjust.

>[Tell him it was hard to adjust anyway]
>[Admit that other people helped fight the zombies]
>[Detail the zombie attack]
>[Accuse him of hitting on her]

>[Admit that other people helped fight the zombies]

It was group effort thing. Most of the crew was down in the Vatican; I was the AI we sent out to warn them about where the things were coming from. You were lucky they missed your pod, York.

[He nods.] I'll say. Better sort-of alive than really dead, huh?

[York reaches out a hand to her and then hesitates.]

So...you're an AI now. Is it--I mean, are you okay with that? I mean, it seems pretty different, but you're still you under all that, right?

>[Call him an idiot]
>[Answer sarcastically]
>[Admit it's creepy as hell]
>[Jump into his helmet and show him firsthand]

>[Jump into his helmet and show him firsthand]

Well, aside from the fact that I'm stuck with just hologram, I still feel like myself...

..and I can do this now.

[jumps in]

[WHOA PANIC WHAT]

[Oh. Oh]

[Softly, he sends a few thoughts her way.]

Hey. Hope it's still in order up there.

>[Jump out, cause it's kind of intimate in there]
>[Offer to stick with him until they find Delta again]
>[Tell him it's a mess and he has the most disorganized brain ever]
>[Poke around until you find that he might maybe sort of have romantic feelings for you in there]

>[Offer to stick with him until they find Delta again]

Looks like it's still in one piece. Should I try to keep crap in order until we find D?

Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that. Gets kinda lonely by myself, you know?

>[Agree]
>[Call him a softie]
>[Say he's better to hang out with than Grif]
>[Agree on the condition that he lets you beat people up sometimes]

>[Agree]

Yeah. I got my fill of being alone when I was hunting O'Malley.

Yeah, well. Any time you don't have to do anything to keep this place running, you can hitch a ride with me, yeah? Bet I'd be twice as good a shot with you up there, anyhow.

>[Hey, buddy, I'm three times better than you]
>[I don't have any real responsibilities anyway]
>[Any time]
>[I like hanging out with Stacy better, sorry]

>[I don't have any real responsibilities anyway]

It's not like I have a whole lot to do in here. I'm more useful if I can hitch a ride with somebody.

All right! Plus, you could make sure I don't get lost. This place is pretty big.

>[Welcome to the meatship]
>[It's not that hard to navigate, Mr. Codependent]
>[Don't you want to know how I can be useful?]
>[[You're more agreeable than O'Malley, anyway]
