>[I wish I could use bullets]

Yeah. Just be glad you can use them when you get a chance. I have to get help; it's embarassing.

Hey, Freelancers and AIs are supposed to help each other out. Just point and I'll shoot at it for you.

>[It's not the same]
>[Your aim is worse than mine anyway]
>[Yeah, because O'Malley helped me out so much]
>[Thanks, York]

>[It's not the same]

It's not quite the same. There's a big difference between watching somebody do it for you and doing it yourself.

Yeah, okay, I can give you that.

...I mean, I guess you could always possess me, if you really needed to hit something.

>[Not my style]
>[Too much like O'Malley]
>[Really?]
>[Do it now]

>[Really?]

Sombody not bitching about possession? Wow.

Thanks, York.

Hey, unless I'm off base here, you actually prefer me alive. So, yeah. I don't mind so much.

>[Aww, that's sweet.]
>[Good point]
>[Really truly?]
>[I actually want you dead]

>[Aww, that's sweet.]

Aww, that's sweet. Nice to know there's one person's head I can jump into without having to fight for it.

Until I get Delta back, anyway. Bad idea to have two at once.

>[Of course]
>[Delta can share]
>[I just want you for your body]
>[You're never getting him back]

>[Of course]

Yeah, I know.

Till then? You got a place here whenever you want it.

>[I knew I could count on you]
>[I missed you]
>[That's kind of creepy]
>[Hit on him]

>[I missed you]

Thanks. It's good to see you again, York.

...I kinda missed you. Seemed like we still had catching up to do.

[Big dorky grin inside helmet what?]

Well, it's not like I really did a whole lot in between leaving the Project and seeing you again, but I missed you too, Allison. There's only so many people out there who know what it's like to be a Freelancer, you know?

>[I know]
>[You still think that even though I'm an AI?]
>[...Nobody here even knows my name is Allison]
>[You'd be surprised, there are a lot of people here]

>[I know]

Yeah, I know. I wasn't exactly holding out hope for other Freelancers, either. I didn't think the odds were that great.

Hey, odds were meant to be beaten.

>[Not really]
>[Guess I'm lucky after all]
>[No, simulation soldiers were meant to be beaten]
>[Only if you're Master Chief, smartass]
~~>[I'll believe that when you show up for real]~~

>[Guess I'm lucky after all]

Guess I'm lucky after all...or you are.

I'll go for you being lucky. I think I used all mine up with not being dead.

>[Damn right]
>[We're both lucky]
>[No, you used all yours up when you got Delta]
>[I'm dead too]

>[No, you used all yours up when you got Delta]

You used up all your luck getting D. You got somebody who's easy to work with.

Can't argue with that. It's like winning the goddamn lottery - I got a sane AI.

...Uh. No offense.

>[Did you just call me crazy?]
>[Besides me, you mean?]
>[I knew what you meant]
>[Punch him in the face]

>[I knew what you meant]

Yeah, I got a winner with O'Malley.

...You were talking about O'Malley, right?

Him and Epsilon and Carolina's...hell, most of them, really. Delta and--well, and you, I guess, now that I know you're one of them--you two are pretty awesome.

>[I'm not really like them]
>[Did you ever meet my AI ex-boyfriend?]
>[Don't forget Gamma]
>[You're right]

>[Did you ever meet my AI ex-boyfriend?]

Did you ever meet Church? Now that I know about the whole AI thing, I'm kinda doubting that he was a ghost, too...

...Seriously? You thought you were a ghost? Delta'd tell you differently....

And no, I can't say I did.

>[I was transparent and I thought I was dead]
>[I waited to see if you were a ghost too]
>[Delta says a lot of things]
>[Church is a real asshole]

>[I was transparent and I thought I was dead]

...I was transparent and I thought I was dead, York. It was kind of an obvious conclusion.

Huh. I guess I spend too much time looking at a transparent guy for "ghost" to be the first thing that comes to my head. Omega never really did like projecting himself, did he?

>[No, he was a creepy bastard]
>[I would have preferred being a ghost, really]
>[Are you saying you would have called me on it?]
>[Now you know why I never jumped you]

>[Are you saying you would have called me on it?]

Not really, but-are you saying if I had shown you the whole ghost trick, you would've said something about the AI thing?
