Nearly lunchtime. She smiles, settling in behind her desk for the take-out from Al's Slow Food that's set up neatly in front of her. Thank the Code for her delivery service having thrived and expanded during the recent influx of residents to Mainframe; there'll be a grocery order waiting for her at home tonight so she can take the time to cook a full meal for Bob and Mairi, after picking them up after this interview.
There's a buzz from her intercom.
"Yes, Otora?"
"Secured link from the Guardian Collective, sir-ma'am. Should I accept or cancel?"
"Accept; it's my usual minutely call from the Prime Guardian."
Dot sighs and sits back in her chair, watching the vidwindow with a neutral expression, with only the required touch of disdain this conversation would call for.
"Hello, Turbo."

Date: 2011-01-28 04:30 am (UTC)She's not about to let him forget just what Dot holds so very much against him.
"Sending over the data on Mairi's development, not much has changed since the last compilation though."

Date: 2011-01-28 04:30 am (UTC)"Still have more questions than answers?"
no subject
Date: 2011-01-28 04:34 am (UTC)Is there anything new coming up?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-28 04:55 am (UTC)Not really expecting an answer, Turbo waits expectantly for whatever other good news she has.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-28 05:02 am (UTC)"...speaking of, there has been something I will have to bring up with you about that coverstory."
no subject

Date: 2011-01-28 05:21 am (UTC)It's time to lay the data onto the spreadsheet after all.
"After all, you knew he was going to slip-up in that cover-story sometime."
no subject
Date: 2011-01-28 06:04 am (UTC)So, a nod is all she's getting. For now.

Date: 2011-01-28 06:14 am (UTC)"Before you go punishing him too hard for not telling you first thing, keep in mind I swore him to secrecy before he became a Guardian Cadet." She absolutely HATES this, having to give up something to him.
Of course once she does give it up, he's going to be the one that has to handle it.
"There isn't any hidden system. It was the only story that the public would actually buy without causing more of a panic, especially when it came to light that a User-sent Upgrade was what brought Daemon into the Central Computer."
"We have proof that Users exist. The sprites from the hidden system were such beings."
no subject
Date: 2011-01-29 04:32 am (UTC)"So I don't have a hidden system to worry about. Instead I have Users.
"I wouldn't call that much of an improvement."

Date: 2011-01-29 04:48 am (UTC)Take a random guess what she means by that Turbo.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-29 04:52 am (UTC)"So how do I contact them?
"Don't exactly talk to Users every day."
no subject
Date: 2011-01-29 04:56 am (UTC)"They're going to end up either contacting me, Bob or Enzo...we're the only ones with access to Milliways currently."
no subject
Date: 2011-01-29 05:19 am (UTC)"I'll consider carefully how to set the permissions on this. The safety of the 'Net comes first.
"How soon can we get started on this?"
no subject
Date: 2011-01-29 05:27 am (UTC)"You're also going to want to talk to Enzo right away. He got lucky in his friends figuring out his access to Userspace, and have agreed to secrecy."
"If you want to ask questions about the limitations of access..."
no subject
Date: 2011-01-29 05:37 am (UTC)He ponders her last comment. "Not right now. Maybe later."
"I'll access Enzo first and see what he has to say. Then I'll go from there."

Date: 2011-01-29 05:48 am (UTC)"I want to hear his side of it."
Because whatever that side is, Turbo has a feeling it's going to be 'interesting' in all kinds of trouble-making ways.
