From: Alison
Subject: Books...

Have a few books that just arrived - some of them you'd like I think. I'm thinking of indulging in some serious reading catching up this evening, in the rec room. Care to join me?

Sorry for falling asleep like that yesterday. Make up for it today? I have time this afternoon...

Alison

PS. So, did you like the fudge?

To: lifesaver
From: firefly
Subject: Done.

Well, sorta. I got a bit elaborate, but I think there might be something happening, regarding what you emailed me about. I'll keep an eye on Samson's schedule in the coming days and keep you updated.

Subject: Men. :p

Anika,

You know, sometimes I hate admitting that maybe something I think is horrendously stupid maybe isn't even if I think it is? You get the idea.

If Mick were to do something like that, best situation involves it being with Tim around. Optimal for both of them. They'll back each other up, command and second. And probably swipe the entire lot of operatives MacInnis has right from under his nose. I kinda like that notion. Rat Bastard deserves it - his methods stink.

Doesn't mean howling in protest isn't warranted. And... I guess I'm saying I hate the idea and wish you'd both stay away and safe, but if wishes were horses... and I figure if Mick's going, someone has to go along and ride herd on both he and Tim so they don't do something (else) that's abysmally stupid.

I'm going to go grumble at Tim now. Sorta. At least I'm going to see about the pick-up being nearby. I'd like to see you all.

Alison

PS - Also? How long has it been since we got him out that he's done that? Not backed down?

To: Tim@encryptedaddress
From: Encrypted Address
Subject: Update...

So when you lot meet-up for you to pick up your new second, mind doing that in NY? I'd like to check up on you myself, for one thing. For I am a suspicious sort and do not trust MacInnis as far as I can get, oh, say, Colossus to throw him. In a nice tornado like day. With lots of lightning added to the mix and stuff to.

I could go on.

Well. We'll see if it works. Sometimes I outsubtle myself. Heh.

Implant news. Good. Hands-on?

I just had to censor myself six ways from Sunday. Still haven't managed to reply to an email from Haroun, because I swear to go every single turn of phrase is just bad bad bad. BAD.

Gah. And we're talking about going to read books in the rec room of all things!

With Paige, subtle is good. I've already stomped in with my size eights, so let's hope you have more luck.

Hands-on as we're looking to do some tweaking to try and reduce the flow as much as we can without hurting him. No guarantees, but Forge is pretty convinced this will work, and I'm willing to trust his judgement.

*hugs* I know, hon. And I still feel awful for having to tell you to back off in the first place. Let alone the way I did it.

Maddie.

Subject: The power of gossip...

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

...is also a wonderful thing. Stomped in? What the when how? And we'll see. Crossing my fingers and all...

I would be willing to trust Forge's judgement in his field of speciality as well, really. And the alternate field is yours, so I'm trusting that too. (You'll let me go wah at you anyway?)

Well... I don't think there'd have been any good way to say it. And you knew about Hank already then, didn't you?

...why can I not find a single way to answer my boyfriend which does not include extremely lewd undertones? Huh?

*beats head on desk*

Alison

Subject: No gossip here...

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

That would be the part on the announcement about Hank's condition where I smacked down the obviously not-dealing girl pretty hard. We've cleared it up since, mostly, but I have the feeling if I suggested anything along those lines, she wouldn't take it from me. And it runs in the family. *sighs* Never mind, not a problem.

Wah if you need to, hon, although I'm doing all I can. Paige and Forge have been invaluable. I really don't know what I would have done without them.

And I didn't know, but I suspected something was up. After I talked to you I ran the tests on him. So yeah, bad news twice in one day.

Because you're thinking constantly about sex because it's like trying not to think about the elephant?

Maddie.

Subject: Gossip everywhere!

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Or at least I'm hoping Marie-Ange will. Though it's more like trainee information she can get from Paige, rather than gossip. So it's all legit. And Madelyn? Paige wouldn't take that from anyone. Not unless it were done very carefully and over time and well - when not having time, one resorts to other measures. Though Scott and I did, I think, start helping to ease some stuff lately. (Btw. Jono's good to go out, right? Tinkerbell status and all? I'd go for a walk outside and invite him along, if so...)

I know. I just didn't want to put more pressure on you, which is why I asked? It's scary how much I owe those two. For the help end of last year and now and... yeah. They do good.

So yeah. I'm just going to hug you silly soon as I see you. Warned and all.

Grnrnr. You know how the water in the medlab can get colder than anywhere in the mansion? I think I'm going to see you sooner, and take advantage of the arctic cold thing in the process.

Me and cold showers are getting to be very good friends lately.
