I'm supposed to be sleeping. But I feel like crap tonight and the inactivity is getting to me.

You've caught the references on the journals to what's going on with Sabretooth, this Senator, and one of the students here, right? There's some talk now about coordinating with the government to do something about him.

The only thing is, from what I understood (prior to our Russian adventure and my little swim, after which I seem to have lost the bulk of the week, and was I sending you strange emails?), we gave the government rather a lot of new information after the incident at the rally. I'm guessing that there wouldn't really have been a lot of time to work that new information into the existing profile. This is all happening very fast.

I suppose what I'm asking is whether you might help us out. Being able to present conclusions from our data might help us convince the government to let us in on what I'm not going to call fun, even on my sickbed. I get the sense you'll probably want to smack me for asking, and, well, you can do that the next time we have lunch. But if you're okay with the idea of helping out prior to getting the opportunity to smack me, as Moira's not letting me out of the house for at least another few days, let me know? I can point Garrison at you. Did you meet him? You'll like him, if not. He's very Canadian.

Okay. I think I need to go to bed now. Call me tomorrow? I can croak back at you when you call me an idiot.

You want me to take the new information and update his profile so that you can show off and get an invitation to the takedown party. Do you have a personal issue with him or one with the authorities?

Canadians are tolerable so long as they are not from Quebec. He's not from Quebec is he?

Um... something like that? And I think the answer to the question is yes. You know me and my many issues.

He's not from Quebec. Nice guy, really. Don't scare him too badly when I point him in your direction?

I thank God that I am not your shrink every. Single. Day.

You are no fun at all. If I do not get to abuse the boy, what do I get out of this?

You do? Really? But apparently I'm a really interesting case... and Jack liked scotch plenty before he met me, don't ever let him tell you otherwise.

You can abuse me in that elegant yet purely platonic way you have? I'm sorry, I think I actually typed that on the screen.

And now, look, there's my finger hitting send!

A really interesting case that I would never be able to tell anyone about. I don't demand much, just that I recieve the proper recognition in my obsessions. I have a feeling Mister Xavier would have a problem with "My Daddy Let Me Get Brainwashed and All I Got Was This Lousy Black Catsuit: A Biography" hitting the shelves.

But I already do that, even without permission.

Oh, how I regret that bottle of tequila, woman. You have absolutely no idea. Especially since I think you got more of the subsequent conversation than I did.

Hey, you're the one who started waving your arms around and yelling "What's your damage?".

And then hitting yourself in the face. And then explaining the phrase 'what's your damage' once I stopped laughing at you. And then giving examples.

I plead innocent, lawyer title here, sir.

You caught me on a bad sanity day?

Yes, let's just say that...
