Downtime Week 3 - Xub 1 - Disbelief

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 3:53 am

"Yeah. Sometimes, the smallest things can cause the most problems," Will smiled, but with a notable sigh.

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 3:55 am

"Whoa hey now! Don't be like that! Great things come in small packages." Tink asserted flitting off Cal's shoulder and onto the tabletop.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 3:58 am

Will quickly moved to take the photo off the table, in a total conspicuous non-conspicuous manner.

"Of course, Tink. They can be,a t least, if they've got the proper attitude...and a big, strong man to look after them," he laughed, a little too-heartedly.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:01 am

"Heyyy, whatcha got there?" Cal said, his eyes, naturally, recording everything as he zooms in on the picture.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:02 am

"It's nothing, really..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:04 am

"Y-yeah, just a picture..."

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:26 am

Tink raised an eyebrow at the two.

"You do realise you are acting very suspicious?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:28 am

"Suspicious? Us?" Will said, suspiciously.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:32 am

"What's supposed to be suspicious about a picture?" Sara tries to bluff a little less obvious than Will.

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:39 am

"It could be naked pictures. Though I've seen Will naked and the picture would need to be much larger than that to get it zoomed in enough..."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:42 am

"Can change size and shape at will. Watch out, or I'll smother you," Will joked back, caaarefully trying to slide the picture into his pocket.

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:52 am

Tink flicked her wrist casually but with perfect aim causing the picture to rise up out of Will's pocket.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:54 am

Will makes a grab for it, but he's caught unaware, and the picture flutters back to the table.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:16 am

Cal wasn't exactly ready for it, but he could fake it well enough. He snagged the picture as it started coming down. "Let's see... Will naked? Sara naked? What've we got here..."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:18 am

"Shit."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:20 am

Sara's eyes go wide as Cal snatched up the floating ultrasound picture and tries to reach for it to grab it out of Cal's hand. "Give it back!"

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:22 am

Cal's eyes went wide when he looked at the picture. He let Sara snatch it back. After all, he could always reproduce it later if Tink hadn't seen it. "Wow. Now there's an interesting twist."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:23 am

"Cal, you can't tell anyone about this...we...we just found out, we don't know what to do, we don't know how it happened..."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:26 am

Cal fought back the urge to smirk. "Well, Will, you see, when a man and a woman love each other very much... well, or sometimes if they're really drunk, they begin to have feelings, you see, and... well, urges..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:28 am

"We're not idiots." she frowns as she pockets the picture.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:30 am

"I'm a protoplasmic based lifeform who shouldn't be viable as I don't produce any reproductive fluid unless I will to. Stick that in your data port and process it," he said, frowning. "This is serious."

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:33 am

"Its a baby Will. A baby that the two of you who love each other very much somehow managed to make. There's no shame in that, you are allowed to be happy." Tink flitted over to Sara and stroked her hand affectionately.

"People will follow your lead - if you are happy about it they will be happy about it. Its a herd syndrome when it comes to these types of reactions. We won't tell anyone. Will we Cal?" Tink said with a glare that clearly stated if he did that Tink would skin him.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:34 am

"Tink...we're still kids, practically. We're not ready for this yet..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:36 am

"Yeah... we haven't really come to a decision yet... This is all kind of a shock..."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:37 am

"Of course we won't say anything. Granted, I don't know how you're going to hide it after a few months," Cal pointed out.

"Damn, and people say that my security functions suck," he chuckled, pointedly.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:40 am

"We're not gonna hide anything...if we...well, assuming we...you know.

We just want to make that decision ourselves, rather than having someone else spread our exploits to the four winds," Will said, pointedly.

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:41 am

"Well I'm sure you will reach the decision that is right for both of you." Tink soothed, though she did chuckle at Cal's comment.

"I can breach your security in about five seconds Cal Strong."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:43 am

"No effort there, you already have full clearance," he joked back, reaching out and running a finger down her back.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:45 am

"I only found out an hour or so ago... I... we just... need time to decide what we're going to do now." she smiles faintly at Tink and her attempt to reassure her.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:47 am

"And I'm about 10 minutes in, so, uh, yeah."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:47 am

"My AI says that gestating is the logical next step. Then something about a shapeshifting army that will take over the world, but I think he just reacts weird to alcohol."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:49 am

"I wish deciding on the next step was that easy..."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:52 am

Will had to laugh at Cal's comment. "Yeah, you tell your AI that we're not breeding stock," he chuckled.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:54 am

"He says that the evidence points to the contrary," Cal said, smirking.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:59 am

"Right, then. AIs will be first against the wall when the revolution comes."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 6:02 am

"Why? The AIs are the ones who aren't uncontrollably creating an army of spawn," Cal chuckled.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 6:04 am

"Yes, but they're on our side, remember," Will said, thankful for the distraction.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 6:04 am

"One! Okay? And an accidental one." Sara lets off some steam, clearly not in the mood for jokes.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 6:08 am

"In only a few weeks! At this rate, the first task force might be ready for training in under a decade," Cal smirked. In retrospect, he would probably agree that he was enjoying the conversation far too much.

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 6:09 am

"Why don't you punch one of them? Cal won't feel it and Will would forgive you if he did. Just no brick arms." Tink suggested.

"It would relieve some of your tension."
