Heyyyyyyyy, kiddo, you've reached me. Me who is Rhys. Anyway, not sure why you're trying to get in contact with the king of the dweebs, but I'm sure you've got your reasons. Reasons you should probably re-examine. I'm just sayin'.

Last chance to back out.

No?

Don't say I didn't warn ya.

[Every time she hears this inbox recording it grates a little more, honestly, but hey! She's made progress, so she's cheerful when she messages Rhys.]

Hey, Rhys. I talked to someone named Tony Stark, some big shot tech guy. John vouched for him. He says he thinks he might be able to get rid of Jack, but he might need to take apart some of your cybernetics to do it, or hook you up to some sort of... outside system or something.

Busy with what? And what do you mean "get to the stuff I've mentioned"?

[Rhys, don't do this to her, please.]

Rhys.

[Fiona, for her part, is sounding increasingly incredulous.]

You said you'd be willing to try.

Peer— Peer pressure-y?

[Her voice is raising now, and she doesn't even bother to try to keep herself from yelling.]

Rhys, he tried to kill me! He did kill you! What the hell is wrong with you?

Are you—

[She just sputters ineffectually for a moment. Is he seriously making that comparison? Seriously?]

Jack is a homicidal maniac who ripped Pandora apart looking for vaults, who killed more people than we can count, and you're trying to compare him to me and Sasha? Because you screwed up our deal and tried to steal our caravan?

[She's so angry she can barely think straight.]

I guess nothing compares to your Hyperion cult of personality, huh? It doesn't matter how many people Jack kills. This was all just a massive waste of my time. All of it.

You want to be buddy buddy with your knock-off Jack? Fine. But I won't be a part of it. I don't know what I expected. I don't know why—

[She doesn't know what she expected. Sasha was right.]

Once Hyperion, always Hyperion, huh? Jack outranks everyone else, and you don't give a shit what he does to me, or you, or anyone.

[She lets out a strangled, frustrated noise. She's so angry, so disappointed, so hurt, that she doesn't know any other way to let it out.]

You're an asshole, Rhys.

I'm not the one idolizing a mass murderer, Rhys. You don't even know what his plan is yet. You didn't even hear it, and you're defending this psychopath, acting like he didn't know what he was doing when we're the ones who had to deal with what he did for years while you hung out in your fucking space station, justifying this bullshit to yourself, and now you—

[She lets out a sharp, shaky exhale.]

Fuck you. This place is trying to murder me already. I'm not going to let you try, too.

Oh, sorry, you mean the planet I live on? Yeah, fuck all those people who died, right? I didn't, so it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter that I'm trapped there, either, or that I was born there, or that I didn't have any choice, either. Jack did it, so it was justified. And I'm just a low-class Pandoran, anyway. Totally expendable.

You didn't even hear his plan! He might not even have to touch your cybernetics! Just admit that you don't give a shit about anything but Jack. Just admit it. All this other bullshit you're spewing is just a convenient excuse. How many people have been hurt because of that fucking AI? If you don't give a shit about me or House, what about Angel? What is it going to take, Rhys?

Hey. You leave Dumpy out of this.

[God, Rhys, quit being an asshole. She lets out a frustrated noise.]

If you've got something else to say, say it. Otherwise we're done here.

[That was the last of his last chances, and he doesn't respond, which just cements in her mind everything she's already suspected. It's a good thing those tablets are durable, because she's whipping hers at the wall, and she won't respond again.]
