*Holding my cup with two hands, I take another meek little sip as well*
In that case, call me the Cat Burglar.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Because you always land on your feet?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Laughs lightly through another sip*
Yeah, you could say that.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Since we've got some time, I don't take it you two have deets? You've been leaving me in suspense here.
*Motions my cup toward Data*
Want any?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I'm unfortunately in no position to take you up on your offer.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

On what in particular?

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Shrugs*
Suit yourself.
*Chugs down the rest of my first cup before hunting down the second*

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Data doesn't enlist people to help with lab stuff on a whim. I've got to know the sitch.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

It was a but more complicated than just helping with an experiment. He basically lost his keys and was locked out of the house. Needed help getting back in, apparently.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Mmmmm...
*Glances at Data*
Biometrics?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Effectively.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You live and you learn. Of course, it ended up turning much more complicated as time went on. Y’know.
*Nudges my head toward the paper*

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Yeah, how'd you get to this point?
*Waves the paper*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Long short is: Navigated through security measures, learned they were tampered with, got to the end, big reveal of who’s responsible, fight, blood, sweat, tears, end.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Raises an eyebrow*
There better be a video or something, because this rendition has zero pizzazz. How'd you go from fighting someone to getting this letter?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

This is all so recent that it still has me exhausted, and thinking about a lot. Singularity reached the point where she thought she killed Data, and I ran with it as her time in our timeline was running out. She poured her heart out to me and asked me to make sure you got that.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Makes a face*
I hate time shenanigans. Let me tell you, the last time someone messed with that kind of stuff around me, Time Line nearly got his face smashed in by a river monster.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Now that sounds like a story.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Oh yeah, it was. So how did presumably beating and disappearing this time traveler convince her to trust you with this thing? She didn't know future me very well if she thought I'd just be cool about that.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

She just ran out of time, I’m guessing. This cloaked person was there, but I don’t think they had anything to do with that, just her getting into the lab in the first place. We’d been going back and forth about principles and whether it was right to kill past Data for something he didn’t do, but in the end, I think it’s just because I was the only one there.
