[ Yeah, so, Qubit looks a little put out for some reason! Almost as if he took something personally that definitely wasn't meant that way. ]

Qubit here. In light of recent events, I'd like to remind everyone that circumventing security measures makes the station less safe for all of us.

[ Holds up his index finger- ] Now before anyone starts, I'm by no means disputing your fundamental right to privacy. No, there should not be cameras in your private rooms. But the cameras in public spaces are there for a reason - to detect things like, say, an intruder planting surveillance where it shouldn't be.

[ He pauses for a moment, debating whether he should go for this next part. But... yes. Yes, he absolutely is this petty. ]

... On a side note. For anyone unfamiliar with Earth mythologies, "Loki" is the name of a Norse trickster god, best known for repeatedly deceiving his family and friends for his own amusement. More fool them for trusting him, I suppose.

[ Then he shrugs, with a wry expression that isn't quite a smile. ] Although if memory serves, his little pranks generally come back to bite him, sooner or later. Food for thought.

That is exactly what he did.

[I DON'T KNOW BUT IT'S SUPER WEIRD.]

And it was nuts because I really needed it, too. It's like he knew exactly what to say.

[ Qubit's not really sure how to feel about that. On the one hand, that was... kind of him, I guess? There are worse things you could do with empathic powers. But on the other hand, he personally kind of hates unsolicited advice, and he hates people butting in on his thoughts even more. It's precisely why he has a brain full of psi-shielding. ]

... Well, I'm glad you found it helpful. I'm assuming he was a little more... coherent at the time?

[ In case you haven't noticed, Qubit is not the most patient guy, and so far he finds Cole's particular brand of weirdness a little frustrating. ]

[itsnotaonesie]

He uh, became more coherent the more I talked to him. Or, maybe I was just getting better at understanding where he was coming from. I know he's a little odd, but we're all kind of weird in our own ways.

[Oh Peter knows. He pays very close attention to things that annoy Qubit. For reasons.]

[superposition]

[ And Qubit can't seem to stop giving him ammunition. Everybody wins! (Except Qubit.) ]

That may be, but does he have to be so New Age about everything?

[itsnotaonesie]

[Sorry Qubit but not even.

And now Peter's chuckling.]

Okay, he's kind of a... crunchy, kinda hippie sort of guy? I find it refreshing, though.

[Kind of. Mostly he's just saying it to annoy Qubit. Lovingly.]

[superposition]

[ Yeeeah he's kinda picking up on that. ]

Suppose there's no accounting for taste.

[itsnotaonesie]

[DAMMIT, he's caught onto the bullshit!!]

What? You're tellin' me you don't get tired of staring at technology all day?

[superposition]

You're telling me you do?

[itsnotaonesie]

Sometimes I like to look at my cat.

But nah, you got me there.

[superposition]

That's what cat videos are for.

[ weren't they having a serious conversation like two minutes ago jesus christ ]

[itsnotaonesie]

I mean, I could just record my own.

[What is wrong with these assholes??? What is wrong with these assholes????]

I think we got a little off track.

[superposition]

[ what's not wrong with them, lets be real ]

... We did. [ He clears his throat. ] I'll let you go. Thanks for the intel, though.

[itsnotaonesie]

[I mean yeah fair.]

No problem, man. Thanks for listening, I'll catch you later.

[and peter hangs up his SPACE PHONE THE END]
