[Low, clearly murmured into a communicator in a public place. Hakkai's tone is extremely Rational and very focused on Problem Solving, in the dead-level way that suggests both that he will need to have a stabbing breakdown about this if he meets the people responsible and that he expects Jedao to... maybe also have a stabbing breakdown about this.

His self-control is better than Hakkai's, but Hakkai knows just how much worse this news is going to be for him.]


Eiffel's back, but he's -- Someone named Dr. Price did something to his mind. He remembered who I am and he knows what happened, but he isn't having normal reactions to any of it. He says she "stopped him from worrying."

I'm, ah.

Hoping that it's chemical and will wear off.

Dr. Hilbert predeceased these events by four months.

[So, he's very unlikely to be culpable. It's not a name that Hakkai ever heard from Jacobi, either, when he was on board. But:]

I'll ask him. Eiffel is doing maintenance on level one, sternward of the main staircase, just around the corner from me.

[Hakkai makes a quiet mental note to keep Hilbert away from Jedao.

There are some things that it's better not to push too far.]


I'll stay here. Call me immediately if you need help.

[A few minutes later, still coolly factual]

Dr. Hilbert hasn't worked with Dr. Pryce. He knows her as an AI and neurological implant specialist.
