Would you be typing all your orders in caps lock?
Your answer affects mine.

[servomotor]

I WILL BE ISSUING MY ORDERS IN PERSON


YOU'RE TOTALLY WORKING FOR THE MAN. WHY ARE WE PRETENDING YOU MIGHT NOT WORK FOR THE MAN. IT'S OK IF YOU'RE GOING TO WORK FOR THE MAN.

[hacker]

I haven't started working for anyone yet.

What's your issue with ZDG?
Sorry, "The Man."
Other than vague principles.

THEY ARE SUBJECT TO THE WHIMS OF THE COUNCIL, WHO ARE CURRENTLY BEING AWFUL

[ tbh she was on board even if it was just vague principles because that's essentially her reasoning for not being fond of any big brother (admittedly, this one seems to be a real 'save humanity' situation, so she was going to cut them some slack), but when tony comes out with that, she has to wonder. ]

Where the missing ships are concerned? What are they doing?

[servomotor]

SENDING CREWS OUT ON HIGH-RISK, UNDOCUMENTED MISSIONS THAT JEOPARDIZE OTHER CREWS. DK ALL THE DETAILS. THERE ARE A COUPLE PEOPLE OFF THE EREBUS WHO SEEM TO KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON THE GROUND. BEHIND THE SILK ROPES THOUGH, NOBODY IS OWNING UP TO WHO GAVE THE ORDER.

THEY ARE ALSO DEBATING OVER WHETHER THE ZDG SHOULD INVESTIGATE OR RESCUE. THAT'S RIGHT.

IF.

THE PIECES DON'T FIT. IT WALKS LIKE A COVER-UP AND TALKS LIKE A COVER-UP.

[hacker]

They're going to leave those people out there just to hide their dirty laundry.

[ What she wants to do more than anything is to get out there, find a way to track the ship down, bring them in and get answers. But here's the thing: Skye's too recently out of the Matrix to do much of anything. She's not the able-bodied agent she once was. She's weak and lacks resources. But Tony doesn't. ]

So let's talk to Erebus and figure out what we can do to help bring those crews back. Who runs Erebus?

MY INBOX SYSTEM BETRAYED ME!! FEEL FREE TO FADE/DISREGARD

CAPTAIN WARLEN

LOOKS LIKE THE TWO FUNCTIONAL CREWMEMBERS SHIPPED OUT OF ZION THE OTHER DAY. BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THERE WILL BE MORE OPPORTUNITIES. IT'S A MATTER OF RECOGNIZING THEM.

IT'S OKAY I LOVE YOU STILL but that brings me to ask are you waitin on me in the log bc i assumed no

[hacker]

Well as it so happens Im an opportunity expert. I'll ask around see if the Erebus crew talked to anybody about it.

[servomotor]
