Hello, you've reached Rey. I'm not here right now, but if you leave a message, I will try to get back to you.

Thanks.

How are you doing, Rey? Hospital staff said you checked out some time ago and hadn't returned.

[talentedscavenger]

I'm well, thank you.

Yes, I checked out not too long ago, and I know they wanted a follow up visit. I haven't had made time for it.

[peacemongering]

That pleases me to hear.

If you are feeling well enough, perhaps a follow up visit is unnecessary. That is, of course, up to you.

[talentedscavenger]

I may go in, just to get them to stop calling me, and sending messages.

How are you, Alexander?

[peacemongering]

That would be annoying to be hounded. I'm certain they are only looking out for you. Everyone needs that, right?

I am well, thank you for asking. Busy getting the labs up and running to their full potential.

[talentedscavenger]

There is a fine line between being hounded and being kind or caring. I think after the third message, they crossed the line.

Labs? I didn't know you were a scientist.

[peacemongering]

I agree with you there. But at least your roommates and friends didn't contract the flu that you did?

I'm not, though I do understand some of the lingo. I'm a businessman, so I was put in charge of running the labs.

[talentedscavenger]

No, they didn't contact it. Not when I last saw them.

A businessman running a lab? Forgive me, but that does sound a bit strange. What research are you conducting?

[peacemongering]

Last saw them? You've moved out?

My side of it is acquiring contracts, but the lab supports biomedical, mechanical and health research. I'm hoping to find grants and funding a mental health division.

[talentedscavenger]

Yes, a studio apartment.

I see...sounds similar to what Cisco does, though his research is to help benefit those in the 'First Responders' unit, paramedics, officers, fire fighters and the like.

[peacemongering]

I had been given the impression when we first met that you were quite happy with your living arrangement.

His research is extremely necessary, especially given the times we live in. However, I don't feel Prometheus should be limited to a single group of people; I want everyone to benefit.

[talentedscavenger]

Sometimes...things changed.

It sounds interesting. Perhaps you should look into parting with Cisco, he is a very brilliant young man. Or, look into building other relationships with some of the others here. A lot of very brilliant people here.

[peacemongering]

Of course. While this may be overstepping bounds, but would you like someone to talk to? I'm about to make dinner, and it's terrible to eat alone.

Once the lab is up and running, I fully intend to extend the olive branch. We are all in this together, and we will all benefit from working together.

[talentedscavenger]

Yes, you would be overstepping your bounds. I am willing to talk about anything, except that. If you want company....I suppose I could visit you. Return the favor.

Still, wouldn't hurt to get the assistance of other people. I know a few who might be interested--Tony Stark, have you met him? Very brilliant man with armor and a robot.

[peacemongering]

Very well, I won't mention it again. If you're uncomfortable with the idea, I won't be offended if you refuse.

His reputation is well known in this place, yes. He also has the social range of a tablespoon half full of bourbon.

[talentedscavenger]

I'm not uncomfortable with the idea, but I don't want to talk about an argument I've had with my friends.

But I am still willing to have dinner with you, if you want.

I see you two know each other well. He seemed nice, we've spoken a few times about science and technology.

[peacemongering]

That is your prerogative, and no one benefits from discussing certain matters, of course.

I will apologize in advance for you having to endure my cooking. It's been some time, but old skills are worth investing in.

We know of each other, but there is no particular personal experience. I knew his father better.

[talentedscavenger]

No need to apologize. I'm sure your cooking is fine. Better than surviving off of what I had to back on Jakku.

Oh...I didn't know. He doesn't talk about his family, but it's never come up before.

In any case, what time would you like me over?

[peacemongering]

It hasn't killed me yet, which would likely make my wife proud. I used to be quite good at it, but alas, I grew too busy at times to partake in the activity.

No, I can't imagine that he would.

I believe that dinner should be ready at seven. Is that alright?

[talentedscavenger]

I'm still learning to cook a decent meal, if that helps.

That works out just fine. If you could send me your address, I would appreciate it.

[peacemongering]

Spices and flavors make the meal. That at least I know, even if the amounts can vary when I try.

[Insert communal floor and kitchen area.] What do you like to drink with your meal? Milk?

[talentedscavenger]

Indeed they do, but at least you add them. I'm still figuring that part out.

No, thank you. Water will be fine.

I'll see you at 7.

[peacemongering]

See you at 7.
