Early day 48
FROM: tess@cdc.org
Got a question for you.
no subject
And I may have answers.
no subject
Here's hoping.
FROM: tess@cdc.org
A few of us found something while digging. Warriorhead told us it was important and we had to keep it safe.
[They hadn't done a stellar job so far, as it turns out]
FROM: tess@cdc.org
But we don't have a damn clue what it is or what it does. You seemed like you had your ear to the ground, so I was wondering if you had any clue.
FROM: tess@cdc.org
It's a rock with some sort of numbers on it, if that helps any.
no subject
I can't say I've heard anything of it, but I can worm an answer out of Warriorhead if I try hard enough.
FROM: devan.isha@cdc.org
Are you SURE it's only a rock? It may be something native to this planet, something of value from here and worth some research.
[Though Warriorhead's interest is something of note. They're recon, not research of the scientific sort.]
FROM: devan.isha@cdc.org
If Warriorhead says it's important, then you better damn well keep out of anyone else's hands, especially any other team.
no subject
I don't think it's just a rock at all. Warriorhead knew what it was, even if he wasn't very helpful about it.
FROM: tess@cdc.org
He didn't say it had to be kept secret, either. Which is good since that Vriska kid already knows about it.
FROM: tess@cdc.org
Don't ask, long story.
FROM: tess@cdc.org
I think we've got the protection aspect covered, I just want to know if anyone else knows what it is. You seem like the kind of lady whose got connections.
no subject
And what does Vriska have to do with the rock? Did she find it?
FROM: devan.isha@cdc.org
Connected I may be, but I haven't heard of any codes on rocks. Likely it's some technology or something belonging to the Shai.
no subject
I told you it was a long story. Noh-Varr had it, he died, she was the only person likely to know where it was.
FROM: tess@cdc.org
We got it back.
FROM: tess@cdc.org
I didn't think they had much to do with technology. Anyway, I can't say I'm surprised you don't know, none of the rest of us did either.
FROM: tess@cdc.org
I was thinking you might be able to find someone who did? You know who around here's got brains.
no subject
FROM: devan.isha@cdc.org
If I can look at it, I may be able to find someone who could know something about it.
[Now that Noh-Varr is gone, well, she can't quite consult him.]
FROM: devan.isha@cdc.org
I've some contacts in the other teams, but I'll take the question to someone in Orange first. He may know others just as well as I do.
timeskip!!
Ask whoever you got to. I'll take the heat if it blows up in our faces.
FROM: tess@cdc.org
I don't have it right now, but I will in a couple of days. I'd be happy to let you take a look. I'll contact you then.
[Fortunately (and unfortunately) the problem gets solved a bit early- and about midway through day 48 Tess sends another message.]
FROM: tess@cdc.org
Scratch that.

FROM: tess@cdc.org
This is a copy of the marks. It might help you find someone who can identify the thing.
no subject
FROM: devan.isha@cdc.org
Don't be disappointed if I find nothing but speculation. If you found it here, chances are, it's from here.
FROM: devan.isha@cdc.org
The best I may be able to get is someone to recognize something similar from their world, but nothing concrete if Warriorhead gave no explanations for it.
no subject
That's fair. Hopefully if it is from here someone's seen something like it before. Either way, thanks for the help.
no subject
What are teammates for?
no subject
Don't you mean family?
[way 2 be sassy tess]
no subject
FROM: devan.isha@cdc.org
Then that makes me the older sister of the two of us since I've been here longer and I'm not quite sure you'd want that burden.
no subject
Well you know what they say. You don't get to pick your family.
no subject
Oh I wouldn't know about that I grew up alone with my father.
no subject
I think it's a metaphor.
no subject
Ah, yes, those pesky things I like to poke holes in. Welcome to the family, love.
no subject
Thanks.
[She's probably being sarcastic.]
