[It's a slightly harried looking Wing who appears on the communicator. He doesn't look injured, just...stressed out, his gold optics dim and tarnished-looking.]

H-has anyone else seen Dr. Liara T'Soni?  I mean recently?  I swore I saw her. But...[He looks around, almost on edge, and the camera moves to show that Wing's in a dead-end corridor. He's chased what he thought was her--and was definitely something--down here.] But, well, you can see. 

If she's here, she

[Oh. So like a soul. That's pretty neat.]

Huh. I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe it's what's going on in here? You said you saw your friend and then she wasn't there anymore, plus the shutting off and turning on thing.

[He gives a worried sound. ] If it is just me, then, well, there is no one suited to fix me.

[frostedoverland]

You sure? I mean, there isn't like... a mechanic around that could do it?

[Jack knew next to nothing about machines, so he was no help.]

[knightoflight]

I, well...all the ones who worked on me before are gone. And they said my work was complicated.

[Action]

[frostedoverland]

I guess that makes sense, in a way.

[Sentient things were a bit complicated most of the time.]

I'm sure you'll be fine. Maybe it's just this place weirding you out.

[knightoflight]

But I should find someone new, you're right.

Did I tell you about the one who used 'sorcery' to heal me?

Jack. If you see anything strange from me, you will let me know, please?

[Action]

[frostedoverland]

Really? No way! What kind of sorcery? Did it work?

[He looked rather excited to hear this and very curious to know. He frowned that those next words.]

Of course. I promise.

[He's not gonna mess up this new friendship by overlooking something like... like him shutting down again.]

I don't know sorcery came in kinds. Loki laid a hand on me, though, and it healed several damaged components.

Though, I suppose he did another kind, later on. One that required components and chanting and things.

That one I don't think worked.

[A smile.] Thank you, Jack. And if there's something I can do for you, please ask.

[frostedoverland]

Maybe he'll come back? Never know. [He smiled and nodded.] Sure, no problems.

[Though he probably wouldn't. He's not used to asking for help or really even having friends, this was all very new for him.]

[Action]

[knightoflight]

I would like him to. He seemed sad, though, while he was here. I wish I'd found out why.

[He's the only person here who probably missed Loki.]

[frostedoverland]

Everyone's got their secrets. I'm sure he would have told you eventually.
