[ Gaius has sort of rolled out of bed and not paid any attention to the network in the past twelve hours so here, have a completely ignorant Colonial transmitting a message across the network and rubbing his eyes sleepily. ]

Right, so, a million network messages have been marked as read. And I'll barricade the door if there's a disaster on.

I was hoping to talk to someone in the labs, if you've any time.

No disaster. Just...be cautious.

And you know I always have time to talk about the lab.

[tobecaprican]

It seems the constant state of things is 'be cautious'.

Do you ever wake up bored?

Not to invite karmic retribution for saying that word. [ A glance upwards, as if this last bit were directed to the Admiral, and the Admiral were located in the proverbial sky. ]

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

I don't believe in that. But yes. I wake up bored. I try not to stay that way, though.

[tobecaprican]

I do believe in getting frakking scolded for it, and I'm a bit done with that.

I also feel my potential is being wasted in here, to be honest.

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

Nonsense superstition is really all that is.

And, death does tend to put an end to any potential that you had. So if it's being wasted here, it's better than what it would be doing otherwise.

[tobecaprican]

Good to know, then.

[ Pensive sulkiness for the duration of silent hesitation, then; ] That's drearier than you intended it to sound, you know.

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

Oh. Hm, yeah, it was. Sorry.

Have you not been able to find something to do?

[tobecaprican]

I haven't made an earnest go of it, in all fairness, but then again I'm somewhat picky about how I wile away my hours. Being a happy little worker bee won't do anything for me.

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

Happy little worker bee was never my calling either. But I'm sure there's something to do.

[tobecaprican]

I don't suppose there are vacancies in the lab that don't involve fetching the real scientists coffee?

Private

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

If you want to be in there while I am and work on what you want, within reason, I'll assume responsibility.

Private

[tobecaprican]

Really?

[ Visible perk up. ]

That would be very good of you.

Private

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

It's not a problem. Just...well, you're not going to try and blow up the ship, are you?

Private

[tobecaprican]

[ Harsh but quiet bark of laughter, which. Dies pretty fast. Because that isn't even funny. ]

No, no. I don't think that would solve anyone's problems. I anticipate tinkering on the computers, mainly, and I don't think the Barge is run on any kind of network outside of communications.

I should let my Warden know, then.

Private

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

That's fine. [And then a pause. Capa didn't even think about his warden. He tended to forget that his inmate friends even had them.]

Oh, right, yeah. You probably should.

Private

[tobecaprican]

Sarah Connor, is she. She won't have any issue with it.

[ He almost says something like is that awkward,but ultimately decides it doesn't need asking, and talking about inmateness and all that entails is never particularly pleasurable. ]

Cheers, either way.
