Glam isn't allowed to actually patrol the following day (it's a Sunday), so they mostly browse the 'net and read books. Echo's busy with her family (and she is allowed to go out patrolling), and Lorica's... doing something.
They're slightly worried about the fact that Yates hasn't replied to their email, but it's the weekend, so maybe that's why.
Has she replied to the email by Monday?
Okay, it's... something. They email Lorica asking if she still thinks it's a good idea to come with them, still wants to, and will be available at the time.
Then they email Yates to ask if Lorica's allowed to come. Surprising her will do no good.
A bot lets them in. Lorica is, for a change, reading a book. "Hi Glam."
They shrug. "Not your fault, nothing to be sorry about, and I understand that's not how you meant the word but it relaxes me to say this anyway." Pause. "It doesn't relax me much, mind." They sit on nothing.
"How much do those facial expressions correlate with what your face actually does?"
"A lot. At the moment they're pretty accurate, except for lacking eyebrows and such that might give them more context. And there's the aesthetic of it as well, being clearly very nervous is underlined by the smile I think."
"It's not a detailed enough smile to have a quality like 'nervousness'."
"Exactly, it's the voice and the words. Sort of like typing 'Life is horrible colon right parenthesis' on the internet, you know? The words give the context the rest of the face lacks."
"Sure. Anyway, any last minute brainstorms to present to Yates to avoid having to be two people?"
"Okay, and plan B is two of you and plan C is 'whatever you say Ms Yates'?"
"I'll do my best, but be advised that my best means making my first pass at the pitch as good as I can get it and definitely doesn't look like trying again if that fails."
