"Sure. A lot of preparations are going to look like rubble cleanup, though, 'cause we do not want the fucker to have anything to hide in."

"Well presumably he cannot hide from the resident psychics. ...might want to get the plants here sooner rather than later, though, they have better range and attention span."

"... Yeah. If the people here agree, anyway." She thunks her head into the steering wheel; she's tired again, and she doesn't like it. "And if not then... we try to be as fair to them as we can?"

"Yeah. ... You okay, over there?"

"I feel like I need a nap and it's awful," she grumbles, unhappily. "I don't know if it's the distance from Nai causing everything to catch up with me or that I will just literally collapse without him around, or what."

"I will glue my brother to you if that's what's necessary. You're not falling apart on me."

He's doing the psychic equivalent of hovering.

"I know, I know, and agreed. I'm communicating what's going on with me, I'll be good."

"I just... don't know if this is normal tiredness I can sleep off or if it's alarming and means I need to get back to Nai right this instant."

"Has the fatigue been ongoing, or did it just start? Is any sleep debt catching up to you?"

"It's been a recent development. That and an insane appetite. And, probably, yeah?"

"No coughing up of any blood, nosebleeds, shortness of breath, soreness in your muscles and bones, achey joints and the like?"

".... uh, no."

"Then I think you're fine. I looked at the specs, from what I could understand, you're basically like me but with, like. I dunno, extra plant cheatiness on top? And I think you stopped cheating and it's catching up to you."

"So... you expect this could hurt her if she spent long enough away from Nai, if she starts getting those symptoms?"

Also, to Yvette specifically: those sure were rather specific symptoms.

"Yeah. The real question is if she resets after she goes and cuddles your brother again, or if she's got a set amount of time to burn and then that's it, stuck with cuddles forever. Doctor Asshole didn't know which it'd be, for you. Either way there's no way to know without, you know. Checking."

Yes, those sure were some very specific symptoms, weren't they. ... Yvette can't help but notice that Morgan habitually wears a red scarf. She'd thought it was for dust and stuff, but...

"Discount plant hybridisation. I guess Nai did in fact not let him do better research and jumped on it but I'm still bummed."

[she'd probably not take it well if I asked her to go into cryo until we found a way to not let her die would she]

[Do we even have access to a cryo chamber??? I’d ask either way because if she dies she’s gone forever but you’re the one that’s better with people.]

“…. Kinda dickish to complain about how your girlfriend’s better version of superpowers aren't up to your standards right to me,” says Morgan, making a face. “Also, I know you two are having a psychic conversation right now, so can you knock it off and just talk to me? You’re making all kinds of faces and I can guess what it’s about.”

Okay if they're going to be having this conversation then she will be getting out of the car for it. Here she is, out of the car. Since she's out of the car she will take the opportunity to hold Zash's hand, how about. “We wanted to see if you’d be willing to go into cryo if that were… at all viable.”

"Ha! Someone hasn't been doing their reading, have they. Bad nerd, for not doing your homework. No, pretty sure trying to freeze me would just kill me, my cells aren't the ones the cryo pods are used to dealing with."

"...how. Long. Do you think you have?"

"What, in timespan? Fuck if I know. Long enough to make sure to take one other blue haired experiment of science with me, though."

"... That sounds like it's not very long, though," murmurs Yvette, softly.

"Yeah it's not, I survived as long as I did because I mostly didn't get shot. Bad for my health even if I walk away after."
