[ So here's Bucky, with his pale face and dark hair, treating this thing like it's a walkie-talkie and not a laptop. ]

Awhile back— it must've been months ago— someone told me the UE was mixing up people's minds. Erasing them. Filling them up with lies and propaganda.

The person who told me that is gone, now. A lot of people are gone now. So I wanna know if anyone else had intel on this.

[ He pauses, and presses his lips together. He looks like he's gonna say something for a while, before he says it. ]

Yeah, if you need to know, I want to stop 'em. [ He smiles when he says that last bit, white as something out of the reels. ]

She supposes she must relent on this.]

A start, then.

We have to make one, somewhere.

[anklets]

..And what are you going to do if you can't get the information you need from those who are still here?

voice

[kneecaptain]

Get it from somewhere else, I guess.

voice

[anklets]

The natives? Or the UE themselves?

voice

[kneecaptain]

Wherever I hafta go.

There's a lot of exiles here, right? Not all of 'em are wired in to the Initiative.

[anklets]

[ oh ]

But they might know something.

voice

[kneecaptain]

Right. Exactly.

[Her reply is prompt, keen.]

I can help with that.

voice

[kneecaptain]

That's—

That's good.

[anklets]

It sounded like you were surprised, just now.

[kneecaptain]

I've been doing things alone, for a while.

[anklets]

You shouldn't have had to, with so many people here.

[kneecaptain]

Yeah. But I'm stupid.

I didn't think you were.

[kneecaptain]

Heh. [ Nervous laughter. ]

Yeah, nevermind.
