[Deep breaths. This is fine. This is all going to be fine. They can do this.]

[But if he broadens the search pool, the better the chances of this working out. As much as he hates to think about what he'd learned, as much as he wants to pretend it's all okay...]

[His voice is steady as ever, over the TAB. Despite the late hour.]

I'm looking for someone good with data extraction and compilation. Especially someone who can do that for alien or unfamiliar tech.

Maybe even translating unknown languages. I can't say for sure.

I'll take any help you can offer.

Remind me to tell Lucio you need his amp thing.

For sleep reasons.

Oh don't lecture me on sleep Mr. Pot o' Coffee.

So, what are you working on?

I'm older, I'm allowed.

I literally told you already.

By like...a year! Maybe less!

Actually...I don't even know what month it is. I may already be twenty five and I didn't even know it.

I don't get how data extraction correlates to combat.

... You know, I don't either. We could both be older.

[Unless it's not leap year in space. Then he's just screwed either way -- unless he pretends it's a different date, whoops.]

Seriously?

Hand-to-hand?

When's your birthday?

...If this is one of your dumb jokes, it's going way over my head.

It's a date that doesn't exist.

... [He lifts his hand. Waves it at Darin. Hi.]

That makes even less sense.

[He blinks at the hand.]

Oh. OOOOOOH. Yeah, I get it now.

What do you need data pulled for?

Yeah, I know.

... there's passcodes, apparently. The others mentioned it.

Passcodes? For what exactly?

For... for Galra security.

[It's true, at least. Even if the details are a little fudged.]

Galra? You mean those guys you're at war with?

None of them showed up, did they? Did you find something??

Yeah, I do.

None of them showed up here, but... some of the others told me they've put some kind of information in the arm.

Oh...that's gotta come in handy the--...

Oh gods dammit.

[Just. This face.]

So...wait, what good would the passcodes do you now if there's no Galra around?

If I have them when I get back, then... it'll save us a lot of trouble.

And if there's other things there, too, the team is going to need it.

Well, I can't say I think it's a bad plan. I mean, might as well make most of the downtime while you can, right?

If I come across anyone that can be trusted with that kind of stuff, I'll more than happily let you know. I'd offer but...data extraction is way out of my league.

Now, if you wanted me to look into making adjustments to the arm or strengthening it? I can probably help you.

I have a few leads. But thanks -- thanks for keeping me in mind.

[Then he shakes his head, hand automatically gripping his wrist.]

No. That's... no. I don't want to do anything to it. It's already enough.

...You alright?

You know me and the arm. It's just... I don't want to alter it.

It's bad enough.

I know. But, come to think of it?

This is the first time you've actually wanted to prod it. Delve into it.

What brought it on? I mean, if there's passcodes in there, obviously they came to light already. What's the sense of getting them now?

Lance told me there was data in there they needed. If I can take it back with me, then I can save all of them a lot of trouble.

[Darin idly taps his chin. Something still didn't sit right with him. Let's go over what he knows so far:]

[Shiro really wants nothing to do with his prosthetic arm for obvious reasons. However, now there's something that he needs. Something that will save his team a lot of trouble if they get it now.]

[But if that's the case, and Lance informed Shiro about it in the first place, then whatever info his arm has would have already come to light.]

[Then there's the late night request. Shiro already hardly slept, but sending something like this out this late? Didn't seem like him. Without meaning, he made this seem almost...urgent.]

[But that makes even less sense. If they're displaced by time, where would the urgency even be?]

[He huffs. Something wasn't adding up but he was probably too far out of the loop to really piece it together.]

Well...I guess I can't argue with that.

Nope.

Hard to, with logic like this, huh?
