@unlockthestars: “ can’t sleep? ” [from Dad-ter Weller]

She hadn't expected to see anyone else at this hour, wandering around the barracks as she was. It was well past lights out, the mess and commissary both shut tight, so it was surprising to bump into Weller out in the hallway.

Cammie's immediate reaction is to use sarcasm to cover up her thoughts, but she's a bit too tired to muster it up. Instead, what comes out is: "...It's too quiet, an' mah mind's just... so loud. I keep runnin' over everythin': missions, Holon specs, code and memories that ain't really mine."

"So, if'n I mind-meld wi' someone, and they've eaten but I ain't had lunch -- do they get hungry or do I get full?"

@unlockthestars​ asked: “ i’m sorry i let you down. ” (from Dr. Weller)

Why is she doing this to herself?

It wasn't really him. It wasn't really Dr. Weller. It might have been, once, or at least it was a segment of him. A piece of a fragment of a moment of time. Caliban is staring back at her expectantly, waiting for some sort of prompting. Just a program waiting for the next input.

"Y' dinnae let anyone down." Why is she doing this to herself? Why does she so desperately need some sort of resolution, some clearing of the air -- it's the sort of thing she could do for herself, building some AI within a computer to answer her questions using provided data. Why was this so hard? She's practically talking to herself. Or Caliban.

"...I mean, sure, we wish you'd told us the truth sooner. 'Bout Chase. 'Bout Nemesis. 'Bout... you. But... we're still here, 'cause of you. You saved a lot of people, doc."

@unlockthestars​ ( for Rufus Weller ) // ❤

When the lock on the pods release with a quiet hiss, Cammie makes no move to get up -- simply listening as everyone else climbs to their feet, starting down the hallway. Chase, mixing in to chat with Migas while Yasamin trails after the pair. Valentina and Kazu talking quietly amongst themselves about how they'd like to get away from base for an evening. Soon, their voices disappear into the elevator, leaving Cammie alone with the soft beeping of computers monitoring their vitals, Caliban's quiet whirring, and... Dr. Weller.

"Ain't dead, if yer worrying." Of course, the steady beat on the computer monitoring her heartrate no doubt gave that much away.
