Mystery messages

[Tom and Crow appear on the Cambot together...seems like they're pretty excited about something.]

Crow: Hey! Hey! You see that guy in Dr. F's transmission? It looked just like Joel!

Tom: Kinda sounded just like him, too!

Crow: Waaaaait...does that mean Joel's a Mad now, too?

Tom: Well, maybe it is! Always knew there was something weird about that guy!

Crow: I thought it was his eyelids, personally.

Tom: No, those were just abnormally large.

Crow: That'd still count as weird, don't you think?

Tom: Yes, but the question is, is that mad scientist weird?

Crow: I dunno...guess we'd have to ask a mad scientist!

Tom: Rrrrrright!
...So what were we talking about, again?

[Yep, that one kid, who's actually not a kid, but let's not get into the genetic manipulation scheme yet.]

These guys are being no help at all - do you have any idea what that guy was trying to say to us?

[itsjustamike]

[Mike looks sheepish.] Ah, sorry, no...I only talked to the guy briefly once before. But if he's getting funds going, must be needing to put together something expensive...

[icanhastail]

[Well at least that's a better answer than he's getting from either of the robots. Zidane can't help a groan, but he's not going to blame Mike for this.]

If you get any ideas, think you can tell us? The freak show downstairs isn't exactly forthcoming, if you catch my drift.

[itsjustamike]

[That's good, because it's very easy to blame Mike for things.]

I'll think on it...hopefully somethin' or other will come up!

Yeah, I don't think the 'bots were ever programmed to be helpful and serious.

[icanhastail]

Gee, you think? [Just dripping with sarcasm, that one.] I just hope it comes up sooner rather than later, there's people waiting for me at home. Probably for all of us, too.

[itsjustamike]

[He sighs.] Yup, same here. Well...people I miss, anyway.

[icanhastail]

See? There you go. We've all got reasons to get home, so if anything anyone knows can help - including the guy who obviously got out of here somehow - then we're gonna put it to use.
