"This is the audio log of Communications Officer Doug Eiffel of the-- previously of the U.S.S Hephaestus, leave a message and I'll see if I can bear to drag myself away from whatever utterly engaging task I must be doing to not notice my comms--"

I have good news for Allan and better news for you.

I dunno, it's gonna be hard to beat Allan's hype when he gets that ball rolling. Hit me doc, what's the verdict?

Ken has graduated. Admittedly, that is more good news for Allan. But I do not think Allan will care that this now means I have my deal: to destroy any trace of Decima virus.

But just because you no longer have virus in your system does not mean you are allowed to get into trouble again.

He- w-wait, you-- hold on--

[Wait a goddamn second Hilbert that is a lot of news for Eiffel to process all in one sitting.]

[Okay! Remove the communicator from your ear in three, two...]

Holy crap, Hilbert!! Jesus Christ, I could kiss you, good job!

[ His poor, suffering ears. ]

Inside voice, please. And if you kiss me, will immediately re-infect you.

No you won't 'cos you've grown as a goddamn person!

[He's fucking stoked Hilbert, you did this!!

But also he does calm down a little, but the cheer is still intensely obvious in his voice.]

So, what's the plan now, doc? You're not sticking around for round two, are you?

That is correct. I will stick around for week or two, simply to wrap up loose ends, but then I plan to return home.

As far as I am concerned, Goddard Futuristics needs to pay for using my work the way they did. I want to be one to bring them down.

Give 'em hell, Doc. Maybe I'll see you there when I go back after Allan. I think I'm gonna have some help in giving Pryce and Cutter a good old Long live the king off the goddamn ship.

Certain we will see each other at some point. Pryce and Cutter are evil and power-hungry enough that it would not surprise me if they had half-designed plans for transdimentional travel somewhere in Goddard vaults. And I am smart enough to make it work.

[Well it's certainly not certain.]

You sure are. Hey, maybe I can get some blueprints or transmission frequencies from the Engine Room later on, give you some shortcuts to catch up with us.

[ look, Hilbert didn't have to get rid of his horrific ego to graduate. ]

Greatly appreciate that.

[ A moment's pause before, ]

I do have one selfish request before I leave. Your room has gravity switch, correct?

[Hilbert will be able to hear Eiffel's widening smile.]

Ten-four, Hilbert. Who needs to know?

Just me. It will be hard to take down Goddard from Hephaestus. And...I will miss outer space.

[ you don't do an ungodly amount of tours of duty if you hate space. ]

Would like to float. Just for little bit. One last time.

[...Hilbert that is adorably sentimental. It's gonna make Eiffel melancholy.]

Sure thing, Hilbert. Want me to leave my room unlocked, let you have some alone time? You can just close up behind you when you're ready.

Would greatly appreciate that. Thank you, Eiffel.
