Tread water.

You got tested for the bug thingy that all the psis are getting tested for. I got blood drawn too, since you and I fall into that weird 'mental non-psi mutation' category.

Will have Servbot down in about 5 min with a 24 pack.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Forge? Is Doug implying that he did not notice getting his blood drawn for a test?

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Sounds like it. He's been in the zone lately. We're almost at the breakthrough point, and he's doing awesome.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

When is the last time Doug has slept?

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Last night.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Did you sleep, or did you get up and work more after pretending to go to bed?

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Both.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I thought so.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Ask what mean.

Prec. v. impt.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Doug, that does not make any sense.

I never thought I would have to ask this, but could someone translate whatever Doug is speaking into a language that *I* speak please?

[x-mactaggart.livejournal.com]

...Precog, perhaps? vs. ...I am not sure what the other word is supposed to be.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Important. Maybe?

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

Precision very important?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Which would make his comment a bit hypocritical, would it not?

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

Well, to be fair, that was precise. Just dense to the point of being obscure.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Precision very important.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Why does everyone speak Fluent Doug except me?

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

I could make a joke about doing things other than talking, but on second thought no.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

James Arthur, I know where you sleep.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Thus the second thought!

And you don't get to two-name me. Not in your jurisdiction.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I get to two-name anyone. I have -four- that can be used on me.

... I wonder if codenames count in lists like that? Does the Professor ever four-name Mr. Summers by using his first, middle and last name, and his codename?

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Oh, like that's an excuse.

And I dunno, I think it would sound kinda silly.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I imagine that Scott what is his middle name? Cyclops Summers would be a little bit of a tongue twister.

The rest of us are not much better. Can you say, for example, since we are on the subject of scolding him, Douglas Aaron Lexicon Ramsey without snickering?

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Snickering on the outside, or snickering on the inside?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Both?

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

I can stop myself from snickering on the outside if I put my mind to it. I don't think I could not snicker on the inside though.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

I've been dealing with this since he got down here. At least this one was all in English. There was a day in the middle where everything he sent me was in the AI's programming language.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

... I thought his quiet when Jamie and I were coming down to make sure that all of you ate and slept was because he was -tired-.

Oh dear. This is not at all good.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

He's ok. Or, he will be. Really, breaking his concentration is not a good idea, please. I can not do this on my own.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I am not at all going to bother Doug. I know what is on the line here.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Thanks. We really are almost done, I think.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Party when you finish? We throw all you geniuses some kind of giant Genius Day bash?

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Kay.

Doug!

[x-mactaggart.livejournal.com]

Oh for the love of God, do I need to knock you out? I do have access to a tranq gun. I swear, by the end of this we're going to have more people in the MedLab than out of it.

Re: Doug!

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Am FINE.

Re: Doug!

[x-mactaggart.livejournal.com]

You snapping at a teacher is a sure indication that you're just peachy, lad.

Re: Doug!

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Not snapping. Succinct.

Re: Doug!

[x-mactaggart.livejournal.com]

I think I probably need to make the Genisus rounds and check on you lot in the Labs. Probably should have done that yesterday.

Re: Doug!

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

If at all possible, can it wait until this next iteration of code runs on the servers? If I understand what Doug's doing - and I suddenly had an epiphany as to why I understand perfectly what Doug's doing - we're at a breakthrough point here.

Give him time - we need to push this just a little further.

Re: Doug!

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, am watching him. He is getting food and water, not just caffine, and sleep when his brain will let him. Will give you copies of our AIM and email logs when this is over if you want, but we are so close, and I think if you break him out of his deep concentration he may not get back there in time. I can't do this on my own.

Re: Doug!

[x-mactaggart.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll hold off on the rounds until later. The last thing I want, though, is any of you taking yourselves down for the count right now.

Re: Doug!

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

I've been doing regular food-and-remember-there's-an-outside-world runs since they've been down there, too.
