Okay, Patty, I want hard confirmation that the hangar is clear.

And I'm not giving it to you because it's not true yet.

Can we make it true?

I'm about to move a volatile extraterrestrial device for the third time. But the worst part of my

morning was me and Matt closing each other's seals and not being able to tell him

what I'm about to do. And we are clear, Chief. Nobody in the the hangar nobody on the whole floor just me up in

bird's eye and just to triple confirm I'm all Lloyd suit it up and extra

annoyed that it's you doing this crap again when it should be me.

Hopefully nobody will have to do this again for a while. Let's just knock it out.

Okay, holler if you need to and you know while you can't. I could have handed this off to Patty or hell anybody on the team I thought could handle it

but I want Harrison feeling as much sympathy for me as possible when I make my

unreasonable request later.

Okay, so we know this is stupid, but let's get hands on it anyway.

Yeah, got it, good to go.

And pulling pin number one, and all quiet.

So far, the harps unscheduled power-ups have only happened when we actually moved it.

But my IED mindset's going nowhere.

And pulling pin number two.

All good.

Hey Patty, I've got my end and we're ready to move.

Just walk it straight to the mark, don't get cute.

Can't help it.
