Ayep.

Let me know if you need anything from me.

Do you have any bright ideas for how to hack Dragon while not letting her kill me?

Do it on vacation somewhere we'd see drones coming, with a non-networked computer? 

If it's not networked I can't really grab her code to begin with and I'm pretty sure I can't shoot down her drones. My hardware is serviceable, that's all.

Then I don't have any good ideas.

I guess I could have Dad standing by and teleporting me all the time.

Would he do that? If Dragon is Official Authority?

I hope I didn't give you the impression that my dad is some kind of mindless limb of the gubmint.

He was going to let them execute you earlier, if the tests had gone badly!

Uh, no he wasn't, I'm sure he would have tried to interfere.

If he can teleport how would he have failed to interfere?

He can't control distance. He's good at "away" but much worse at "towards". He wasn't with me when they started testing.

Ah, okay. Well, if he'll help I'm all for it.

It'd take some explaining.

Are we going to have more information in a week or a month or a year?

If she keeps hinting at me maybe? I don't know.

If she keeps hinting at you she's also increasing her credence that you know, which might be a problem.

She will probably notice when I hack her. Know any, uh, software Strangers?

I could necklace it given a few years but necklaces don't even cooperate with you.

Rrgh.

Yeah. Sorry.

I'm sure I could do it if I could get at her code I'm just not sure I can do it if I'm under fire and I'm not sure I can get at the code in the first place!

Do it during an Endbringer attack?

Ooh.
