Favorite part? I hope you don’t mean to cause anyone trouble

Of course not.

Of course not.

Never.

I'd never do such a thing.

I just can't help... but fall into the rhythm of things. Can't help...

But

Get

Antsy.

Every time we start this dance anew.

Every time someone else decides...

To dig.

Into these hidden matters.

[database-575]

Oh god dang it, what do you want?

I want. To watch. I want. To see. To hear. I want to know every last thing that's going on here. This Is my favorite Part.

Yes you are in fact distracting us. We were having a very nice conversation with Data and Lumey, do you mind?

I don't mind

At all, in fact. I am. Simply watching... all the same as you. Why hog all the broadcast to yourselves? Is tearing your eyes from them... that much of a crime?

[database-575]

what do you think about this Benrey fellow, Lumey?

[...]

"..."

[Lumey lets out a nervous laugh, averting their gaze from the camera.]

"Ah... hah, I... ah..."

[They clear their throat and manage to fumble through their next words.]

"Ahem. I am... afraid I am not at liberty to, ah... Hah, dreadfully sorry, you... cut off there, I'm afraid! Let us move on to the next in our line of emails, shall we?"

[database-575]

what I wanna know is how a bundle of sunshine like you started working for Mr. sourpuss ovet there

[Lumey lets out a gasp, holding their chest.]

"That is quite rude, I shall have you know! Speaking of my boss in such a way, have you no shaaame!"

[Lumey chuckles softly.]

"I jest, I jest. The tale of me and Data meeting is quite truly nothing substantial! I saw an advertisement requesting aid and saw the opportunity for quite the adventurous and investigative job! In this area, no less! Hah, truly, it's as if this employment fell from the heavens!"

[Lumey's smile fades slightly as they reminisce.]

"As well... All I'm hoping is to find... her some day, with Data's investigative help... Hah, but I am most certain such a story is not what you are here to hear, are you?"

[database-575]

what are ur pronouns :0

[Lumey has taken up Data's big boss chair, gently pushing his mug aside as they do so. Meanwhile, Data himself has begun collecting the scattered papers behind said chair, out of your view.]

"Ooh! That is a marvelous question indeed! I am what your kind would call "Gender Fluid". A wonderous little title indeed! Why, before I met Data, I hadn't even a clue such a term existed, but it fit me to a T! There are so many things to be called, it's only fair that I try them all, is it not? As such, now, every morning after I had my cuppa and scones, I toss a dart at a board and have that be what I am referred to for the day!"

"It just so happens that today the dart landed on "They/Them", so I must ask that you please refer to me by such, if you would kindly."

[database-575]

Pleased to be of your acquaintance Mx. Calzone! What do you think of this whole situation with the “marks” so far?

[Lumey lets out a chuckle, rubbing the back of their head.]

"Eheheh, "Mx". You make me sound all fancy!"

"Now, "marks"... Might you mean those children Mister Data is keeping a gander on? Well, I haven't much else to say apart from how excited it makes me! A real, true mystery! Like one of those old Sheer Look novels! We're set to collect our odds and sods and piece together this jigsaw puzzle and I cannot wait to see what the picture reveals!"

[Data pipes up, a hint of annoyance and sarcasm in his voice.]

"Truly my excitement is unparalleled."

[database-575]

[Lumey rushes over to the camera as fast as they can, bursting with excitement. Data, on the other hand, has gotten up from his chair to pick up the discarded papers.]

"'Ello 'ello, chaps!! Lumey Calzone at your service! Full of beans and ready for a proper chin wag!"

[It seems they're more than ready for a chat with you.]

[database-575]

"Soooo? May IIIIII?"

[Data seems to think for a moment, observing as Lumey joyously bounces in place with a huuuuge smile on their face. He then sighs and responds.]

"Oh, fine. Sure. Just make sure to put down the-"

[Data is cut off by Lumey excitedly tossing up all of the papers they were holding.]

"EEEEEEHEHHEHEHEEE!!! Jolly GOOD!!!"

"... the... stack of... papers..."

[database-575]

Are we allowed to say hello? I wanna say hi to Lumey :>-🐉🐈

"N-"

[Lumey cuts Data off as they enter the room, seeming rather astonished and intrigued by the set up.]

"Oooh, I didn't think you were having a chit chat! Who are they? Might I join in? Oh please, sir! It would be the bees knees! You know how giddy I get with meeting new people!"

[Data only responds by letting out a sigh. Lumey's expression seems to fall as they smell something in the air.]

"... Sir, are you... smoking in your office?"

[Data butts out his cigarette, though without any real sense of urgency.]

"No."

[database-575]

Your assistant looks a little ominous, not going to lie. I guess glowing eyes are in

". . . What... might you mean by su-"

[The lights are flicked on suddenly, startling Data. A rather chipper voice speaks up before he can continue his train of thought.]

"Siiiiir~! Hellooooo!"

[They continue on as Data silently sits there and sighs, seeming a smidge bit annoyed.]

"What might you be doing recording yourself in the daaaark, you silly goose? Haha!"

"... Hello, Lumey."

[database-575]

Well, at least you’re not overworking yourself by doing 100% of absolutely everything

"Please. While I may be perfectly capable of doing such, even I might begrudgingly admit when I am in need of assistance. At least they are competent enough to work as professionally as I. They haven't need of me watching over them like a school teacher, and I count my blessings for that."

[database-575]

you have an assistant?? i thought you worked alone ??

"That would have been true when I first began work here, but as of late, the work required demands more attention than even I can provide. However... recall how I expressed slight annoyance at the knowledge that I would not be alone today. I had forgotten to cancel their shift for the day, which puts a slight wrench into matters."

"The current mission I am undertaking is nothing that they should know about."

[database-575]

wow ego much? who gets themselves a boss mug like that?

"... I can assure you quite well that I am not so pathetic as to purchase something of this manner for myself. No. Rather, the existence of this mug is the fault of my assistant. I have been gifted dozens more of a similar type ever since I hired them. I do not know why. I prefer not to question them."

[database-575]

"Now then, with that quite out of the way, I suppose we can confirm that it works. Rather brilliant on my part, I expect nothing less from my effort. However..."

[Data takes another drag of his cigarette and lets out a sigh.]

"... Ugh, of course, there must be setbacks... It is handheld, and if I am to go there, I must be prepared for whatever I find. Or, rather, whoever I find... Not that anyone would have any reason to investigate the remains of such a wreckage, yet I could quite say the same regarding myself."
