[ PRIVATE to NICK FURY and BOBBI MORSE ]

Hector Peck might be a dead end. I don't think he's involved at all with Vulcanus or that New Vesuvius city. He's just an editor for a newspaper here and keeps himself busy with that. Nothing out of the ordinary with his schedule or work.

[ /end private ]

[ When Gil speaks up, he sounds as if he's slightly congested. ]

I believe Raven has been ported out. If she had any previous or future engagements to attend to I'm sorry, but I don't think she'll be showing up. I haven't heard from or seen her around the house since before some of us were ported to New Vesuvius.

I'm not sure what to do yet about her belongings. It seems too soon to pack them away somewhere so they aren't lying around the place, doesn't it? A bit rude, too... [ He sighs. It's hard to finish cleaning the place when he's caught in a tiny dilemma like this!! ]

It's always going to be impossible to predict how long before people return. [ A beat. ] If they do.

[ Followed by another pause, as if he may add something to that thought. ]

Ah, never mind.

Then what's the problem?

There isn't one. I was... never mind. I'll start packing her things away.

They're only things, you know. It's the memories that have meaning.

We weren't very close... she was a quiet person. [ First and last experience with roommates for a long time, that's for certain. ]

You aren't exactly loud.

It's not a bad thing...

I prefer the quiet.

Do people really enjoy loud noises? After a while you'd get a headache.

You haven't learned about music here yet, have you.

[ Her voice is rich. It doesn't sound like a question. ]

... I don't listen to much of it, honestly.

Then what do you listen to?

Nothing, really.

[ A verbal shrug. ]

I've gone to the opera with Miss Donna in the past here. It's the closest to the sort of music played back home.

You could try new music, you know.

I wouldn't know where to start.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't.

You know, you work for a dance company.

I never said I wouldn't. And it's just paperwork...

... I don't really like the music they play in those bars. It's too aggressive and it only ever seems to have one beat to it.

You go to bars?

A couple of times when I was invited.

Hmmm.

They don't sound like they were very nice bars.

I wouldn't really know.

Maybe I should take you for an after-work drink.

[ Quickly: ]

I don't drink alcohol.

[ A beat. ]

That is... it's not necessary, although it's very kind of you to offer.

You don't have to go there to drink.

[ Hmmm. Perhaps this will be a Project. ]

I just assumed that you wanted to.

Oh?
