[ 'Cracked the code' nabs her attention enough to respond. There's a few seconds of silence after she's through reading all the cells. ]

...Oh!

[ Entrapta smiles as she brings her device in front of her properly. ]

Seems like someone's been doing their network homework too.

[scarcastically]

Of course. I'd hate to be ignorant about shit.

[enginehairing]

[ He gets it! ]

Isn't data helpful? There's so much to go through, which you obviously know, but I'm so glad to know you're using it for answers and information too-

[ A purple digit of hair taps her chin thoughtfully. ]

Do you prefer Jaguar?

[scarcastically]

Erik is fine.

I just don't like being taken off guard.

[enginehairing]

Oh boy do I understand that. [ Oof. ] Preparedness is a scientist's best friend after all. Well, one of the big ones anyway.

[ She stops typing to actually focus on her device. ]

Have you already considered defense mechanisms and technology? Data analysis and statistics are great, but sometimes you just need to make your castle a labyrinth.

[scarcastically]

[ uhh. ]

Sure, if I had a castle. Science has to fit the need.

[enginehairing]

[ Takes her a second before the missing piece clicks into place. She gives a nasally cackle. ]

No, my bad! I mean my castle back on Etheria, but I suppose we can say the domiciles here.

[ A cautionary hair finger. ]

Not the initial unit they designate for us. They don't like major adjustments to the structure. At all. Not to mention other people on your floor.

[scarcastically]

[ huh. ]

What are the consequences?

[enginehairing]

Oh I got a ticket instead of a warning from the Moon Knights due to punitive damages and reckless endangerment, I think.

[ She shrugs. ]

Some Chroma loss, but that can be recovered. But future instances could lead to an arrest. [ Her face suddenly lights up in discovery. ] That may be the only way to inspect their detainment facilities.

[scarcastically]

[ now that is interesting. ]

Have you seen them? Has anyone?
