You've reached Dr. Hermann Gottlieb. Leave your name, number, and business if you expect a return call. Thank you.

No, I. Well I knew you saw that, but I'd forgotten about that helmet. Rather embarrassing really, but I'd loved it as a child.

[Not answering that]

But ah, yes. Please do try to gauge temperature if possible. I know it must be difficult, but if there's any bit of metal that isn't often touched, it may help to sort out the time of day. I realize it's still rather subjective, but do try.

It's so classically Hermann.


...Did you think I was asking you to... ???
Oh, you kinky bastard. I would kill you. I would fucking kill you, Hermann.


You assume our walls are touching outside, though. My theory is that we're a box within a box. Like so:

------------
|          |
|   ----   |
|   |  |   |
|   |us|   |
|   ----   |
| the base |
----|  |----

No, not.. not seriously of course. Only that you do have a tendency to get carried away.

[Ahem.]

But that is unfortunate if your theory holds true. ..I wonder if the Russians had the forethought to restrict your AI friend from making time references.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Hey, you get carried away, too!

And, you know, Hermann, if I've stumbled on one of your kinks--not that I have, but I mean if I ever do--you can come right out and say it. Right now is a pretty inopportune time to do something about it, but ..I'm accommodating.

I'll see if I can ask Lackey something. Any ideas how to word it?

[mathemagier]

We'll talk more on that when you're safe again.

In regards to the AI.. well I'll leave that in your capable hands for now. I'll let you know if I think of any particular angle to approach from. For now simply try to asses its behavioral algorithm.
