Warnings: more discussion about the future-predicting tablet!

Hey guys.

Quick question about the wax tablet everyone's going to visit to get their fortunes told.

What kinds of things has it predicted? What have you read, what day did you visit? If you've been multiple times, I'd like to know about all of them.

Thanks.

I kind of
Mostly
Haven't decided yet
I want to get an idea on if this is like a code red situation or more like an orange or a yellow
I'm open to suggestions

[abrightboy]

For getting rid of it?

[stations]

Yeah, exactly
Otherwise we're going to have to resort to Operation Jerry, which I really don't like to use as plan A

[abrightboy]

Do you know what he was building a stink bomb for?

[stations]

Yeah, that was to disrupt the whole Things of Beauty phone case supply chain, with the creepy lambs
I really, really don't want him pulling that out again for this
I JUST figured out how to get like an hour of sleep every other night, but if he comes in with that smell again...

[abrightboy]

Do you two... live together?

[Yes, he's wondering if Jerry is your boyfriend.]

[stations]

Yeah, of course
Jerry's my best friend, we're from the same place

( best friend. boyfriend. the difference is pretty small...

except that jack wouldn't know romance if someone spray-painted it on a mac truck and hit him with it. )

[abrightboy]

That's lucky. That you both ended up here.

[stations]

Lucky's definitely one word for it
Our lives are kind of weird, we usually wind up going through stuff like this together
But I'm really glad he's here, I'd be screwed without him

[abrightboy]

A friend of mine from home is here too. My mentor.

[stations]

That's awesome. What's his name? Or, her name, I guess? Their name?

[abrightboy]

Gil Arroyo. He's a lieutenant with NYPD's Major Crimes unit.

[stations]

He wouldn't happen to know the legal consequences of getting caught breaking into a museum and stealing or destroying a tablet, would he?

Asking for a friend.

[abrightboy]

Around here, he works for the ADI, so if it's to save the world... I would think you're just doing your job. Though he is against stealing in general.

[stations]

I can work with that
Destroying it is

[abrightboy]

It’s probably dangerous to possess it but… stealing might be the first step to destruction if we want to avoid anyone getting hurt.

[stations]

Do you think calling it into
I don't know, maybe like some director or something at ADI will make them come pick it up? They're interested in this kind of stuff, right? Do they do that?

[abrightboy]

Don’t they send US to do that?
