[For a moment she has mild alarm, but remembers: he's mostly machine now, based on her designs and some of his own work that she applied to the process.]
Oh -- I don't need to yet. I've still got ten percent. [It's been weeks since the last time he settled down to charge about twenty. It's an annoying, time-gouging process.]
Well -- yes, um. There was an anomaly triggered by a misfiring holographic imaging system. It normally projects images into something the brain can interpret, but there was an error that never released you from the projection.
I imagine that you were made to dream a series of odd things.
[If it was an error, then what about Will? Did she make him up? How could she have? If she told him there was someone else in there, would he believe her?]
Whatever happened, it's over now. We'll overhaul the system and wipe the harddrive. The firmware's as old as the rest of the ship, so it's been needing an update for a long time.
Jemma, what are you talking about? We would've known if this incident happened prior to yours. None of us are fond of allowing mistakes to happen twice.
[Even if he doesn't believe her completely, he's acting like he does and that goes a long way for Jemma at the moment.]
He'd been in there quite a while, and I suppose he was about... Middle thirties. But that could have been his age when he was taken, not how he'd be now. He said he came from California... San Mateo, I think...

Are you charged, Fitz?
no subject
Are you all right? Can I get you anything?
no subject
[She's glad he's here anyway. It's far less frightening.]
I feel a little better.
[Than earlier anyway. But she still feels someh fragile, like its something that could change at any minute.]
no subject
[He ignores the remark about his power level. Self-maintenance doesn't matter. Only Jemma does.]
no subject
[She feels like she may, yet. She focuses on the light blanket spread over her legs.]
I was part of the ship's computer. Or the holosuite's, anyway.
no subject
[That's not quite the way he understood things.]

Something happened when I went in, to run the diagnostic. The computer... I was kind of running as an independent program.

Well, I understand that it'll reset everyone's settings, but it's really necessary if we want to keep it safe.

It was probably just a hologram AI...

[She knows how crazy she sounds. But she can't let Will get erased.]
no subject
Then we'll just have to get him out as well. What can you tell me about this Will?
[And why was she dreaming about someone else?????]

[That's convenient, isn't it? He's skeptical.]
no subject
[What are you trying to say, Fitz?]
no subject
[He's trying to say you've just been through some stuff and maybe you need a vacation.]

no subject
[He didn't have to.]
