You're prepared to believe my best mate and I dressed as ninjas and fought another bloke on the streets, but this is the step too far? Ask Beckett to confirm. He's back and he's a Londoner.
Didn't think you really would. But it's a nice thought. [He might be able to stand being back in London if he could have a few of the people from here there.]
No real use mulling it over. [He pauses to cough again.] Better things to think about. Like what you'll be doing after you get resupplied and your vision's back. Are you going to try doing your supply runs?
A lot worse. It doesn't look like there's anything outside at night sometimes when you look out the windows. It's inside, too. Not as bad, but it's here. Worst is at night.
[Which lends credence, he hopes, to the notion that Bucky mistook him as an anomaly.]
Okay. I think Ecks was heading over to Kesara's tunnel, at least. So they'll probably be able to get something. I asked her to bring food for everyone, and she said she would.
Yeah. [That's probably the best he can hope for in terms of Alfie acquiescing on the issue.]
There is one other thing... not sure if Tifa might've mentioned it to you already. Her app worked. It led us to Jia XĂș's body, the nurse practitioner I met when we were having all those dreams and who specialized in NIMA.
We found an SD card of the last thing she wrote and a video recording of her... murder. Whenever you get your sight back, you can watch it - no sound. But it's horrible. She gouged some bloke's eyes out trying to get him off of her.
Made a post about it in the link I'm sending here.
[Wow, okay. That's... absolutely true, but John thinks it's useful!]
I think so, yeah. It's giving us more context for what happened. The fact the NIMA system went down before and people didn't die suddenly and horribly is telling, too. Means the plague that happened before that we've heard about is separate from what incident drove people underground.
It was in the hand of a corpse inside a little room in the hospital that the murderer had bricked up. We had to punch our way in. Quark was the only one small enough to get through.
He said the body he found was still breathing, but stopped after handing over the SD card. I think... I think it was probably Jia.

[He'd snort, except he knows how much that would hurt.]
If we manage to stay in touch after we're out, I'll send you a few postcards. Let you decide if it's worth it.

Where was the card, the SD card? Inside a furniture cushion?
