[there's the smallest scowl on her face at this. she takes a sip of wine and it's a little more aggressive than before.]

I already told Encino that I'll side with whoever's the most efficient and annoys me the least. A reasonable company ought to do the same: follow what maximizes profit for them.
[he also sips his wine, shrugging lightly]
They've said enough about being able to earn our way to more information that's classified if we get promotions.

... I've been told there are things that I don't remember that are happening at home that I need to get back to. Collar aside.
If they can send us back precisely at the moment that we left, it'll be fine, but I... would prefer to be there now.
[this is slightly pouty.]

[well scien has now had enough wine that he's trying to get his thoughts in order, which actually means they're in a circle]
I mean that the timelines went in two different directions, rather than following the same path. So they diverged.
[wait]
They're not... the same.

Most of my life and his, at this point. [and it's only because he's had enough to drink that he admits - ] He is an annoyance and a nag, but he is my right hand.
