[ These messages come in each morning, pinging directly through to voice mail so Costigan can pick them up at his leisure without having his morning routine disturbed. ]

"Good morning! There once were two ships: one had red paint, one had blue paint. They collided! At last report, the survivors were marooned."

"Good morning!

Many years ago there was a small town that had several bakeries. One of these was run by the aunts of a man named Penn. He and his aunts baked the best pies in the state! Not only that, but they were also the least expensive. Now the other bakers could make equally delicious pies but Penn always sold more, for no one could beat the 'pie rates of Penn's aunts'!"

A farmer with relatives in East Germany heard that a food package he had sent had never arrived. Optimistically, he assured them, 'Cheer up! The wurst is yet to come!'"

[ There's a file attached to this message that should give the option to boost any private conversation up to a 97% encryption as soon as it's installed to the console. ]

It'll have to be written directly onto an anon communication - contact me if you need that.

You owe me a drink.

[ guess who heard about arthur and costigans little chat? THIS GIRL. and she clearly isn't thrilled about it all. ]

Hey, Grumpy. Ready to put your timetravelling skills to the test?

Sure, kid.

[ It's been a while since Jack has left Costigan an early riser pun but today's is different... it comes in video format rather than audio. The spirit has been waiting for months to be able to do this. ]

Good morning!

Question: How did Christopher Columbus finance his trip to America?
Answer: With the Discover Card.

[lostundercover]

What, so busy you can't even wave hello?

[Costigan smiles at the blank screen, assuming Jack is off screen working on other things and just multitasking.]

[ She can't really put this off any longer even though she doesn't want to have to do it. Olivia sounds a little upbeat, but it also sounds a little forced. ]

Hey. I know you and Lincoln were friends, uh, but he left. If you had things planned with him... If you need help with things that he was going to help with, you can call on me.

[Costigan sighs a little.]

I don't remember him. Or you, for that matter.

It means I used to trust you, but.. [Another sigh.] Fuck if I know what it means right now.

This is Doctor Leonard McCoy from the Soranik Natu Clinic. Are you... [ There is a pause as if he's reading something in front of him. ] Costigan Jr., William?

audio;

[lostundercover]

[He sounds a little bit like he might want to murder you, McCoy.]

How do you know that name?

[trainwrecked]

Hey, I'll be skipping on morning runs for a while. If you need somebody for a run, Steve Rogers'll probably be good for it.

[ And not just runs. ]

Just letting you know so you don't decide I might be gone or somethin'.

[He frowns a little.]

Anything I can do?

[ There's some static on the line because of the corrupted consoles but the message is more or less ungarbled, unlike the text he'd tried to send. Bakura's voice is pitched low and bears traces of strain, but he doesn't want to put this off too long. ]

Which one of the Foreigners wears black armor?

audio only;

[lostundercover]

Why?

[denyamenti]

[ He keeps it plain because the consoles are still not secure. ]

You can stop investigating.

[lostundercover]

Which one?

[ironcoin]

Mr Costigan. This is Odyni, of the Merchant's Guild.

[ a pause; she's trying to sound friendly, she really is. it's partially working. ]

I'm pleased to hear you've returned to Keeliai.

audio;

[lostundercover]

[He doesn't remember the woman at all and wonders if he should. He adopts a light tone, trying for slightly more friendly than neutral.]

Don't know if I can say the same about being back. What do you need?

audio;

[irongaze]

Mr. Costigan, I trust you are well and settling back into Keeliai. It's always heartening to hear of a Foreigner returning.

audio;

[lostundercover]

Yeah? You know anything about why some people remember and some don't?
