[Oswin tosses and turns. She can't sleep. A nasty nightmare work her up sometime ago and she can't manage to get herself to drift asleep again. Too much adrenaline pumping through her veins due to the dream.

A sigh and she swings her legs over the side of the bed, shivering as the covers fall off her bare legs. This won't do. She needs a distraction. And there is one man who is the world's best distraction.

Ducking under the top bunk she exits her room and opens the door to the room beside hers.]

Doctor?

[eggsterminate]

Want or need to?

[She raises her eyebrows, sounding amused.]

[comeonthensexy]

Both.

[ Building things is serious business.

Now what should he attach this propeller to... ]

[eggsterminate]

[Aww. She'll bump her head affectionately against his knee again.]

Suppose I'll work with you. Don't slow me down.

[comeonthensexy]

That's my line.

[ He ruffles her hair with a smile and reaches for a small remote. ]

[eggsterminate]

Please!

[But she grins back at him when he ruffles her hair.]

[comeonthensexy]

Fine. But no one is slowing anyone down here.

[eggsterminate]

Definitely not. So let's get to work.

[comeonthensexy]

Oh, now?

[eggsterminate]

You don't want to?

[comeonthensexy]

No, not that. Just didn't think you meant now.

[ He'll just casually toss this propeller to the other end of the room and slowly - so Oswin doesn't fall - stand up to get to those parts. ]

[eggsterminate]

Why not now? Now's as good as any time.

But we can finish your toy first.

[comeonthensexy]

Too late, already thinking about the flying machine.

[ And so he starts rummaging about. ]

[eggsterminate]

Tut, tut.

One thing at a time.

[comeonthensexy]

One thing at a time is boring.

[ He tosses a propeller Oswin's way. ]

[eggsterminate]

I'm sure we'll find ways to spice it up.

[She catches it and examines it before setting it down in front of her.]

[comeonthensexy]

Mmm.

[ Next goes a box to put batteries in. ]

[eggsterminate]

What are you thinking?

[There's definitely a sort of glee to her voice. Like a kid about to receive a christmas day present.]

[comeonthensexy]

I'm thinking...

[ A lot of things. ]

How to control it. Or how to make it control itself.

[eggsterminate]

AI then?

[comeonthensexy]

[ He turns abruptly, blinking at her. ]

Yes. Well. No. No, that's not possible, can't do that with stuff. Junk. Scraps.

[ Frown. ]
