Okay, fair point. Look! I had to ask.

[ but he trusts her, and also agrees gideon sucks at that. ]

If there's anyone who can figure this out, it's you.

[influenceher]

I know it's a gamble, but I think we are still better off having a murder house that one of us can shut off as opposed to... random thought here.... zombies. [The whole team got super dead minus her and John. She feels like they can only go up from here!!!

Zari chills out enough to appreciate the vote of confidence at least.] But, thanks. I appreciate it.

[brological]

Why did you have to bring that up?!

[ nate releases a full-body shiver as he remembers getting eaten alive. ptsd is nbd when you're a legend!!! ]

Okay, for real, this is a legit plan and you're doing great. What can I do to make this go smoother?

[influenceher]

Because I really liked having living friends, Nate! [Zari points out a tad bit defensively. Yes, things are weird with them, but she sees that he's trying. He lost his best friend and still tried to discuss her grief with her even when she made it damn near impossible. That means something to her even if she's still pissed at what went down in TVland.

Zari quickly redirects herself to get to his point. She exhales audibly and talks over her thought process as she types.] Okay so we need a ton of redundancies so it'll be pretty hard for anyone, but me to mess with this program. We already know other Zari will step in if I get brainwashed so I'm feeling really good about leaving this to me.

[And John won't let her die so this is foolproof!!]

[brological]

Okay, I'm gonna try my very best not to get eaten again. We cool?

[ he steps closer to her carefully, peering at the screen even though he only understands a fraction of what's going on. it still gives him an idea. ...which he will share after he addresses that very disturbing revelation. ]

Do you think that's like, likely? 'Cause I thought you were all good now.

[influenceher]

We cool. [Zari confirms as she types away. Her fingers slow at the question. She knows the answer to that. She obsesses over it in the dark of the night. Zari carefully keeps her eyes trained on the screen as she answers.] Yeah pretty much. Other Zari went into the totem willingly, but the hacking is still here. I'm sure if I pushed the right button in my brain, the flashes will be back too. The only thing that changed is that hijacking me is on a timer so she'll probably make a quick cameo and back to the totem. We're kind of stuck with each other for life. Both of us just know it now.

[She hates that she even has to tell anyone that. Zari thinks Nate ought to be mentally prepared for the fact that nothing really changed.]
