[Akilina types away on her futuristic smart phone, not looking up. Her expression is the sort of thing she's worn only a few times before, under far more dire circumstances, but at this point everything is dire.]
I can't afford your distractions. I've got a lot to get done and I'm still not sure how I'm going to do this. There's too many variables, the original plan Pymmie hatched up isn't going to work. I can't figure out who I'm supposed to kill right now but I can't wait until it's too late. I've got one chance to do this right.
And you want me to go play games? [Lina glances at her mun as if she's a complete moron.] I didn't 'make my way out', you couldn't leave me alone. I don't need this right now.
[Y'know, you're in the past here. There might be someone to help you out.]
...I know my parents and their friends saw a lot of crazy stuff. But they're not, themselves, crazy. I don't have enough proof on me to back up what I'm saying and I don't know how to find them, either. It's more likely 'Uncle' Loki is going to pop up and speed up the end of the world. So right now I need to get to Manhattan. I have to survey people, monitor them, try and narrow it down, make the right kills- [she breathes in, and then breathes out, shakes her head and tries to stabilize her voice back to something confident and cold.] I don't need anyone.
