Canon is Neal Stephenson's REAMDE.

I am, regrettably, very busy. No time to be inmate on barge. Must, instead, find Chinese hacker and try not to kill him, and then hope events - and people - become no crazier than they already are.

Perhaps redemption later.

What are yours?

Boss does not like. He says no backup plans. One plan.

So your boss is an idiot.

Crazy.

Maybe he's worried you have a backup plan for him.

This, exactly.

[ And unfortunately. ]

But he may be working on orders. He may not just be crazy. So, dangerous to go over his head.

Huh.

You'd fit right in, I'm just warning you.

This is not comforting.

Do you think it was supposed to be?

No. I just say: I would rather be in a prison with very many people not at all like me.

Why's that?

Because people who are not like me are often very stupid.

Yeah, I bet they are.

There are plenty of stupid people there, too.

This is also not reassuring, as anyone knows who has been in room with many stupid people.

Except in this case it's basically a box of stupid people.

[how does that make you feeeeeeeel sokolov]

Worse.

And you can't escape, seriously, at all, so there's that.

This is very bad time.

There's no good time, buddy.

Yes, but this is very bad time.

Well. Try really hard not to die, then?

[sooooOOOOOOOOO HELPFUL]

I will pass along sentiment to crazy boss.

Tell him you're more useful to him not trapped in space prison.

I think this will have different but similar effect as telling him I have backup plan. Different in wrong direction.

How's that?
