Mm... if we can achieve it right away, then I would like to stop by Eunhyuk's home first, if I can. [though eunhyuk will absolutely say not to do that.] Given the... state of emergency in his situation.
There's another I intend to go to, but it can at least wait for a bit. There are matters back home I can't exactly put off for long either, admittedly.
[In my heart I believe Charles's wife supports poly...
Anyway]
You might as well come with me, then. [Since that's exactly his plan anyway!!] I said I'd give him a week, or until I lose his signal. We have a backup plan, but I'd really rather not use it.
[He does not want Reliver Eunhyuk if he can help it... he also hasn't decided yet if he's going to stick to his word or just go down after like a day and help Eunhyuk anyway, monsters be damned.]
What I'd really like to know is if I can get into his government's database without being on land. I know in my world it's possible to maintain communications between the space stations and the government, but I don't know much about the details...
[WHY HAVEN'T YOU DELETED THE GAGTAG ALSO SHUT UP LUKE YOUR BOYFRIEND
but he nods.]
If we get communication, then count me in.
[unless [redacted] with alaune is happening that day but frankly if alaune knew he had a friend in need she'd be more upset if he DIDN'T leave her to go help them.
anyway nothing luke says after that makes sense to him.]
What do you need his... government's database [?] for?
Thanks, Charles. [The more people who care about Eunhyuk the better!!! He doesn't even have to get stupid and jealous about it, he is fortunately not that insane or (yuul voice) yandere
His expression flattens out at that, though.]
I don't trust them. From what he's told me, they've abandoned their citizens. And they definitely know more than they've let on--the government always does. [He. Would know.] Eunhyuk doesn't know much about what they've been dealing with, but if anywhere would have that information, it would be the government's files.
That makes him smile, even though his heart is still heavy with what they're actually talking about.]
It's usually very mundane. You look at a bunch of codes and numbers on a few screens until you get the information you want. Different things have different layers of protection, but I usually have the tools to get past them.
I don't know for sure how similar his world is to mine, but I might be able to use my security clearance to get a head start.
[STOP he looks away, embarrassed... he is too pale to hide his blush. But he's had time to get over a little bit of his shyness, so he won't say something tsun like "I'm just doing my job"]
He's a good person. [To put it simply, even if there's nothing simple about it, really.] He deserves a lot more than what he got.
[And Luke is the sort of person who will move heaven and earth for those he loves, so it was never a question of doing something, even if he wishes there were much easier ways to go about all of this.]

he frowns because corrupt governments... something charles also hates personally...]
I see. Yeah, in that case, it does sound like they need to be investigated.

I don't normally get electrocuted when I hack into things, for the record.
no subject
Good to know because actually I had no frame of reference for what usually happens in "hacking".

Hey, if anyone could figure it out, I bet it'd be you. [a beat] Obviously I'll be, uh, kind of useless in that regard.

No arguments there.
