[She isn't showing her face over the network, but still, Fortescue's voice sounds almost as bad as her numerous injuries. It wobbles every so often, from the abuse it's taken, and she can't even drum up the emotion to be angry about her lack of control over it. It is what is is.]
Hello, Science Center. Miss me? [Fortescue holds the phone away from her face, for a moment, to cough. She might sound dry, but she really is grateful to be back. Very grateful.] Had this place let me remember, I would have been able to return the favor.
...I don't want to inconvenience anyone, but I'm not... especially mobile, and the canteen is quite a distance from my room. If anyone feels like being generous, I wouldn't mind a snack. [Or maybe more than a snack, but she doesn't feel worthy enough, anymore, to ask for more than that. What is she, aside from a person who failed in her most basic duties as a sister?

[Or it should be, except Fortescue doesn't actually look that happy about it. And maybe that has something to do with the hesitation before she answers the question that was supposed to be just a joke.
Darcy almost chokes on the sip of whiskey she's just taken and the color drains from her face.]
Really? [She swallows.] But just bad guys, right? Terrorists? Mobsters? People trying to kill you?
no subject
Dictators. Nazis. War criminals. [From the previous war. Because there was some law, apparently, about constant war. Fortescue hadn't really questioned her orders, but most of the people she's been sent to kill... well, they hadn't been stellar. But especially the Nazis.] That sort of thing.

[She nods and takes a bigger swig out of her mug. Almost empty, already? She picks up the bottle and pours herself a little more. She tilts it in Fortescue's direction.]
So, uh, is that what happened to you? Are they here in the science building?
no subject
[She'd been around for what ended it, but that's something she doesn't really feel like talking about. Not yet, anyway.]
But don't worry, there aren't any in the Science Center. That I know of.
