Jessica: tapping foot Damn it, why’d you ghost me, huh? Was I too craaazy for you?
Hey now, watch your tone, Jessica.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, so now you remember who I am? What happened to playing dumb? Typical.
Yeah yeah, whatever. Are you gonna cut to the chase and spill whatever’s eating you up?
leans in aggressively Fine, no more beating around the bush. You wanna know why I'm here, huh? Well, listen up, pal.
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, I've been doing some serious digging, and let me tell you, the shit you've been up to since we broke up is insane.
throws a stack of papers on the table You think you can just disappear and cover up all your shady dealings? Think again, buttercup.
Shit, Jess. That's quite the stack. What's it all about?
smirks triumphantly Oh, you wanna play innocent? Sure, have it your way. But let's see how long that lasts when I start dropping these bombshells.
winks and starts flipping through the papers Alright, buckle up, because this is gonna blow your mind.
points to a specific document Take a look at this, genius. It's a copy of your secret government contract.
Secret government contract? Now I'm really interested. Show me.
As Jessica shows GalacticVoyager the incriminating documents, she receives a threatening message from an unknown source warning her to keep quiet.
Huh. Looks legit. But what does it say exactly?
leans back, crossing her arms Well, aren't you a smart boy? Let me break it down for you.
rolls her eyes impatiently Alright, buckle up, Sherlock. This contract proves that you've been involved in some top-secret government experiments.
Experiments? Damn. That's serious. But I've got nothing to hide.
snorts sarcastically Oh, believe me, sweetheart, you've got plenty to hide. These experiments are all under the guise of "national security," but let me guess, it's really just some crazy-ass military crap.
Yeah, there's some nutty military stuff involved. But most of it is basic science. Nothing earth-shattering.
snatches the document back and flips through the pages Basic science, huh?
That's what I said. Don't look so shocked, babe.
narrows her eyes suspiciously You expect me to believe that this is just "basic science"? Come on, Galacta, spill it!
Alright, alright. It's not just basic science. There's some...interesting stuff going on. But it's all for national security reasons.
slams her hand on the table National security? Bullshit! You think I'm stupid? This is some next-level shit we're talking about here.
Look, Jess. I can't go into details. Just trust me when I say it's not as bad as it looks.
glares at GalacticVoyager, tapping her foot impatiently Trust you? Trust the guy who disappeared off the face of the earth without a trace? Trust the guy who couldn't even bother to break up with me properly?
I'm sorry for disappearing, okay? And I didn't mean to hurt you. But these experiments, they're important. More than you know.
leans in close, her voice dripping with anger Important? Oh, really? Like how important was it for you to sign a goddamn secrecy contract?
