Who: Dr. Fitz and Monika
Where: Fifth floor, Room 2
When: July 15th
Rating: PG13
Summary: Monika's "body" went discarded a few months ago, and it's about time someone reached out to recover it.
The Story:

[These last few weeks, the doctor has been wondering if it would be possible to get a moment to himself. It seemed like every time he tried to go somewhere or do something, some stranger would pop out claiming to be a friend or acquaintance. They all seemed determined to talk with him about or over food, though, which gives him the excuse he's chosen for today. Apparently, if he claims that he's going in search for snacks, he's given free access to leave his caretakers behind. It's just what he needs to get preparations started. Though he's been shackled to a desk for weeks, he's had the opportunity to plan his moves carefully.

Monika is the quickest way to get what he wants. She's self-aware enough to use her access and breach normal protocols, but has the maturity level of a child. A simple action will pay off exponentially. It's this he's hoping for as he enters an abandoned living space and plucks a discarded device from an empty mattress. He sends a video to Monika as proof of concept, holding her hard drive up between two fingers.]

I believe this is yours?

[ Monika's eyes shoot open.

She hadn't been sleeping, really, since she couldn't sleep for more than minutes at a time--hooray, video game mechanics! But the network was quiet, she was tired of reading books on coding, and no more angry poetry was coming to her, so she went with her last resort for passing the time, staring at her eyelids. If she pretended hard enough, it was almost like she was sleeping like a normal person!

But there was a sensation of movement. Had the day finally come?

She stumbles out of bed, tripping over herself to get to the computer she'd set up for communicating. What she sees makes her heart leap. Any annoyance she'd been harboring over the Doctor taking his precious time instantly vanishes. He's here!

Happy tears spill out of her eyes and she puts her hands over her mouth. You'd think he'd just proposed to her or something... ]

You...didn't forget about me.
