Picnic Time

Who: Chihiro Fujisaki & Martha Jones
Where: Out at the checkerboard hills
When: The day before the event
Rating: General audiences, but may include discussion of sensitive topics
Summary: Chihiro finally makes good on her promise to take Martha out for a picnic, to show her the archive of the Mirror Network transmissions away from the Mirrors' prying eyes.


If any of the other residents would have seen Chihiro wandering through the halls, dressed as she was and happily chattering with Martha, probably the last thing they would consider would be that the two are engaging in a plot - a secret plot - a secret plot that involved espionage, hacking, and a picnic being used as a front for a clandestine meeting of some sort. Of course, the picnic was also just being used as a picnic.

"I put together some sandwiches and got some snacks from my closet," Chihiro explains, briefly reviewing the contents of her basket before beaming up at Martha. "The drinks I took from the kitchen should still be cold, too... I got them just before coming up here for my procedure..."

"That does seem like a good place to start... I would have asked for the same thing." Turning to the laptop, Chihiro issues a command. "Alter Ego, please bring up the most recent mirror network transmission involving the mirror self of Dr. Martha Jones."

Alter Ego's face - that is, an image of Chihiro's own - appears on the screen for a moment to acknowledge the request, and then shrinks down to the corner of the display while transmission from the mirror network cycle through. After a moment or two, the screen settles on one thread in particular. Looking quite proud, the cheerful A.I. chimes in. "This is the most recent transmission I could find, Master. I've also logged the locations of several other network threads for further perusal."

Chihiro turns the laptop over to Martha, allowing her full control over the computer to scroll through the transmission. "Your mirror self was very kind to me when I was stranded on the mirror side, Dr. Jones... I hope you don't find her behavior too unnerving..." Chihiro glances off to the side, trying not to recall her own mirror's behavior in too much detail.

This is all far more advanced than Martha had prepared herself for, and she's extremely impressed as she watches the program scan through a number of other transmissions before finding the one in question. Martha scoots in to get a better look at the screen and then watches the exchange. It's her Mirror speaking to Whale, which means this was way back during that time when there was the door with the riddle.

Does that mean her Mirror uses the network that infrequently? "No, it's fine," she says to Chihiro, somewhat distracted. What Whale told her is true -- her Mirror's very meek, and apparently not willing to risk herself too greatly to help someone else. Loyal to the Queen, but by necessity only...?

Martha's just thankful that Whale had been kind to her. She glances over to Chihiro and lets out a sigh. "Is the network not used as often over there? This is from so long ago..."

"That does seem to be the case... they use the network a lot less than we do. Either that, or the setup I have doesn't pick up all the transmissions... but I'm not sure why it'd pick up only some network posts and not others..." Chihiro lets out a sigh as well. "It's definitely not a perfect solution, but it's the best I could manage."

"I wonder... do you think the mirrors talk in person more often than we do? Or maybe it's just the opposite, and they prefer to talk to each other less often... it does seem like a lot of them are pretty antisocial, from what I read. My own mirror is... not very pleasant, actually..."

It could simply be that the network isn't used as much over there. Martha's Mirror certainly seems to fall on the antisocial side -- or she keeps to herself, anyway.

"It could be that they don't use it as much because there are no events there. A lot less to talk about, I would imagine." It could be for other reasons, too. Maybe the Queen of Hearts doesn't want them overdoing it. Maybe they noticed Chihiro's security breach and decided to be more careful with what they say over the network.

Martha turns her attention from the screen back to Chihiro. "Have you gone through all of it? Is there anything useful that's ever mentioned, or is it mainly just mundane conversations?" Strange, to think that the Mirrors might get bored the same as they do.
