First 90 secondsFranklin· Guest0:04
This has taken a long time, Alice.
Alice· Guest0:06
It's cramped down here. Why we always use the main doors to the hold. Okay, the hex wards are temporarily disabled. [alarm sounding] Damn, I feel dizzy.

Warning, fault detected in hex wiring loom.
Franklin· Guest0:21
Alice?
Alice· Guest0:21
It's okay. We don't want it to show up on the logs as a deliberate turning off.
Henry· Guest0:25
I really don't think this is a good idea. While we can't get in, they can't get out.
Franklin· Guest0:31
They don't seem particularly bothered by the wards though, do they? We could do this in the morning, Alice.
Alice· Guest0:36
I want to talk to this fucker now. Don't worry about the contract. I do this next bit right, and the seals won't realize they've been tampered with.
Henry· Guest0:44
That's a new trick of yours.
Franklin· Guest0:46
It's not the contract I'm worried about.
Alice· Guest0:48
A witch doesn't give all her secrets away, Henry. Okay, I'm jacking into the seal's interface. Franklin, let me know if the Strega goes on alert.
Henry· Guest0:58
On it.
Alice· Guest0:59
Actually, it's a one-shot exploit I picked up in the Delta cities a while ago. I've been saving it for a special occasion. Just never thought it'd be breaking into my own ship. We're in. Strega, status check on the hold seals.
Speaker 3· Soundbite1:16
All hold seals intact.
Franklin· Guest1:18
Fancy.
Speaker 3· Soundbite1:19
Fault detected in hex wiring loom.
Franklin· Guest1:20
Now climb out of there. I'll take point. Whoever's in the hold is a cornered rat. You focus on containing any witchy crap this bastard tries on us. Henry, you ready?
