Looking for a chemist with the ability to reverse engineer a formula.


--Mr Charles

[ Guess who's at his normal cafe in the earth sector? That's right, Cobb is sipping his tea quietly while he scours the network for someone that can manage to take the somnacin formula and give the team more. If they could work the PASIV... ]

a few, but I'm not sure it's safe to trust them. No one that stands out as an actual chemist, just people who have an experience with it.

[And damn, does he ever wish Yusuf was here. ]

Are we really going to take a chance with them though? How do we know that none of them wont try to poison us, or how any chemical will react to the ones already in our system?

[ these are the things that run through her head ]

[ You're reading his mind. ]

Exactly. Though didn't Arthur try to kill himself?

Sadly, yeah. And it didn't work.

[ and yes, she really doesn't want to see that again. ]

Who knows what will happen the longer we are down here.

Do we even know how long it's been?

[ Cobb's reminded of limbo again. Worried, too, though he'll never say it. Not out loud. ]

I'm not sure. I'm not even sure if time works the same here.

I'm not sure myself. I'm still confused how Eames has more memories than us.

[squint]

There are people that say they come from different times. Is it possible Eames is one of those without realizing it?

Those people aren't real though.

[ you know that, right? ]

[squint]

[ cobb catches himself. Right. Not real--yes. Yes, of course. Keeps his thoughts about Inara to himself, about how maybe-just maybe... ]

It's just a theory.

Is everything okay?

[ because she is going to worry about you, like it or not. ]

[squint]

Ariadne, I'm fine. [ please stop poking. ]

[ and she isn't exactly sure she buys that. SOOOO... ]

Have you talked to the others recently?

[squint]

[ NO STOP IT ]

To give information as needed, yes.

[ yeah, well, that answer just isn't going to work, cobb. and she is now just going to flip on the feed, looking into it somewhat skeptically, and obviously concerned. ]

What might be your definition of 'as needed'?

[squint]

[ He flips to video at the same time she does, lifting a hand, as if to say 'stop.' ] It means exactly what it should mean.

[ her brow furrows, as she frowns slightly at that answer.

She doesn't like that answer, Cobb. ]

You know what I mean… [ a sigh ] You've been through a lot Cobb, you can’t sit and pretend like nothing has changed and that you’re perfectly fine.

[squint]

[ Yeah, yeah he can. But there's a moment of hesitation--just a brief, tiny glimpse as he casts his eyes down. Pensive, almost. ]

Eames said we were successful.

[build]

[ she sighs at that, her brow furrowing in thought. ]

Do you believe that we were?

[squint]

[ Cobb's silent for a little more longer than unnecessary--and, if you looked very very carefully, his gaze shifts to the side. ]

I want to.
