Wandering the Capitol

[Sage]

Sage groaned as he came around from the drug induced sleep. It didn't feel good to feel so out of it. He'd never done drug before, not even pain meds stronger than stuff he could get over the counter. He didn't drink for the same reason. It made him feel woozy and he didn't have control of the processor. Now he had nothing. But that was rather the point.

He blinked his eyes open and saw Sasha sitting there tapping away on her own purple laptop. Sage reached across the gap and caught her attention and she smiled at him. "Hey. How long have I been asleep?"


Sasha frowned. "Two days. Bryan and I have been taking turns sitting here." Sasha leaned down and patted the bag. "I didn't have a problem getting your laptop. I didn't know you had an archaic piece of crap."

Sage grinned. "Two apparently."


Sasha smiled and helped Sage sit up. "You sure you can do this by actually typing. Your hand eye coordination sucks!"

Sage stuck his tongue out at Sasha with a smile. "I'm not going to be hacking anything."


Sasha sat down the laptop on Sage's lap and opened it up. Sage swatted her hand when she went to turned it on. "I'm not helpless."
She smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed and let him work.

It took a few minutes for the laptop to boot up. It was old school, there was no holographic card and there was a gimpy amount of processing power, but he only needed to find data. On this laptop was every piece of research his parents had done on the thing in his head - including the living research partners who worked with them.
