[Once again, Sam's addressing her fellow Haveners through an open broadcast; this time, from her own apartment. She's sitting on the couch, rolling a glass back and forth between her hands.]

Okay, so! The clock's rolling over in just five more minutes, so I need to know: who's at home and awake? If you're a friend of ours and not awake, I'll apologize now because we might be waking you up in the next couple of hours. Depends on your door.

D'you have any favourites, from what you've put out? Or good stories from flops? I'm not trying to give you a hard time---you'd know if that were the case---but.

[And she shrugs.]

[He laughs] Most of my “good” stories are likely those ones in which I had my medic friend threatening to reformat me into a holo-projector if I blew myself up again.

I think my favorite was a converter and refiner that could turn various substances into energon, and refine it into better quality fuel.

Again?

How many times have you blown yourself up?!

[She can't help but ask it laughingly, because Zero, really?]

Re: [Video]

[greater_than_zero]

[He laughs] More times than I really cared to keep count of?

[He shrugs, and spreads his hands.] The hazards of working in a lab?

Va chier! I dunno if I should threaten you just so someone's picking up the slack for your friend, or find another rabbit's foot.

[He laughs] What's a rabbit's foot got to do with anything?

It's a good-luck charm. Sounds like maybe you might be able to use one.

A good luck charm? Well, I'd certainly not turn down something like that.

We'll see if I ever catch another rabbit. If I do, you got dibs.

What's a rabbit and what's it got to do with luck?

Re: [Video]

It's a small mammal, herbivorous, quadrupedal. And I couldn't tell you how this came to be a recognised thing, but their paws--left hind paws innparticular--are supposed to bring good luck if carried on the person.

[She'll fish hers out of a pocket, holding it up so Zero can see.]

I'm not sure how lucky it is, but it was given to me as a get-well gift after I busted my leg, so I could say hey, at least I'm luckier than the rabbit.
