What's the water situation like at the moment?
[She knows plenty of people are grabbing food, but they might be running low on water.]

We're not in danger of dehydration, but...
[The water situation is tricky; he still hasn't thought of a decent solution.]
I really don't want anyone bringing a bunch of plastic bottles and containers up here unless there's some way to reuse it, and as of right now, I don't think there is.

[That's a good point.]
What about bigger containers, something we can keep up here for storage in the future?
[They're not going to stay up here forever, but they still want to be able to use it.]

Like extra tanks? That could work. But how would we refill them? A really long hose?
[Perhaps he's not thinking about this the right way.
Shh.]

Saul...
[Saul pls.]
For starters, how many people do we have here with powers that could help?

[Please hold while he consults his tablet and looks to this post.]
A few, maybe. This isn't everyone, but...
[Hum hum hum, scroll scroll scroll.]

[Look at her, peering over his shoulder.]
The TK would work. Atlas can manipulate water, too.
[She's still not sure where Donny stands on the secret ID, so it's better to be safe than sorry.]

I know someone else who can create ice.
[Which is ideal, really.
But Saul doesn't want to abuse anyone's power like that.
gasp]
I can talk to her about helping out. I wonder if we could —
[This is going to sound so stupid.]
Uh. I'm picturing a very large iceberg kept just off-base, like a permanent source of fresh water. Since we're basically in a giant freezer...

[It sounds kind of weird, but not necessarily stupid. She has a few suggestions, but one thing first:]
She can create ice out thin air?
[Sounding just a little skeptical, there.]

[Sounding just a little skeptical, there.]
Yeah. But she can't form it into anything without a chainsaw, apparently.
[He still doesn't understand that part.]
[He still doesn't understand that part.]
That doesn't make sense.
[Not the chainsaw bit, the ice out of thin air.
Unless she's turning the water molecules from the air into ice.
Steph sighs.]
Anyway. I don't think it'd need to be off base, that seems kinda unnecessarily complicated.

Yeah, but it's not like we can fit something like that in here. I'd rather not take up freezer space we could be using for food just to store ice.
[A little absently, he starts playing with her hair.]
I don't actually know how the water system works in here. Do you?
[A little absently, he starts playing with her hair.]

But then why leave it as ice? Water works just as well and takes up less space.
[It can start as ice, they can just let it melt.]
I know it's recycled, but I haven't really gone digging for information.

I dunno. Just spit-balling ideas.
[Brainstorming, yay!
He hums and twists a few locks around his fingers.]
We should find out more about that.

The AI probably has schematics, they shouldn't be too hard to get.
You can't get 'em yourself?
[Not that she minds, really, she's just wondering if there's a reason.]

[Because he has weird feelings about talking to the AI and also she works for him now except that hasn't happened yet gdi timelines
He kisses her temple.]
I guess I could...

[the most overdramatic sigh]
You know the AI doesn't have cooties, right?
You know the AI doesn't have cooties, right?
Then you can go talk to it.
[See?
But no, here. He'll do the thing.]
Please?
[See?
But no, here. He'll do the thing.]
Please?
Fine, fine. But you owe me.
[Even though it's not really a difficult task.]

[She doesn't know Kanaya well, but she doubts she's the type of person to do something like this as a joke, so she spurs everyone into action.]
on our way
what's a shadow dropper?
[She has about a hundred other questions, but that's the only one that really matters.]
