[ Gorgug nods when Peter repeats him, and clearly they're on the same page. Clearly! They have a large weight on them, and if that weight is real or not, there's a threat of what could happen when so many people can get brought here, and they have no means of finding out the truth. Of establishing contact back to their own worlds.
So he smiles, timidly, in response to Peter's own, shoving his hands into his pockets. ]
Yeah. I know I've been pretty lucky, knowing people from my school here... but I still worry when-- one of us disappeared, and I don't know if she really went back. Or... if this is all real. Leaving it up to one guy and his AI doesn't instil a lot of confidence.
[ In Gorgug's opinion. He shrugs. ]
Nothing ever feels right. And you don't know... if you should be doing more to make a difference.
Yeah... I know the feeling. I've seen people from home come and go, too.
[Natasha and Yelena, particularly.
He tries not to think about that, because Natasha was particularly horrible to deal with. Knowing even if she went home, it'd just be to her death... It all sucks. But does any of them really know how Etraya works? Enough to be confident people get wherever they're supposed to go?]
Anything we can do to help people here makes a difference.
[He says it with confidence, even despite everything else the place throws at them.]
Even if we can't do some big, dramatic rescue or something... just being there for each other means something. [He grins.] And building a cool computer is a good way to do that.
[ A cool computer can help, and though Gorgug is aware enough to know that Peter's saying it to lighten the mood, maybe, or give them some encouragement, Gorgug knows it doesn't have to be entirely that. Especially since- ]
...I did get some server drives-- from Aurora, [ he explains. Not pensively, but maybe unsure about Peter's reaction. ] Um, a guy wanted to know more about what was up with us, and, I asked to see her server room, and I took them? But I haven't had the time to decrypt them.
I don't know if there's anything useful on them, but if we... maybe we can find something on them? If you wanted to do that together. As a project?
This was before that, [ Gorgug supplies with a nod. ] She said she's doing better--I asked her about it, and, actually, she let me set up some bots around outside the bubble to keep an eye on things.
They don't tell me when they see dust moving anymore. [ He pauses, then admits: ] But I've been thinking I should see what they do if they do see a weird person out there...

That'd be a perfect-

He leans in whispering urgently:]
You took them? Like, without her knowledge?
no subject
No. [ He drops his voice down a note, shaking his head. ] She stood there and watched me do it.
She kept saying, 'that's a bad idea'.

That's it? There was no... alarm bell, or -- or security system.
She just watched.

Yeah.
[ Uh, ] Maybe what she said was, 'that's not recommended'? I don't-- remember. But I was, I was pretty careful about taking it out.
[ Therefore, no need for alarms, right? ]
no subject
But at least it was Gorgug; he's a good guy, Peter can tell. With a deep sigh, he accepts this situation as it is.]
Well, hopefully she's got things more under wraps after the last time people got in there.
