[Thank god for silent mode.]

[And now by text:]

Pinkman, pick up.

[jurisimpudent]

[Fiiinally:]

Fine, we can discuss something else.

[hostage]

What

[text]

[jurisimpudent]

Something else.

[text]

[hostage]

Yeah what

[text]

[jurisimpudent]

Are you asking what it is, or are you asking for clarification? Utilize more words.

[hostage]

WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT

[text]

[jurisimpudent]

Well done. Re: Your account of Sirens' Port

[hostage]

[He's too lazy to keep typing. Here's voice instead.]

What do you wanna know?

[jurisimpudent]

[Oh good.]

Everything.

[hostage]

Well where do you want me to start?

[jurisimpudent]

...How you arrived there.

[hostage]

I fell onto an abandoned baseball field and puked. And then some kid told me a magical machine called the Core brought me there, 'cause it does that sometimes, and there was no way I could leave the island so get used to it.

[jurisimpudent]

All right. And...was this machine indeed responsible?

[hostage]

I dunno. I never saw it.

[jurisimpudent]

Did anyone?

[hostage]

Probably. It was locked up tight though, high security shit. None of us could go near it.

[jurisimpudent]

[There's the sound of a pen scratching on paper.]

So who had control of this Core?

[hostage]

The government, I think.

[All the fucks Jesse gave about the Core, really.]

[jurisimpudent]

So they were responsible for your kidnapping?

[hostage]

Nah, they didn't like us being there. It was an accident. The damn thing was broken.

[jurisimpudent]

Broken. All right.

So how did they react to "not liking" you being there?

[hostage]

Okay, you know those crazy Minutemen guys that drive by the border with like guns and shit, waiting to chase illegals back into Mexico?

It was like that except they had nowhere to chase us to, so they just messed our shit up all the time. And lots of places wouldn't hire us or like even let us in the store, which was the douchiest thing ever.
