[Linda comes onto the network today actually dressed casually rather than in her patrol uniform; she's wearing a red T-shirt under a gray sweater jacket over jeans and boots. her hair is pulled back in a braid, and the ever-present engagement ring is on her hand. today of all days, she wants to be wearing it. because despite the dome and her relocation, she's still counted the days, and she knows that if none of that had happened, this would be it--this would be her wedding day. and having realized that, it's a thought she can't get out of her head]

Hey, is anybody free today? [her tone is casual, but there's something a little anxious in the way she's standing. she has her hands in front of her and is unthinkingly playing with the ring as well] I'm off, and I don't want to spend the day sitting around alone. I'll take you to lunch--my treat. Or...I don't know, a walk in the gardens, or even some games in the arcade? Maybe a drink at Pugsy's tonight. Sound good to anybody?

[she smiles, but it doesn't reach her eyes. still, despite the feelings she's fighting, she's determined not to spend today moping. she's going to distract herself with new friends and fun instead]

[Una's not quite sure what to say about that. Belloq told her that the "dangerous people" wanted Niko out of the way. Assuming Belloq was telling the truth. Not that he had much reason to lie to her at that point, but she didn't trust him. So she tries to cover all the possibilities.]

Maybe. Or they might have had something against Niko—though I can't imagine what.

[that answer doesn't fill her with confidence. she sighs, her expression darkening as she continues her drink] We'll have to watch out for him. He's been through too much already.

[Una nods in agreement.]

It's not in my job description but—if there's ever anything you or Kay or the rest of the team need help on, you've only to ask.

[that gets Una a smile] Thanks. I'll let you know if anything comes up.
