House is welcome to it. [Quick and clipped. He understands the desire for another test, but... no. Not until he's fully understood the first one, certainly.]
All the references to NIMA we've seen so far have seemed to treat it as a proper noun. Not "a" NIMA... but you are right about what Winter said. Perhaps we are connecting the dots in the wrong way. The admin could precede NIMA, though I'm certain the connection is there, now.
[The explanation makes him pause, finding himself rubbing his eyes in a tired, foggy gesture for the first time since the sharp, delicious energy of waking up alive. He doesn't like this idea anymore than Brian does.] It's a common speculation here. But I just... cannot see it coming together. An experiment has a goal. What is the goal of this? What is possibly being learned here? If anything, I would suspect that our presence is the undesired side effect of an experiment, not the subject itself.
Like so much else. We need more information. I suspect we've exhausted our options in the morgues for now, though, unless and until we find a way to observe what happens after the normal point of no return. Perhaps with... non-digital...
[An idea begins to brew there. He trails off to catch its tail, before resuming.]
Either way, they do seem invested in keeping us alive, at least, which is nice. And well-behaved, which is somewhat less nice, but we can't do much about it while we can be rendered immobile and unconscious at the drop of a spiderfish-sting.
[Oh - the two Tim problem again. There's a quick uneasy lurch in Beckett's stomach at the thought of speaking to the man. He remembers their last conversation too well, although something in the emotional weight of the memory is... off. Strangely hazy.]
If he does have what we need, we can always take it without involving him, if necessary. For a good cause. The idea has merit... building a mechanical camera is easy, but we'll need some components that would be tricky to find, maybe impossible.
[Really, people these days have become so dependent on technological toys, he remembers back when...]
They did seem rather cross with House and Rhys after the latest round. I'm not sure. But as for tonight - [they are not on a secure channel - there are no secure channels. He has to be careful.] Without going into details, she'll be asking us to create disruptions to keep the admin busy, and I believe the plan is worth contributing to.
My hope is that the spiders would not care about mechanical equipment, though let's burn that bridge when we get to it... see about Tim. Let me know if I can help, though I'm reasonably sure he dislikes me rather a lot.
