[The city's tech is nothing like Russia or China, that's for sure. If it was, then Tim would've broken through it in ten minutes, and Dick would have been a minute behind. He knows Tim's still set on finding some trick to the code, but even he must know they'll never break through the system properly without a technopath.
And that, if one ever shows up here, their powers will be shot to shit before they can be any use.
But if Dick's determined anything from this conversation, it's that this is someone he doesn't want to pick any further fight with and that the both of them are in the kind of mood that's going to make that tricky if he carries this along too far. So:]
Well, you sound like the expert. I'm just a hobbyist with a couple of night classes and youtube tutorials under my belt.
So far as the pictures go, you might be taking that personally because they are personal. Or it might be the City playing double agent on itself. But the number of messages I've had from people trying to change their sandwich order or cancel their subscription to Cat Facts makes me think someone's throwing spaghetti to see what sticks. And I if it's -not- a double bluff on the City's part, then I don't think they could do it if the regular systems were running at full whack.
I know what the city can do. It's interesting what someone else seems to be managing right now, and I wonder if the weight on the network of people trying to bring them down might actually be helping them out. That's all.
And it's been nice saying hi, but I really have to get going, I'm running late for yoga class and I still have to change.
Congratulations. You got me to laugh at the idea of yoga pants. There are some images you can never unsee.
[ Because he wasn't imagining DICK in yoga pants. He was imagining Batman. ]
Look, just hit me up sometime when things aren't so messy. I think there might actually be a conversation there I'd want to have. Just not when I'm distracted.
