Sometimes 'looking like you need more sleep' and 'looking like you're in a good mood' are not nearly as incompatible as you'd think.

Ray has sugar cereal, a T-shirt from the 53rd Precinct in the Bronx (they were really grateful when the Ghostbusters got the walls to stop bleeding), and his Incredible Hulk slippers. Yeah, he looks tired and his morning reading involves advanced avionics repair textbooks with 'USED' on the spine, but other than that all would appear to be right with his world.

"It's an interesting question, to be sure," Ray says. "Do you happen to know if Wilton Knight's original plans for the plane included solo flight? You know, as some kind of aeronautical test vehicle or something? I mean, I know that's unlikely, but..."

"I don't know exactly. I don't know how much of that plane, besides code, is Knight and how much is military. I only know that he was in one of the hangars in Nevada before the military seized him. Twenty years of development hell can do a lot of things to an AI. And he sounds like he was reprogrammed to be the perfect little soldier. If I want to know about him, originally, I'll have to ask Kitt. He knows where all Wilton's files are - were - and can get to them. He's due to go back to work soon, even if that means L.A. instead of Las Vegas. He'll swing by there if I ask him to. Especially since it'll mean info for his little big brother."

But then Bonnie stood, hiding a yawn, collecting her laptop. "I've got to head to bed, Ray. And I don't know if I'll be back in tonight or not. I've got a lot of stuff to do and not that much time to do it in."

Ray nods. "Okay, then. Sleep well. I'll talk to Eddie tonight if he's still up for talking."

Bonnie smiled - almost smirked - a little as she gathered herself up. "Might catch him in a test run," she said and waved as she headed up the stairs. "G'night, Ray." And then, yawning, she was gone.

((And so was the mun - to bed!))
