Karen: Aw.

Rachel: *smiling as she changes the picture to a one of a quiet and uncertain looking young man. ...Who is standing beside a fifteen foot long raptor with skin made of old election signs*

Karen: *boggling now* Is that...

Rachel: *laughs* Another drone like this one and my babies. Jack made him to go to school with Phil.

Karen: Awww.

Rachel: Phil's got social anxiety. His dad used to go to classes with him, but then he had to go back to work.

Karen: Aw.

Rachel: *switches the picture to the boy in a classroom with the dino laying on its tummy between his desk and the wall*

Karen: D'aww!

Rachel: *grins* You should see Tiny dance to his jingle bell.

Karen: *soft 'heh*

Rachel: *next picture shows a flock of shiny, variously coloured little gargoyles clinging to a chain link fence with airplanes in the background*

Karen: ... Those are so ugly, they're cute. *amused*

Rachel: *laughs* They're there to scare the birds.

Karen: *laughs*

Rachel: *next picture shows four huge things like powerful metal spiders, each with a grinning soldier sitting on it*

Karen: *boggling a bit now* Whoah.

Rachel: The army asked for drones to help. *grin* Jack gave them minesweepers. This is Roy, Wheatly, his wife Gwen, and their daughter Eve.

Karen: Ah... *small nod*

Rachel: Wheatly and Gwen were upset that one of the K9 handlers didn't have a drone, so they fixed the situation.

Karen: Aw. *soft chuckle*

Rachel: *smile goes gentle as she goes to the last picture she's got to show* *turns so that Karen can clearly see the little blonde and the golden falcon on the screen*

Karen: *soft gasp as she realizes who she's looking at* *quietly, trying not to cry* That's Legacy?

Rachel: That's her. And Calla.

Karen: *small nod. She can see how delicate and shy Legacy looks... and how much the girl looks like she herself did at that age*

Rachel: *and now she'll play the recording of her first conversation with Legacy, and all the sass that Calla put out*

Karen: *hand over mouth, muffled snerks*

Rachel: *shifts from that to her and Legacy's last pun session*

Karen: ... *amused* I didn't teach her those.

Rachel: XD Considering that was the first time I heard some of those, I think she was making them up as she went along.

Karen: *soft snerk* Well, at least she's good at thinking on her feet.

Rachel: Very good. *shows footage of a lovely little golden jet bot going through morning calisthenics*

Karen: That's her?

Rachel: That's her in the mech suit that came with Calla. *watches Legacy over balance while reaching for her toes and turn it into a roll*

Karen: Huh. *amused*

Rachel: *checks the time, and then grins and calls Legacy's new phone*

Legacy: *answers on the second ring* //People who lack the patience for calligraphy will never have properly formed characters.//

Karen: *excuse her while she cracks up*

Legacy: *squeak!*

Rachel: *softly* Rescue mission almost complete.

Legacy: *soft little sound* //Should I wait by the motor pool?//

Rachel: *startled* Are you at Ark base?

Legacy: //*quietly* The Major wanted me to get trained by Blitzwing and other fliers who know what they're doing.//

Rachel: *just bounced, yes she did* Do you see the tall house over in the tiny house section?

Legacy: //Yes... It kind of looks like the Seeker House.//

Rachel: That's your mom's house.

Legacy: //ETA?//

Rachel: *looks out the window. Hands the phone to Karen*

Karen: *surprised sound*

Legacy: //Rachel? Is something wrong?// *worried now*
