The downside of gathering long term supplies for the crew, was that Lex did have to make sure they were all brought on board and stowed away properly. It cut into his vacation time, but it was a small price to pay to get some business done, and make a few connections that he'll be able to call on later. Besides, with 99% of the crew off the ship, for once, it allowed him freedom to do a few things, like have a word with a certain AI that wasn't Stacy.

Sitting at one of the terminals in Neuropathy, Lex navigated his way through part of the AI multiplex, until he came across the one he wanted to speak to.

"Hello, GLaDOS. I need to have a word with you."

Luke had experienced a lot of heartbreaking things, but the ache was worse when the ones being hurt were close to him. His heart went out to Steve, and as he gave the final 'push' in the Force that would slide Steve into sleep, Luke leaned over and hugged him.

"It'll be okay," he said. "It'll be okay, Steve."
