[ South's got her head turned away from him, keeping an eye out in case anyone comes too close to the hiding spot she's apparently found company in. So, she doesn't immediately realise who that company is; it's been a long, long time since she heard York's voice and, well, the sound of some poor fuck screaming is pretty damn distracting itself. ]

The fuck if I know. Destroying the thing would stop them doing it to more of 'em, but I don't think they're just gonna let that happen.

[ And she does not want to get killed for this.

With a huff, she rolls her neck and turns her attention to the other source of her distraction: the AI in her head that she hasn't had implanted since she got to the rig. Merciful as it is to not have to keep him in at all times, it doesn't make getting used to actually having him in any easier. ]

Hey, Delta. You should know something about shit like this, right? Brain stuff? Is brainwashing reversible?

[ The distinctive green hologram (dimmed for hiding's sake) flickers to life between the two of them, forcing South to look back his direction, but his position leaves York's face distorted from her view. ]

It is possible to 'deprogram' a brainwashed individual, however such studies and techniques are tailored to a psychological model of brainwashing and are therefore unlikely to be of use to Agent York and yourself at this time.

Yeah, great, thanks, that's super fucking helpfu— [ A beat. ] —wait, what the fuck did you just—?
