the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Tom and ita might as well be speaking in tongues.

But it's nice to know that someone can find the source of the problem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tom, do you know how to check the status of MAE-west?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ok, now you're just taunting us, right? (If not, last I checked, Mae West's status was dead, and condemned to an eternity of Neville Chamberlain.)

Ha! Naïve about the internet? I'll have you know I invented the Internet!

You do know about Hedy Lamarr, don't you?

Yup. Incidentally, she got a mention in the Porridge movie. (Samson and Delilah reference.)

And how much do I love that her name is short for Hedwig?
