I think the Enodia rift is slowing the mutations down, for some reason. The gills came in before I was hired here. The dorsal fin came in while I was away during the shutdown. [...] It's part of the reason I wanted to do the mole experiment. [...] Could be a coincidence.
I don't like that I can't lie to you anymore.

It's a worthy theory. There's definitely something unique about the Enodia rift compared to the others; it's pinning down what that's difficult. I wonder if other Liminals at the station have similar experiences.
[...] You can. I can't sense lies over texts. I suspect I actually need to see a person's face and/or hear their voice to have enough data to interpret.

My situation is highly unusual, as you love to point out.
Maybe I do need to give you a reason to keep texting me, then.

Still waiting to hear back. [...] It might take awhile before we learn anything interesting and I'm honestly not sure how much longer Riddle's going to put up with having this thing around anyway.
Honestly it sounds like my worst nightmare. I don't want to know what people really think of me.

Why would you even ask this question? Take it back, quick.
I think some people call that "being polite", but I don't actually know that much about it.

I refuse. The next station-wide disaster we face will likely come from a different mutant, anyway. Surely it's not just moles lurking in the Riftlands.
When you're able to hear how much of what people say to each other is empty politeness, it starts to become maddening. On some level, we all know that people don't really mean it when they say they're fine. I don't even care whether someone's actually fine. But now my attention is drawn to it every time.

Stop tempting fate. I need a quiet month or six.
"I'm fine" sets it off? Maybe I shouldn't talk to you anymore.

Maybe it'll make everyone mute. That'd be nice.
I thought it was because you value my opinions.

Little late in the evening for platitudes, isn't it?
I'm making coffee.
I don't mind. I was just surprised.

That was a given.
Okay. [...] You should drink Gatorade or something if you have it. It's better for heat exhaustion than water.
