She saw his head shake, silhouetted against the glow of his glove lights ahead of him. His stride did not change. "If we go too fast, we'll set off alarms. It's the best way to make sure the alarms will go off when someone's on the run, but it's not the only way the alarms can be triggered." "What happens if alarms go off?" "A lot of exciting stuff," he said, "ending with this tunnel not being available to run the blockade any more." "Oh." --- Alley terminated the call. "I have to go home, but they're still working on my car," she said. She looked over her shoulder, at the mechanics' garage. "I'll call up a ride." "Wait," the prioritizer said. |

She walked in silence behind him as the passage took some turns, then finally asked "I guess Smuggler probably isn't actually the name your parents gave you." "No," he said, without looking back. "I inherited it." "Are you saying that's your family name?" "No. The previous Smuggler retired from this kind of thing and passed the name on to me, like the Dread Pirate Roberts." "I thought all that stuff about the Silk Road guy was supposed to be made up." "I don't know," Smuggler said. "I never met him. I think a predecessor with the name Smuggler might have, though. Anyway, I was talking about the character from the Princess Bride, not the Silk Road founder." "Oh. I've never read the Princess Bride." "Neither have I," I said, "but my predecessor and I watched the movie together a couple times." "I forgot that was a movie," she said. "You make me sad," Smuggler said. Alley failed to produce an answer. --- Alley terminated the call. "I have to go home, but they're still working on my car," she said. She looked over her shoulder, at the mechanics' garage.
