"Well, these crepes are really good, but there are still a couple of things I want to discuss with you", Dustin said, putting the plate back in the refrigerator. "Mind if we go up to my studio? We'll be more comfortable there".
"Of course, but - are you sure I'm not taking up your time? I don't want you to get in trouble with Judy.
"Nah, she must be sweeping up the merchandise from the stores by now, I bet she doesn't even remember me.
Robin chuckled.
Once upstairs, he asked Dustin for the flash drive with the document to see if, now calmly and without the pressure he'd been under the night he had fled, he could find a way to unlock it himself.
"Hm, nope", he said after examining the files on the holo-computer. "I don't think I could unlock this. It's too sophisticated, I'd say it's not even from this planet."
"Not from Planet Earth, you mean? Are you talking about alien technology?
"Could be."
"WOW, 2054 sounds a lot more interesting than I imagined."
"You'd be surprised".
"Really? Tell me, did you finally discover that there's extra-terrestrial life? Did they come in contact with you?
"Sorry, Dust, but I'm not authorized to give out that information."
"More state secrets. Huh?
"No, just Time Traveler's rules. I can't talk about certain events in the future", Robin replied, turning off the holo-computer and setting it aside.
"Ah, bummer. Now I'll have to wait 37 years to find out," Dustin sighed. "Anyway - I hope my dad can bypass this alien security."
"We still don't know if that's really it. In any case Captain Shen will tell us. He must know more about that stuff than we do."
