Summary

Absolute Zero's mother is in town for a conference. Unfortunately, so is a T-PA security force that would love to talk to Zero about the circumstances of her recent emigration.

Background

While out purchasing snacks in an attempt to cheer Vip3r up, Zero sees a news article announcing a conference on climate change taking place at the University of Washington, headlined by Dr. Eva Ashevak. This would all be well and good, except for one problem: Dr. Ashevak is Zero's mother, and all of the messages she has sent to let Zero know she'll be in town have been getting filtered to her spam folder. Zero runs home in a panic.

The Meet

Zero rushes by Vip3r and Harebuck in the kitchen, only stopping to drop off the pile of snacks before barricading herself in her bedroom to call her mother. Dr. Ashevak is excited to hear from her, and invites her to bring her roommates to hear her talk so that they can all get dinner together after. She seems happy that Zero is making friends. Zero is less happy, because she and her friends are career criminals and, already feeling like a massive disappointment in comparison to her mother's achievements, Zero would prefer it if she never found out.

The Plan

After the call, Zero invites Vip3r and Harebuck to accompany her to her mother's presentation, on the condition that everyone do their best to act normal. Or as normal as would seem reasonable to someone who birthed and raised Zero. The day of the talk, the three of make themselves presentable and proceed to U Wash.
