[Barbara has started studying the network, but hasn't interacted, because she doesn't use any tech she hasn't hacked yet. The last thing she expected was a message.
For a moment, she just stares at it. It would be easy to feel exhilarated, downright giddy with relief, with hope, but that's dangerous. There are people here with all sorts of powers. The government knows her identity.
This could could so easily be a trick, could put her - or Cassandra, if she's really here - in danger.
Finally, she settles on something relatively safe.]
[after a moment's hesitation, she sends a GPS pin, just outside of de chima.
shiva has work to do. but right now that almost doesn't matter to her. and even if she's been thinking quite a bit since her ascension about her connection with the woman who shares her namesake...
barbara is family. and right now that's something shiva doesn't have much of. so as busy as she is, in this moment? this still takes precedence.]
The manor. Um, I can--call you a car? Or come to you?

You left Detroit?

You took me to Serbia.

Yeah. Yeah, I did. [She keeps her voice steady. It's habit, more than anything else.] So you could find who you were looking for.
[And she hadn't seen or head a damned thing since, just like Ted - ]
God, Cass, what happened? [Dammit.] No. No, not like this, where are you?

Barbara feels a wave of grudging gratitude for the Porter.
Again, she has to make a decision. This could still be a trap, and either way she's offering her position. (Her home, maybe, eventually.)
But it's Cass. Cass is worth the risk.]
A car would be good. [She's not alone here, after all. She sends Cass her own location at Residence 005.]
