A very Simon answer that leads to a very Alex migraine, of course. Because what was a conversation with Simon that didn't end up with her rubbing her temples in the same way that she was doing now? The only difference was in the way that Alex normally had to wait until Simon hung up the phone and was done with talking to her before she did it. Letting out a long, steady and controlled breath (was someone counting? Yes, she was absolutely counting to ten before she responded.) "Okay, Simon." That seems an easy place to start right, and at least it's not the sharp sounding sort of tone that Alex would have used once upon a time back home.

Also if she was a little further along, the center comment would make her think that he sounded like Strand, but for not Alex lacks that context.

"Okay." Well, that doesn't mean that Alex isn't going to try another way around this. "So, you said ' but if you build it, he will come. And when he does, he brings chaos, and madness, and death.'" Yes, Alex can recite it from memory because she's listened to it many times and turned it over and over in her head like a rubix cube, which frankly is easier to solve than anything Simon said is. "Did you mean 'you' as me building it personally, me the show or just a general you of like all of this?
