Bill floats around invisibly, looking to see where Ford's gone. Bill feels like he just saw Ford this morning but apparently for him it's been a few weeks?]
[He looks up from his communicator when he hears his name, clearly happy to see Bill.]
There you are! I was wondering when you'd turn up.
[There's a machine on the workbench, about the size of an electrical generator. One of the panels is open -- it's being worked on. However, it looks pretty much complete, with that '80s sheet-metal-and-rivets blockiness that's the hallmark of a Ford Pines invention. There is an adjustable collar attached to it with heavy cables, and a foot-wide aperture at the top.]
Quantum-entangle pets acquired on the Barge with their owners. That way, when they get sent home, the animals will go with them, instead of hanging around here for us to deal with.
Hang on, let me get the door.
[Ford heads over to it and cracks it open, enough to let Bill use his usual powers.]
[He picks it up and demonstrates how expandable and contractable it is. You'd be hard pressed to find a creature that would be able to be kept aboard the ship who the collar wouldn't fit.]
No. I don't want to repeat what happened the last time someone the Admiral still had hold of went to another dimension, so I've made sure it won't work on two people.
[he looks over at Bill, and his brows draw up and his face pulls into a smile.]
...you aren't just here to talk shop, are you? I haven't seen you in weeks!
[Proper kiss, then. Bill usually has not crossed the PDA line with Ford - they've never talked about what's okay, and he errs on the side of shyness caution - but nobody else is here, so he can just sneak one in, right?]
[Nobody else is here, and the door is barely cracked, they'll hear if someone comes in -- so yes, Bill can absolutely sneak this one, and gets some enthusiastic sneaking back.
Could all change in a heartbeat if they so much as heard a footstep down the hall, but for now, one semipublic kiss is happening.]

The lab is one of the last places Bill checks, actually. Ford has one of his own! But he makes it eventually.]
FOOOOORD~
