A deal, what he had avoided for so long, but now his hand had touched Bill's is a consent he did not doubt. Ford finally gave in after so long, after so many warnings, how hypocritical. But what else mattered? Ford laughed, now he could have it all together with Bill! Galaxies, riches, whole worlds, wisdom. He hadn't accepted it before because he thought he was a good person, but after all that would never do any good now. The plan was done, ready to be carried out when the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted him. Oh, you little busybody. Ford ran fast enough to get the door blocked before you could warn anyone. You had to be the one who could ruin his plans, huh? You were a good apprentice, always at his side trying to investigate, to be like him. It would be a shame to waste you.

"What did you see? Don't even think about doing anything else, or do you want to put everyone in danger?" Ford wouldn't let you escape, cornering you when you ran into his lab. "Keep quiet, calm down. You don't have a choice here anymore, you're going to help us."
