Breaking the news about Wasp had gone about as well as Eliot had expected it to, he knew the two of them hadn't been friends, but they'd run in some of the same circles, as Hackers often did. Hardison had also had an answer about the logo on the chip without even having to think about it.

Given as how a good portion of the bars on the street had already made last call, and the rest were getting close to it, the food truck was doing a steady business, and upon spotting Rorschach, Eliot tossed him a mock-salute with the sauce bottle in his hand before cocking his head towards the far side of the truck and the propped-open side door, ostensibly for air flow so that the three of them didn't roast, but Hardison detached himself from calling out orders, leaving that to Parker while he moved through to meet Rorschach there, because it was better that he gave the information directly instead of trusting that Eliot would remember it all.

"Morton Online Machines," He said by way of greeting, "Canadian company, back when it still was Canada, kind of the grandaddy of the rigs we've got now. Problem is, they went under, like, just a few years into production, during the boom when every software company out there had a cyberspace deck manufacturing branch." He shook his head, "But the chip? That's brand new tech, it's new enough that I don't have anything that could run it." Not that he would have done even if he had, "So we're talking turn of the century logo on cutting-edge technology." Where Eliot was almost taciturn to a fault, Hardison said anything and nearly everything that was on his mind, sometimes barely pausing to breathe, but never faster than other people could keep up with.
