Pipes doesn't get an answer. Magnus is still rebooting.

He doesn't finish rebooting for another ten or fifteen minutes. His systems really aren't in very good shape. He comes around to a face full of the ground and just blinks, slowly. Maybe he's back in his cell. Maybe it was all a strange dream. Gradually, painfully, he lifts and turns his head by inches to look around.

Pipes is still sitting there.

"You're still here," Magnus croaks, baffled.
