York can't help but laugh at the mention of magic. If it were magic, Wash wouldn't believe it was real. "Yeah, I guess it might seem like magic to somebody who's never worked with computers. But it's not, really. It's all just...numbers, when you get down to it. But I work in bigger abstractions than that." She pauses, then activates her omni-tool and swipes over it a few times before she brings up what looks like the 3D schematics of a complicated-looking lock. It looks sort of like the kind you'd find on a bank vault, but an awful lot more...malleable.

"See this? This is called a holographic lock. It's based on the same kinda interface the omni-tools use, which means you can interact with it manually. Except since it's digital, that means I can interface with it, with somethin' like this. Hell, I used to have a little buddy to help me out with this sort of thing all the time."

And she can't help a fond smile thinking of Delta, a little tinged with sadness, because man, she misses the little guy sometimes. She raises an eyebrow at Severa in curiosity, drumming her fingers on the bartop. "So I've gotta ask -- what I do, would you consider me a thief, too? I mean, by your definition."
