Threading is a process which uses human memory to tie together two points in space for faster-than-light travel. It's dangerous and addictive, and Dee tried to quit, but now she's being dragged back. Can be found here.

- Distinguishing Mark: Nina and Dee have similar markings on their temples.
- Fiery Redhead: Nina, but she dyes it (and her roots are showing)
- Good Cop/Bad Cop: Nina and Vivian, or Lottie and Mona. Nina and Vivian might be more Bad Cop/Worse Cop though.
