I'll keep this short and to the point to give you guys time to strategize, catch up, all of that.

Congrats on your Magatus missions. Looks like everything's been cleared out as best as we can, but the region's been evacuated thanks to a couple of factors.

The new problem is we just added a bunch of people to city limits.

I've got some good news and some bad news.

Bad news: need some people out in Pesgare to do some deepdiving and recovery. It doesn't look like there's anything out there that'll kill you, but I need something from down there to stabilize Recollé itself.

Good news: got the subway working. Did you know it was just about coding? That's a little crazy to me and okay, I might have found out on accident, but…whatever was blocking exits from the city was just a false creation.

It means getting out of here and checking out the progress outside. The trains will be ready for departure in about a week, I'll get some maps drawn up and everything. I could really use some of you on location scouting.

Finally…who knows about machinery? We've got a problem we should probably look into, but keeping track of that eye's a huge pain in the ass.

Discuss, get in touch with me, prepare. You know the drill.

The issue here is that he's kind of. . .not entirely upfront with us, though?

Oh. Wonderful. So on a scale from "I love your work!" to "I'll quadruple your investment in ten days!", how dishonest are we talking?

It's the "I leave out information that might be important even though I'm more honest than my coworkers!" type.

I see. One of those. As long as they're a kernel of truth in there somewhere, it's not as bad as it COULD be. So this is probably important to do, but it won't be the weekend scuba trip to Cozumel he's trying to sell us on.

Basically.

Well, even if that's the case, I'm not going to back down. I'm here for a reason, and I doubt it's to hide in my apartment while everyone else is chipping in.

[ . . . . . ]

[ This is ironic, given what she did all of last month. ]

Well, hopefully you won't get too hurt too much down there.

I don't plan to. Hopefully there will be people who are a little more experienced here who can keep me from getting into too much trouble!

More likely than not there will be.

That's good. Less of a chance I'll do something bad and get us all in trouble.

Definitely.

Just... keep an eye out, just in case.

I will. Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, is there anyone in particular I should keep an eye out for? I like to think we're all good people here, but I'm not naive either.

Hold on a second.

[ And then she's putting the rest of the message as private. ]

Personally speaking?

I haven't met anyone notoriously bad, but you might want to keep an eye on someone named Malik. My brother told me that he's kind of a pain in the ass.

Hmmmm. As long as it's just a regular pain in the ass, I can probably deal with it, but I appreciate the heads up. I'll keep an eye out for him.

And if for some reason I do run across someone who's worse, I'll pass the info back to you.

[It's not gossip if it's about evil people, right? ~~There might be a very generous definition of evil, but still.~~

If you do run into someon that's worse, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

Of course! Those of us who aren't scary or even just pains in the ass have to stick together.

Yeah. . .

Although I might be a pain in the ass sometimes. Just sometimes. But that's honestly really sweet of you.

We all can be sometimes. It's the ones who make a habit of it that you need to keep an eye on.

Thanks again!
