DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DESTROY THE BRANDING DEVICES KNOWN AS TRACKING CHIPS. It will alert the Masked of their destruction. They will find you, and re-chip you. The second place where they insert another chip, your spine, makes it harder and dangerous to remove. [ You know who found that out the bad way? This ~~Roman~~Imperial. Now he's chipped too, beating himself up for his lack of foresight. ]

...oh, well. That's unpleasant.

I didn't think they'd go this far. I'm an idiot.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that. Have you thought about going to see our ... hosts for removal?

My friend will have to for his. I can't perform spinal extractions. Mine, I can ask my colleague, John Watson, or my flatmate, Anders.

How very persistent. I feel inclined as to ask how you came about this discovery but...

I suppose this is just all the more reason to avoid confrontation.

[WHICH SHE WILL WIND UP FAILING AT. miserably.]

Please, avoid confrontation. There isn't a way to beat them, at least not yet. [ Martin swears to his gods he'll pay them back, somehow. ]

[a look of genuine concern!]

And you're certain of this?

Of course they will. Do you really think that they will put them in without having some means to figure out if the chips were removed?

I didn't think they'd be brash enough to invade my flat and brand me.

They are a group that has come onto this island, dressed in a type of suit made to bring them attention, and set up guard in any public place they can find in order to tag those they wish. I am sure that breaking into a room is not above them.

But simply removing them has done nothing so far? Only destroying them attracts attention?

That appears to be the case. I've removed many without destroying them, and nothing has happened.

[ Someone's been waiting to see what happens to you guys when you remove them. ]

That's good to know.

Really?

And what if you break it off the spine? Exactly how far up the ass are they willing to go?

Yes, really. I'd advise you against testing that theory. [ Amusingly enough, if they were to chip them 'up the arse' as so eloquently stated, that'd be a fairly simple extraction...

Clinical detachment, it's a blessing. ]

[ He'd been planning on just trying to hack the thing out himself, or ask for any random bystander's help. He hadn't wanted to trouble the infirmary or clinic about it, they probably had enough people to deal with. But Bariyan's well aware of the fact that if the Masked come back to re-chip him, they might stick around to chip other people too.

He sighs. ]

I won't. But gods, what a pain.

[ for the love of before John fully responds he curses a bit under his breath, not wasting that much time to check in however ]

You okay?

[ It's a strange change of pace, to be in the receiving side of a healer's concern. ] I will be once I help my friend get his second chip out of his spine. Sadly, I can't perform spinal surgery.

You're still training, you'll get there eventually. I can help you with the surgery.

My God. How did you discover this?

I removed a chip. A friend destroyed the chip in anger. Hours later, the Masked stormed into our flat and chipped us all.

We didn't stand a chance. We were knocked out cold.

Is everyone all right? That is -- that is terrifying.
