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 RomanImperial. Now he's chipped too, beating himself up for his lack of foresight. ]

I wouldn't do anything against your will, Nathaniel. Whether you want this second chip removed or not, that's your choice.

Thank you. It's not as if I want this chip inside me, but I need to think about this...

[ Friend. People don't call him 'friend', they call him 'sire' or 'lord'. They don't talk about him as if an equal, or a person, but a symbol and an entity, to be obeyed and protected.

It's...a nice change of pace. It's the only thing he's ever wanted, just to be Martin, a man, not an emperor. ] That means a lot. Thank you.
