Looks like moving out of transport housing when I did was one of my better decisions.

[ Deadpan as ever. Yeah, guess who's looking at the apartment complex right now. Almost everything is bombed to hell. Except for his own single apartment further away from the Hold which is pretty damn cool. ]

Though I have to wonder if that was caused by the bombs or another type of explosive. Or maybe a chain reaction.

[ You know who you are. And if this is your fault, kid, Adam hopes you're happy now, you asked for it. ]

Anyway, do we have a status report? Not like I'm expecting an official one anytime soon, given the levels of competence and efficiency we're working with here.


[ Private and 98% unhackable, for Bunny Barnaby. ]

How's it look? The precinct-to-be still standing?

[ There's a notable pause. ]

Should probably get a move on, given the chaos. It's a breeding ground for more.

[neveraskedforthis]

Yeah.

private

[ex_bandai157]

Then yes, I did.

[ and boy did he hate that :/ ]

private

[neveraskedforthis]

I told him to get lost and take his explosives with him, but I can't be sure if he really removed them all. Should check again just to be certain.

private

[ex_bandai157]

I agree. If necessary, I know how to defuse bombs.

[ mostly. ]

private

[neveraskedforthis]

You done that before?

private

[ex_bandai157]

I've dealt with bombs before.

[ by kicking them out the roof because he choked on the very last step. ]

private

[neveraskedforthis]

.... That's not a straight answer.

[ WHATEVER. ]

Just help me check the building. I don't want any more surprises.

private

[ex_bandai157]

[ straight answers are for chumps, mister bossy ]

Alright. After the last one, I doubt anyone else does either.

private

[neveraskedforthis]

[ whatever man as long as we can get rid of those BOMBS ]

Good. Looks like I'll be busy the next few days but we should get together sometime with the guys trying to establish a police force here. I just hope they're easier to work with than the Initiative.

private

[ex_bandai157]

[ he's faintly amused despite himself. ]

I thought you weren't very interested in working with them or taking orders.

private

[neveraskedforthis]

I'm still not. But anything sounds better than dealing with the Initiative right now.

private

[ex_bandai157]

Fair enough. We should also confirm that everyone who'd spoken about joining before is still interested and ready.

private

[neveraskedforthis]

Yeah. Are you keeping a list?

private

[ex_bandai157]

Yes. There's one with the others with the station too.

private

[neveraskedforthis]

OK. Mind sending it to me when you got the time?

private

[ex_bandai157]

I'll be making the list available to everyone soon, if you can wait for that.

private

[neveraskedforthis]

I can, provided you don't take too long.

private

[ex_bandai157]

I won't.

[ gosh. ]

private

[neveraskedforthis]

Good.

[ because he sure doesn't want to deal with more incompetence. don't disappoint him, buddy. ]
