[Daniil posts live from a café near the museum. He has no patience for typing responses, and his own visage should explain why. His nose has recently been broken and reset. He looks exhausted and irritated, but he has a duty.]

I need a couple people to come down to the café near that absurd museum with the sewn up fruit exhibits. Bring a stretcher, we have a patient who could use some more urgent treatment.

[From somewhere offscreen, a voice that is distinctly not Daniil’s states:] This Etrayan shot me in an attempt to get information I did not possess. I would appreciate his removal from my presence.

Now- That’s not true at all. That is not the reason you were stopped. [Daniil now regrets making a video, but what’s done is done. ]

I heard there was but I haven't met them. How did you even get the gun?

[thantagonist]

Why, from the gun maker, of course.

[badlydisarmed]

And yet, you've somehow managed to convince people to do things. Incredible.

Is that why he didn't beat you up? You persuaded him not to?

[thantagonist]

That’s because my course of action was measured. Sacrifice a pawn, gain a queen.

Why who didn’t beat me up?

[badlydisarmed]

Castor. Unless he's the one that broke your nose.

[thantagonist]

Ah- No. No, that was an enforcer, and for the second time this god-forsaken week. Hence my motivation to speed this little mission along.

[badlydisarmed]

He didn't attack you? Why'd you shoot him?

[thantagonist]

He was getting away! Do you know how annoying it was to find him?

[Actually not that annoying, but the act annoyed Daniil massively.]

[badlydisarmed]

I can't imagine I'd have found it annoying enough to shoot him. But what do I know?

[ Now he has to treat an angry former bot with an identity crisis. Thanks Daniil. ]

[thantagonist]

[Is it even Daniil if he isn’t making stupid work for other people?]

You may have noticed that I am frequently more easily annoyed than others. Still. Sub ipsum fumus sumus. [We’re in the thick of it.]

[The common language should come through unimpeded, Daniil surmises.]

[badlydisarmed]

Why would that guy know anything? Wasn't he violently removed from his post?

[ He doesn't care about the political intrigue, this is what he's heard. ]

[thantagonist]

He knows where his own server room was. He knows his own security measures. He knows who did this to him, he just won’t say. I can feel it. My actions have narrowed down the search. Accelerator told me so.

[badlydisarmed]

And how did Accelerator obtain this information?

[feytality]

It wasn't me!!

[badlydisarmed]

Oh good. Because if it had been you, you'd be a little responsible for the shooting of the former AI. And you'd be feeling really bad about it.

[feytality]

But it wasn't! I just wanted you to know.

[ she feels bad anyway.... ]

[badlydisarmed]

I believe you.

[ he does not believe her. ]

[feytality]

[ rip maya ]

Thanks...

[badlydisarmed]

Neither of them are dead or near dead, so let's take that as a win.

[feytality]

.... Yeah. I guess it could have been worse.

Are you a doctor too?

[badlydisarmed]

Unfortunately for me, yes. Are you hurt?

[feytality]

I am, but I'm more worried about him. Can you take a look at him?

[badlydisarmed]

Superman's bringing me Castor.

[feytality]

That's good. [ enjoy self-cesting!!! ]

Dr. Dankovsky might need help, too. I don't know how badly he's hurt.

[badlydisarmed]

[ i didn't think this would happen!!! ]

He's very resilient, I'm sure he'll be okay.
