[Fiona is a little out of breath, like she just hustled very quickly away from somewhere. Which she did, but that's neither here nor there. The background behind her is some innocuous wood panelling; she's in a house.]

Okay. So. Crunch time. Things are getting nuts out there, if you didn't notice. We are gonna wind up super screwed if we don't hop to figuring out what the hell to do.

[She holds up a vial. It has some alien writing on it, as well as a familiar symbol on the label.]

We found this inside the hospital. A shit-ton of them, actually. So who wants to find out what Zymandis asshole is responsible for this mess and beat an antidote out of them?

I've said nothing about what you ultimately intend to do, even if it's not in my nature to snuff out lives if it can be avoided.

[And he doesn't mind admitting that. He's been told countless times that he's too soft.

He accepts that, because it's better than being too callous, in his mind]

If you're there, his inability to escape is rather assured, isn't it? I doubt any of us have the power to stop you. All I'm saying is that it is worth trying to figure out, for instance, the degree of Zymandis presence on this world and why they chose this method over others.

Surely, both are relevant. And I have no reason to doubt that a god like Loki could be helpful in seeing if Percy knows anything before you mete out your retribution.

[Goodness knows he couldn't overpower Koltira; all he can do is make this appeal]

[ After Nalawi, Koltira does still think of this position as soft--but he thinks of it as deadly self-righteous, too. Sometimes life must be culled in order for the greater world to flourish. That is nature, and it cannot be avoided or denied. Allowing one person to live in order to save countless other lives is not callousness; it is justice. ]

Evidence suggests he's a lone agent.

[ As to the why, he shrugs. Honestly, he doesn't care. Chaos and death are Zymandis's chief aims, so far as he understands them; nothing else is required. ]

But Loki will have his time.

[And some souls in the universe don't presume to be some higher authority, or think they know better. Some are simply that benign, though Haise has never known it as anything but "too soft" by the standards of his superiors.

Ironically, in this case, he's just that concerned with how much they don't know and might lose the chance to find out]

Thank you.

[It's all he thinks to say, if only because it's the best he could hope for. Haise holds no illusions he can change others' minds so simply, and all he can argue is that they need more information.

So he leaves it at that, so as not to take up more of Koltira's time than he already has]
