[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?

They messed up all this shit just to get us here.

[Which means there's no limit to the amount of destruction that they'll cause to get axe the team entirely.

Hiruma was right.]

[predomination]

It's a theory, anyway, but a sound one. We know they caused it, and there's no denying they probably knew we'd come after them, after stumbling on them accidentally last time. We had no idea what the Deemers were and if we had stopped them and halted the mining without learning anything about their objectives, we still wouldn't know.

It means we need to be cautious even more now, Asher-san.

[THIS IS WHY HE DOESN'T TELL PEOPLE HIS THEORIES... of course if he didn't, everyone would be thinking it anyway. he just assumed it was an option a little bit before this. if anything, it's a thought he should have voiced sooner.]

[moneyballer]

No, it makes sense.

[Disrupt the timeline, cause a commotion.

Zymandis kills two birds with one stone... They fuck with ALASTAIR and wreak havoc in this universe, potentially destroying it. Wasn't that why the organizations broke up in the first place? Something like that, about one group wanting to fix things and the other wanting to end them.]

...Do we even know what they're really packin'?

[If this was a lure, there's a chance that the virus isn't the only diabolical scheme their enemies have up their sleeves.

The response from the government seems odd too. When Asher had contacted the mayor, he had pointed fingers at the hospital staff. It seems crazy, but what if the Taraxa have somehow penetrated the legislature in this town? If that's the case, there's no knowing how much power they truly hold.]

[predomination]

I'm not entirely sure, yet, beyond a few vague ideas. The infected being cared for in the sewers tells me that perhaps that is their weapon- a weapon meant to devastate us in the worst possible way. A disorganized group of loyal servants that we're conflicted about harming. The Taraxa were one thing, but they saw how deep the reluctance to harm them was, until we found out they couldn't be saved.

These people can, and they're not shells. They're people pushed in a direction. Can you imagine a more devious weapon against us? A true test of the kind of saviors we really are.

[moneyballer]

[Urahara's words ring true, even if they are uncomfortable.]

Do we know what's up with the Mayor?

[Uttered quietly.]

He knows about us, right? That we're here.

[predomination]

He has seemed remarkably hands off, hasn't he?

[Urahara's been so frazzled about the cure, that he's left all of that to the detectives, but it does seem a bit odd that for all he knows they're here, he hasn't offered them much.]

[moneyballer]

Yeah.

That and he made some of our teammates go one some wild kind of goose chase to find his cat... Which didn't seem weird to me, at first-

[pussy game 2 strong]

But now that I think about it, it is weird. Weird as all hell.

[Could it have been a distraction?]

[predomination]

Where was the cat found, Asher-san?

[he's very serious about this.]

[moneyballer]

I... I dunno.

[God, if it's the sewers-]

I'm not sure.

Did anybody even find it?

[predomination]

I haven't heard anything about it, myself, but that does seem suspicious, doesn't it?

Even the detail about it being a cat, of all things.

[moneyballer]

Why?

[he is not an anime. cats do not talk or turn into hot and/or scary girls in his universe, ok]

I guess it's funny that the mayor technically wanted us to get some pussy or whatever, but-

[No.]

[predomination]

Because of our sister team- Team Kittypaw.

[what the fuck, asher.]

It's almost like they were assuming we can't resist the siren call of a tragic feline out of loyalty or something.

[moneyballer]

Okay, dude?

[Ah, this is too much for his simple brain.

Asher rubs both temples with his fingers.]

One conspiracy theory at a time.

[predomination]

Okay, okay. But we really should see if anyone found that cat.

if you need me to not, i can delete this

[moneyballer]

So, U-dawg...

[Cue an inappropriately timed eyebrow waggle.]

I guess pussy just happens to be your thing?

But why would I want that when you've given me such a great opportunity

[predomination]

Oh, Asher-san~

You have no idea.

i'm S CREAMING

[moneyballer]

Damn, son.

[At that, he pounds a fist to his chest twice, then showing two fingers.]

Respect.

[god he's probably into some nasty ass shit]
