[network] @ASolomons; audio, morning of 265 [open]

[devoutish]

The fuck is going on?

[He sounds exhausted, as per usual, and his voice is hoarse and raw - he's been doing a lot of non-stop talking these past few days, trying to keep Royce engaged.]

Right - the lot of you, sound off. What happened, and what needs to be done?

i'm talking about the actual cultists
the ones controlling them

private

[ecks]

the actual cultists are dead
unless a
Eve or Robert Milletr are cultists
Winter said I sdhould ask ghosts about them to find out but I have not had many opportunities to talk to ghosts recently

private

[rubikscomplex]

miller's more likely
and someone or something activated that computer
might be a computer program
in which case
i wanna destroy that
and it counts as a cultist

tell watson you wanna talk to the ghosts
he'll probably feel bad about not getting to you soon enough for your hand
he'll take you wherever you wanna go
shelley derricks is still a good source to tap

private

[ecks]

Doctor Watson did not get to me in time because I went the other direction from him
it is not his fault
but I can go talk to Shelley Derricks because I do not think I can come back through the pass again soon after he cuts off my hand

private

[rubikscomplex]

you won't have to
go talk to derricks
then get food
and go through the tunnels
you'll be near one of the trap door entrances
i need you to map out the west side of the town's tunnels for me

private

[ecks]

acknowledged
the trap doors are the trap doors in Natasha Romanov's guide to the buildings?



I obtained a gift for you

private

[rubikscomplex]

yes

what did you find?
extra harmonica?

[If it's a stuffed animal, Ecks, he swears to the robo-spiders...]

private

[ecks]

no

[That would have been a better gift. Now she's sad because she doesn't think her gift will make him as happy as a new harmonica would have. Instead of elaborating further, Ecks just sends two audio clips.]

private

[rubikscomplex]

a-
:)

[Both excellent choices, Ecks, but he can't give you too high for marks.]

private

[ecks]

[Oh! That's very very good after all!]

:)
better than average

private

[rubikscomplex]

don't get used to that grade
you'll have to impress me more to get anything higher

private

[ecks]

like retrieving the harmonica

private

[rubikscomplex]

that would be impressive
don't kill solomons to get it
he's not worth it
and melborn will probably kill you back

private

[ecks]

I know
it is not a justified reason for murder
also Royce is dangerous
teh Cat also said this

private

[rubikscomplex]

why does the cat have an opinion on melborn's assassin cred?

private

[ecks]

I don't know
I told him about the harmonica and he said he thought Rocye Melborn might kill me if I attacked Alfie Solomons in his presence

private

[rubikscomplex]

he's not wrong
those two are srsly gross with how lovey-dovey
"I WILL MURDER AND DIE FOR YOU"
they are

private

[ecks]

I cannot attack him now regardless
I do not know where he is and I am doing other things

[Like losing her hand to gangrene, for instance.]

maybe it i because Alfie Solomons puts his penis in Royce Melborn's butt
:)

private

[rubikscomplex]

[That garners a brief snort from House.]

probably
;)

keep up the good work, kid
and don't go looking for trouble

private

[ecks]

ackniowledged
:)

that is not a joke
the smile is because I am glad you are alibe and enjoyed the gift
