"This is Intensity. Leave a message."
I'm so glad I didn't even have to ask.
What a good Servant.
What a good Servant.
That is the ground upon which we made our contract. Even if it was not your will, it was and is my own.
Now, what is meant to be done moving forward?

I'm removing myself from field missions for the time being. And some of my information network is working on making sure sensitive information does not always flow through me.
We're trying to limit the blast radius for when Lady Death asks for her pound of flesh.
Otherwise---
Business as usual.

[ with a nod, then ]
Very well.
[ and, a pause ]
. . . Were you alone?

[ considering the question for a moment - then, as though he's finally remembered to do so, he sets down a cup of tea for him. ]
. . . I wondered why it was that my Master was treated in such a way and then killed. But, in the grand scheme of things, I'm sure the details don't matter.
Still, I want to know.

I never died.
[And he spreads his arms wide as if to prove a point]
Still Hell-infusion free. Which I cannot say for the rest of the party. Or you - for that matter.
Paladins - off to save an angel even though half had no memories and the rest had no idea where to look. But my rival was with them, you see. And two others I hold in high esteem.
And while I do not regret it -- I find my goodwill toward missions of that kind vastly depleted after all of this.

[ his eyebrows go up at the mention of paladins ]
. . . I see. So you struck a deal with the Lady.
I must ask, then. Of those in the field now, who amongst them are capable of preventing a matter like that from happening again? That is - are they capable of doing so? In light of what happened, I would imagine there must be some sort of shuffling, or at least some manner of training or preparation in the case of another event like this.

[Text incoming:]
hurricane: u busy?

Of course. Some more of my... people-friendly staff are looking into counter measures right now.
The most important being trying to reduce this single point of failure that communication seems to constantly be an issue. It seems like the notes aren't nearly aggressive enough.

They found holy water there. And a purification chamber strong enough to cure a Hell infusion.
hurricane: i got something for u
hurricane: nothing big
hurricane: don't get too excited

Or perhaps the frequency is lacking - ? Well, I can't say that my own unit is particularly well versed in disseminating the information as a group.
CEO: I'll try to contain my joy.
CEO: Doors are open.
CEO: Let yourself in.
CEO: Doors are open.
CEO: Let yourself in.
People won't read it until they need it. So how do we better facilitate communication in the 11th hour?
That's the real question.
That's the real question.
[He shows up about ten minutes later and does in fact just let himself in. He's ditched the crutch - is on his old leg again, though it doesn't seem quite up to speed. He's limping, and listing to one side.]

[Points to a cube chair, not paying attention to the limp.]
Have a seat.
Have a seat.
Using a method that avoids using technology that can be tampered with as well, I would imagine.
[Sits himself down.]
I, uh. I hit up the library.
About the snake lady.

And I assume you found out something interesting or you wouldn't be here.
Or communicating in a way that is secure despite technology as a medium. But that's a trickier and more long term vision.
