[Hey, this is York. M'not around right now so leave a message.

If this is a client, please leave your details and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

If this is one of the others, I'll get back to you whenever.

If it's Florida, I didn't do it.
 

Aaaand if it's anyone else... Just leave a message. I'll get back to you if I recognise you. Or even if I don't, and you sound cute.]

Should we be talking prices?

[depthlesslock]

Prices of what?

[ambitious_muse]

Hello there, York. I wanted to call and thank you again for Sunday. In fact, I hear I should also thank you for helping my brother at Smithson's last week.

I've not yet had the chance to play that trick on the little ones, but I do have something else that might interest you: every month, the university hosts a vintage movie screening, and this weekend is a James Bond video--GoldenEye, I believe. I don't suppose you would be interested? We could even grab coffee afterward.

[depthlesslock]

You're welcome. For both. Small world for me to run into two of your family within a couple of days :) Well... five since I sort of met the little ones in the park.

Send me pictures or please do tell me about it when you do. As for the movie, are you kidding? James Bond?! Yes. Send me the time and date and I'll be there.

[protective_logic]

I know Friday evening, just before you're probably supposed to meet Sig isn't the best time to ask but... Are you free tomorrow afternoon?

[depthlesslock]

You beat me to my reminder poke. Good on you for that.

Yes, I'm free then. Want to meet up?

[ambitious_muse]

York? H-hey. It's Sigma. D'you have a minute? Things at home have fallen apart and I--I need to talk to someone.

[depthlesslock]

Sig? Yeah, of course I've got a minute. What's wrong?

[the_informant]

Got a client. Looking for a missing person. Guy apparently likes/frequents coffee shops. Figured since you're in them you could keep an eye out for me. There is a pan of my double-fudge brownies in it if you do. More if you find me info leading to him.

See folder uploaded to your command interface for details.

[Within moments of the message's arrival there is a ping with a file upload, titled 'Delta.' It's filled with all the information Florida learned from the client, including their contact information, and attached is a picture of Delta, only a few weeks old, looking petulant over a recent haircut.]

[depthlesslock]

Delta's gone missing? What happened?

Finding missing people isn't usually my style, Florida, but I'll make an exception here. Delta's a short term friend of mine and I definitely don't want him in danger. I'll look out for him.

[the_informant]

You know... I have found myself thinking and I have a question.

Where is Delta Ai?

[depthlesslock]

Well he hasn't been in any of the coffee shops I've been looking in for starters.

[protective_logic]

Thank you for your generosity. You won't have to lie anymore. I'm going home.

[depthlesslock]

You're going home? You're going back?

[ambitious_muse]

Hello, York. This is Sigma calling. I wanted to thank you--again--for coming to my aid on Saturday night. I. . . I don't know what I would have done without you. I hope I haven't frightened you off, and that Omega hasn't, for that matter.

[depthlesslock]

Hey, Sig. No worries, I'm glad I could help. Hope things are going better, or at least calmer, over there. It takes a lot more than that to scare me off, so I'm afraid you're stuck with me for now.

[ambitious_muse]

Now that Delta's home and settling back in, I have permission to use the living room. Would you like to come by for a movie this weekend?

[depthlesslock]

That was fast. Sure, I'd love to if everyone's okay with it. Don't want to rush D or you or anything.

Update after Maine's Saturday lunch date (yay timelines)

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

I understand you're dating Delta's younger brother. Does he know what you do for a living?

If not, you might want to tell him. Omega--my apprentice of sorts--knows.

Re: Update after Maine's Saturday lunch date (yay timelines)

[depthlesslock]

How did you find out?

And how did Omega find out?

[the_informant]

I need all-access keycards that will get me into this old office building by tomorrow evening. I don't care what it takes for you to do it. Just get the job done.

[Attached is a listing for a building and different bits of contact information and rough estimates on security levels.]

[depthlesslock]

You got it. 1700 hours do you for the exchange? What's the rate?

[the_informant]

A boyfriend?

[depthlesslock]

What?

[the_informant]

So.. Picking up Lou from doing something stupid and... Apparently your boyfriend was doing something stupid too. Wandering the factory area. He got cut up a little. We've patched him up, but he needs someone to get him home safely.

I can send you coordinates.

[depthlesslock]

Be there in 20.

[the_informant]

Let up off Tex. In the end I was going to find out about Sigma. It was a matter of when. And I have absolutely no intention of interfering with your love life, as I feel I've proved. Relax and remember she's part of this team. She's one of us and has a more mercenary personality than you do. Money is money to all of us.

So relax.

[depthlesslock]

I asked her not to. I specifically asked her not to tell you and then she deliberately went and did so just to piss me off because I wouldn't pay for silence. That's what I'm angry about.

I can't fucking relax and you know that. Not after everything. Not while Sigma's hurt.

[baruthumos]

All joking aside, you hurt my brother and I don't care who you are, what you've done, or where you hide, I will find you. I will kill you. I will feed your entrails to desert lizards and your friends won't even have a body to bury.

[depthlesslock]

While I'm glad you care about Sigma so much, might I suggest getting someone a bit more experienced to do the job for you? I'd rather you didn't go for one of the For Hires, there are other mercenaries and we don't like to go after each other. But at the moment, you couldn't take me down.

That said, I have no intentions of hurting Sigma at all so we should both be safe.

[protective_logic]

Can you tell me about Maine?

[depthlesslock]

I can, but you're going to have to be a bit more specific about what sort of thing you want.

[searchandrecovery]

Bro. So when do I get to meet the boyfriend?

[depthlesslock]

I dunno, man. I'm not sure I trust my delicate flame around the likes of you.

[soldierinblack]

You get the talk yet?

[depthlesslock]

Yep. And now I have a feeling I'm in for another one. Let me say now that I have absolutely no intention of harming Sigma or any of the other Ais.

[ambitious_muse]

Hey, you. Just got out of an exam and thought I'd say hi. So. . . hi?

[depthlesslock]

Hey, Flame. Good to hear you. How'd the test go?

[baruthumos]

D's willing to talk to the base medics. Have you brought it up with them yet?

[depthlesslock]

I have and they're willing to look and see if there's anything they can do.

[ambitious_muse]

So, are you doing anything this Friday?

[depthlesslock]

Possible job, but the date hasn't been confirmed yet. Why?

[soldierinblack]

Can I have the information for the doctor you're setting Delta up with?

[depthlesslock]

I just introduced him to the base doctors. So...

[Files on all base medics attached]

[protective_logic]

So I showed Smithson my new tools. He's REALLY happy that I'm serious enough about this to have tools.

[depthlesslock]

Awesome! Do you know if he's going to take you on full time yet?

[protective_logic]

So... I got some free time to go into the helmet shop recently and... I got to put in a locator mod all on my own and I used your tools and it was awesome.

[depthlesslock]

Hey, no way! You're starting to put mods in on you're own already? Damn, D, you're getting good fast! Glad you've been able to use the tools :D

5/24 - Late Night

[protective_logic]

[A call, many hours after their last conversation. Delta's voice is highly strained and clearly bordering on panic.]

So that doctor friend of yours? The one who was going to help me with my implants? Can you kindly contact her and tell her that I won't be needing her services next Friday? Turns out my doctor can have me in sooner for the repairs.

[Anyone half good at reading people would easily pick up that there is clear lying going on.]

Re: 5/24 - Late Night

[depthlesslock]

What? You said they wouldn't be able to get you in for several weeks. Possibly even months! What's going on?
