[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.]

I'm well aware of what he did and how unfair that was, York. And I swear to you that I'm going to do my best to keep that from happening again. I wouldn't lie to you about that. And I know it has to be work from everyone, not just from you. What I'm saying is that if I can get him to reach out, if I can get him to agree to try, I need you to be there, ready to take the hand he offers. Sigma NEEDS that. Because it can't be you against his older siblings who he adores.

Because, frankly, no one wins if it comes down to that. No one.

I promise I'll do every last thing I can to foster this peace. Broker it even. But both sides have to make concessions. And there has to be a talk. A face to face talk in a place you'll be comfortable, where the group of us can try and get this to work. For your sake. For Sigma's sake. And for Omega's sake.

[A long sigh]

...I'll try. If we -an even just g-get on better terms, it'll be easier for everyone and I c-can stop avoiding him at base, whi-sh would be nice. I don't enjoy things being li-e this, I don't want this t-to be something always hanging over us and, G-God forbid, I don't ever want Si-g-gma to feel li-e he has to -oose between the two of us. So if he's willing to try and someone's there to k-keep things -alm, I'll try.

From:

protective_logic

Thank you. That means a lot to me, and it will mean more to Sigma. Besides, it is probably a good idea to connect with the guy that is going to work to protect you. Save you. Heal you.

depthlesslock

That's one of the reasons I didn't c-cut him off after the first time, he's meant to be a t-teammate. But I won't -o on missions with him yet. Not until I know I -an trust him.

From:

protective_logic

Which makes getting to know him even more important.

May I ask about Tex?

From:

depthlesslock

Yeah, I know. When do you want to do this thing?

There was an... incident. Between us. A while ago.

From:

protective_logic

Tell me about it first, so I can understand this Texas thing.

From:

depthlesslock

It's... not something I tal-k-k about easily.

From:

protective_logic

I can't help with what I don't understand.

From:

depthlesslock

...Fine. But I'll probably need a breather afterwards.

We have this thing called the CMC. It stands for Centralized Mission C-Control and it basi-ally lets us know who's ta-ing what jobs with who so we don't c-clash. Te-k-s and I are the reason that system is so stri-c-ct.

Almost two years ag-go, I took-k a job to break-k into... into Enc-cost. It shouldn't have been all that hard: in, g-get what I needed, out. But... I don't know e-sa-tly what happened, but my theory is that my employer was too loud on what he was planning. Te-k-s was employed by En-c-cost around the same t-time since they were worried something li-e this was g-going t-to happen and she heard they were g-going to be bro-en into, she let them know and helped set the trap whi-sh, when I tried to g-get into their c-computer systems, literally blew up in my face.

[A long pause, punctuated by deep, slightly shaky breaths]

I... I lost my eye be-ause of your sister, Delta. And the funny thing is that I don't really blame her. She was only d-doing what she'd been paid t-to do, just li-e I was. I c-can't hold that ag-gainst her, but st-til some part of me does and I've been trying to g-get past that but... so far I haven't been able to.

From:

protective_logic

I'm... I'm so sorry.

From:

depthlesslock

Understand now?

...That sounded harsh, I didn't mean t-to sound harsh. Sorry. I was genuinely as-ing. Jus- in -ase you d-didn't... I-I'm -onna shut-t up now.

From:

protective_logic

I understand. And as painful as it must be to hear, steps must be made there. Or we must try. She's important to him.

From:

depthlesslock

A-tually not as painful as you might thin-. I've sort of been wanting to ma-e things better between us, I just haven't been brave enough t-to do it. Re-ardless of Si-ma, she's my t-teammate.
