Guess things are back to normal, after the costume week I'm pretty glad for that. Everybody holding up ok out there?

[Filter to M]
Ran into your friend, or talked to him anyway. I don't like the vibe I get from him. I'm going to try and call in a few favors from some people I know just to be sure someone has your back. [Yeah, sorry M, she's not big on protocol, she's not asking you she's just doing you the courtesy of letting you know.]

How would you guys feel about a real job for a change?

[Filter to Delta]
Delta, need to bounce a tech question off someone and of course you are the first big brain I thought of.

If can not be a bitch for those same five minutes... done.

[hatesgoodbyes]

See? Like most guys you can't even last five minutes.

[originalcopy]

What... hey, who said we were starting just then? Aren't you supposed to give me some sort of countdown or something...

[hatesgoodbyes]

I asked you nicely, even fucking said please. What part of that was unclear?

[originalcopy]

Ok ok... fine. Let me try again.

[hatesgoodbyes]

What? Why?

[originalcopy]

Because I want to try again... I can do it.

[hatesgoodbyes]

Ok, fine. Starting now.

[originalcopy]

Right, five minutes. I got this.

[hatesgoodbyes]

Ok. So...what did you want to talk about?

[originalcopy]

Oh, uh... so what are you trying to hire people to do?

[hatesgoodbyes]

Not somuch hire as get people together for a protection detail.

[originalcopy]

Who are you protecting?

[hatesgoodbyes]

Offering to help or just being curious?

[originalcopy]

Both?

[it's also an excuse to talk more]

Church

[She threw up the filter before going further.]

There's a woman here, goes by M. She was stuck as York when we were all playing dress up.

There's some guy after her and... He reminds me of Meta and Omega. I know the feeling of someone who thinks you owe them part of you and they intend to get it no matter what. [There's an uncomfortable sigh and lengthy pause there.]

Just not looking to let that happen to someone else.

Tex

[originalcopy]

Count me in then.

[because if someone reminds her of that creepy fucker Omega then of course he's going to help.]

Who or what is Meta?

[hatesgoodbyes]

[How did he not know..]

The Meta is what happens when Freelancer A.I.s go bad. He made Omega look like a kid pulling on pigtails.

That's what this guy is like, he has an agenda and he won't stop, he's driven to get what he wants.

[originalcopy]

[Because you never told him and neither has anyone else.]

Ugh, that bad huh.

[muttered grumbling about how much he dislikes the Freelancer program. It seems like he's always learning something new and fucked up about it.]

So some nutjob is after this M person... [He only met M once and she went by Emma. Chick has too many names.]

[hatesgoodbyes]

Yeah, pretty fucking bad. But at least he is human with no armor.

[So that makes him just a normal garden variety psycho.]

This particular nut job. And I don't intend on letting him get to her. York is with me on this one, getting some of the other Spartans and hopefully the Freelancers in.

[originalcopy]

Just your average psycho then... well, that's a nice switch.

[hatesgoodbyes]

Hey Church, thanks. For helping and you know, five minutes.

[originalcopy]

No problem.

Told you I could do it.

[hatesgoodbyes]

Yeah well, apparently nothing is completely impossible.
