We have a problem.

[Filtered to Muraki]
Tell me, what was your exact profession again...?

[Written/Filtered to Shego]
Hello. It's me, Mr. Many. How are you?

[Filtered to Rinzler]
I have a job for you. Interested?

... hnn. It seems one of our has gone home.

Just because it's peace time doesn't mean we should let ourselves get rusty. With that in mind, I intend to build a training center in the city. This will eventually become our HQ as well. If you want me to include anything specific, tell me now.


Would anyone be interested in cybernetics?

I'm offering to build augmentations of any kind, and there's nothing too simple or too complex for me so don't hesitate to speak up. If you have a problem, I can fix it.

Ah four words that really make my day.

I'm a criminal consultant. A man who can give people what they want via illegal activities.

Why do you ask?

Moriarty

[cheerupemoborg]

You're not the only one. Remember those nanites?

ooc: oops that was for muraki, sorry :0

Hank Henshaw

[jimfromit]

I remember.

Technical problems?

ooc: Whoops sorry, still getting used to reading this on my phone

Moriarty

[cheerupemoborg]

You could say that, yes. They don't seem to last long enough.

Hank Henshaw

[jimfromit]

Come on then...dish the details.

How long do they last?

Moriarty

[cheerupemoborg]

It seems to vary. A few hours to a couple of weeks.

Something is burning them out too quickly, most likely Paradisa itself. Must not like us playing with its property.

Hank Henshaw

[jimfromit]

It's against the rules for any of Paradisas pets to have any kind of power.

So the question remains...can you fix it?

Or do we need to bring in additional support?

Moriarty

[cheerupemoborg]

I've tried to fix it. It's just so random. We can still put them to use, but we'll have to be careful about how we do it, and who they're used on.

Hank Henshaw

[jimfromit]

I think it's best we keep all future operations on a tighter, more carefully organised schedule.

This development might be irritating but it's not the end of the world.

Hank

[madetosin]

A doctor with a specialty in transplant surgery. I have some experience in the study of genetics as well.

Muraki

[cheerupemoborg]

Do you frequent the clinic?

Hank

[madetosin]

I work there some days, yes. Why do you ask?

Muraki

[cheerupemoborg]

I need you to do something for me. If you ever get a chance to collect blood samples from residents, throw them my way.

Hank

[madetosin]

I've been meaning to do something similar. Unfortunately there's been little opportunity to contrive a reason to collect any.

What is it that you're working on?

Muraki

[cheerupemoborg]

A genetic database of the castle. I could put it to good use.

Plus, I'd like to see if there's any correlation between genetics and who the castle chooses to bring in.

Anyway, there's something else I want to know. How does your magic... well, work?

Hank

[madetosin]

Ah, a very intriguing hypothesis. I'd be happy to help, then. It may be slow work, considering visits to the clinic are infrequent.

As for my magic, you'll have to be more specific.

Muraki

[cheerupemoborg]

Thank you.

Okay... does your power have anything to do with the 'soul'?

Mr. Many

[wantsiceland]

Not too bad. Yourself?

Shego

[cheerupemoborg]

Well enough. However, I appear to have a severe case of boredom.

Shego

[wantsiceland]

Oooh, that's too bad. I wonder if I can help with that.

Mr. Many

[cheerupemoborg]

Oh, you can. I want to put on a show. However, we'll need... volunteers.

Mr. Many

[wantsiceland]

Got it. Names?

Shego

[cheerupemoborg]

Oh, no names. Any towns person off the street will do. It's the timing that matters.

Mr. Many

[wantsiceland]

What's our main goal here?

Shego

[cheerupemoborg]

Have much of the journal's history have you gone back and read?

[Answering questions with questions, yes.]
