[Oh, look!]

[Ambulon sounds a little... tired. Actually, very tired. But it's not really a physical exhaustion. Either way, he keeps his tone level if a bit curt and hollow.]

I'll be scarce around the clinics the next few days. Sorry for my inconvenient absence.

[LOCKED TO THE POLICE FORCE/LAW COMMITTEE (yes, even Tarn can see this)]

I do not remember how I died, but I do remember the hours leading up to it. Tarn is the one responsible. Or am I going to have to provide some sort of evidence? You may not have seen him in the... recording. But he was there.

If you need any sort of statement or report, I can give you that. Just... give me a little time. [He's got to scrape the remains of Splat off the floor--thanks, Tarn.]

Needless to say, reconsider keeping him on your committee.

[LOCKED TO SOLUS]

It seems I've lost my upgrades, but... I still owe you a favor.

[LOCKED TO NEXUS]

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but may I get another room?

True. [She can't help but chuckle, shaking her helm.] But he'd probably keep watch if you asked him...

[Ambulon's silence has Elita tilting her helm, pursing her lips in thought, but it doesn't feel like a bad silence, and then she smiles again.]

It's the truth, Am. You're here, aren't you? And I don't mean because of the strange... ressurrection that is present here, I mean that you're here now.

[Struggling or not.]

[Oh, no, you called him by 'Am'. HIS SPARK GIVES A STRANGE PULSE.]

Yeah. I'm here.

But I do think... I don't think I'm all here. There's this... It's hard to explain. A small void. I don't... know. But it's like, not... all of me returned.

[So adorable, Ambulon.]

Because... [She pauses, considering what Ambulon's actually saying and what they know (not much) of the way ressurrection works here.] it was a terrible thing, and it's weighing on you, or because... of the ressurrection itself?

[She could see one or the either, and both.]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I don't know. I can't explain it. It's just... sitting there. This emptiness. Like some sort of tumor, or whatever you call it. [sighs] But I'm sure that will heal over time... [No, he's not sure, BUUUUT]

[Audio]

[invisiblepinkboat]

Hopefully it does go away... If not, you may want to ask the Firstforged you're aligned to, if it has anything to do with the resurrection. Just so you know.

[It might be from what had happened, of course, but covering the more straightforward - so to speak - bases first.]

[Audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Will do. Thanks again, Elita. [He really means it.]

[Audio]

[invisiblepinkboat]

No problem at all, Am. [That smile of hers can definitely be heard in her voice.] Just do your best to stay among the functioning. I'll be by tomorrow.
