[The sounds send a fresh shiver through his systems - the mad burbling laughter plus the threat. This is far from the first time someone has threatened to kill him, but it is the first time it's come from an ally - or anyway, he wanted to consider Kagerou, the "normal" Kagerou, an ally. This is even worse than that time Power Joe had been made to turn on them, those programming sisters making him see monsters in place of his teammates.]

[He's frustrated because he doesn't know what to do. He doesn't how to fix this! Normally, he'd wrestle the frustration back, but now he embraces it - carefully, not letting it get away from him, but just enough to keep the edge in his voice that is so foreign to him normally but that he so desperately needs right now. He glares into the shadows around and above him.]

Report, Kagerou. I never got your report from your last mission. [He's assuming there was a "last mission" - some of what the ninjabot said earlier indicated as much.] I will be very displeased if you don't show yourself and answer me.
