[Video] Latter half locked to Braves
[After his recent conversation with Kagerou, Deckard went looking for Drill Boy again. After all, there's not been anything he can do about the virus running around except avoid catching it. Though he HAS been on-call if anyone needs him. He made sure to tell people he was going out and to call him. In the meantime, he's searched all over Haven. He's searched all along the edges of the wastelands and even into them a little. Nothing. He came back to HQ for fuel and . . . can't help but be sure that he's found his answer.]
[It's not the one he wanted, though it's the one he knew deep in his heart was the truth.]
[The video comes on to him sitting at his desk with a monkey in his arms. He's opened his Link and...it still takes him a second to completely gather himself and manage to speak.]
Drill Boy . . . he's . . . I-I think he's . . .
[With a sudden scowl and shake of his head, he darts a hand forward to his Link and the video cuts. H-he can't.]
[Sorry . . . this is his first time losing someone. And it's one of his own. He can't help feeling that he's failed his team somehow, even though rationally he knows - he's been told - that this just happens sometimes and that there's nothing he could have done.]
[Several minutes later, there's a LOCKED video to McCrane, Power Joe, and Kagerou. He's regathered himself . . . though McCrane especially might notice that he looks a little too close, emotionally, to places he's been before. The look on his face is...a little on the hard side.He has really poor coping mechanisms for darker emotions like grief and abandonment.]
Brave Police, sound in.
...please.

Has something happened?

[There's silence on the other end for long enough that Kagerou might start to wonder if he's going to reply at all. But he finally does.]
Drill Boy's gone.

You're sure?

Here, I'll turn mine on too.
[And HELLO have a view of Deckard at his desk with a monkey in his lap.]

... I've never seen that before.

I hadn't either, but I did some digging after I found it. The one thing I do know for sure is that it belongs – belonged – to Drill Boy.

... I'm going looking.

[He's PRAYING the ninjabot will be more successful than he was . . . even as his heart "knows" otherwise.]
