I don't understand it.

[Wow someone sounds upset. Again. Just when things were kind-of-sort-of looking up, too.]

We have a police force. We have a place to lock criminals away.

So what good is it if they just go free, and nothing's done to put them back! It's useless, isn't it!

[He's really upset right now, wow. Possibly with good reason... since there's a private message incoming.]

[PRIVATE MESSAGE TO: BRAVE POLICE UNITS]
There's another Ratchet here. He's... he's wrong. And he's interested in us.

Please. Tell me you're all right.

[Because he screwed up and attracted the crazy bot's attention. Oops.]

Unless the Firstforged return to free him.

That was how the one in that cell got out, last time.

[See: Overlord.]

[look at that, apparently scowls are audible!]

Then how do then expect us to--

[no. deep breaths, there's no real point pitching a fit over this right now.]

They're gone indefinitely for now, though. We can contain him and work on backup measures if one of the First Forged decide to let him out for no fragging reason.

[ok, he couldn't quite stop the anger coming through in those last two words.]

[He rubs idly at his Glyph, as he listens. Almost guiltily.]

If they really want to free him... what can we do?

They're demigods, they-

[can do what they want. have more control over everything than any of them ever will, no matter what. it was unpleasant to think about, but the unavoidable truth; if one of the first forged wanted a criminal out, they'd get out. the lives of everyone in the haven pretty obviously meant nothing to any of them.

there's a defeated sigh.] I don't know.

...

Neither do I.

I don't know if anyone here does.

It's not something that should be kept a secret if they do.

[off screen, he's clutching pearls like crazy.]

Hopefully if they're gone they won't be able to let anyone else out. That's all we can really hope for at the moment.

Hopefully. Yes.

Unless they come back, and do the same thing.

[another sigh. this is a shitty conversation.]

There's no point pretending they won't.

Then maybe the jail needs to be stronger. Somehow.

It does, but we lack the resources and mechpower.

I'll- look through the database and see what we can do. Just... be careful if you're going to be out alone.

The what-power?

I'm fine.

I doubt we have enough mechs around to properly build the right sort of containment. Resources are probably a bigger problem.

[no reply to the second part. l-let's not think about the future.]

None of you living robots know how to build anything?

What? I said resources were an issue. Ask Bulkhead, I'm sure he'd be glad to tell you how hard building something when you don't have the right materials.

Unless one of your boons lets you magic up metal out of thin air!

No.

Mine are related to memory.

[GREAT SO THEY'RE USELESS.]

Great, so don't presume things you don't know anything about.

Don't lecture me.

It's not lecturing, it's advice.

Your advice needs work.

[kagerou can't see it, but he's folded his arms indignantly.]

I told you not to do something that'll only make people angry with you. What part of that needs work?

Your tone. For one.

That's a joke, right?

No.

...This entire message suddenly made a lot more sense.

That's... good?
