Ugh, it's always handcuffs!

Someone come and get me out of these things; Blurr slapped some kind of cuffs on me and I can't even move now.

What a pain!

Something to finish this Prism business.

...Not yet? But. Look, awhile ago, Commissioner had these small versions of us made. I found the suitcase-- well. More like it found me, but anyway.

I want to make a small version of you. That way you aren't just sitting still in some container, you'll be able to move around and stuff. You'd just be doll-sized.

You meant to destroy it, then?

Small... versions. Of all of you.

[He should be surprised at that, but, really? The commissioner puts tigers on their chests and designed him to turn into the Batmobile -- even he can't be too surprised.]

I don't mind sitting still. Are you even able to... do what it is you're suggesting?

That was the idea, after we got you transferred.

Yep. Brilliant, huh. [Saejima, oh Saejima.]

I don't see why not. I'm not... as good as Toudou, but I watched him a lot. I think with some help from Ratchet and downloading some schematics of these mini-Police, it'll be easy enough.

Then you moved too soon.

[Since he's still in his own body and all.]

And doing this... The AI and my memories... they'll remain intact this way? All of them? Even if something happens to my real frame?

[A beat. He sounds -- embarrassed?]

He made all of you?

I was just gonna hold him at gunpoint before I took the shot. Relax. I had you in mind.

...I would make sure nothing about you changed, Kagerou. [He might not like you, but he respects the desire to live.] Memories and all, you'd be you. Just in a different body for awhile.

Mm, not all of us. But a lot of us. Chief designed me, but someone else put me together.

And if that only goaded him further?

[He really doesn't know how to take that. This one is very irritating, doesn't trust him, or even seem to like him whatsoever... but -- ]

[Gunmax stop making no sense.]

What am I supposed to say to that, without thanking you?

[Because that went over well last time.]

No. I mean... the small bodies. You're all there?

I would have dealt with it. Have a little faith, hm?

[Sorry, he's Sir Backwards Logic.]

...Say whatever you want. That's not my problem if you suck with words.

Oh, hm. Yeah, they're all there. There's even a little Yuuta doll.

It's difficult to do, when you've admitted to being caught in ... stasis cuffs?

[Sorry, reading through your responses like a ninja.]

... Thank you, then.

[AWKWARD SILENCE.]

Could I... see them?

Blurr's sort of a freak of speed, in case you never noticed.

[He really wasn't expecting to be thanked, to be totally honest.]

Uh. You're... fine, you're welcome. Or something.

[SOB.]

Yeah, whenever I can move again.

I haven't. I only noticed he spoke quickly. And a lot.

[Then again, by comparison, a rock speaks more than Kagerou on a good day.]

[Be grateful, Gunmax, he's not going to push the gratitude thing anymore.]

... Then when you can move, I'll be in the medbay still, I assume.

Well, he's also stupidly fast. There's no way I could out-maneuver him.

Sure. I'll bring 'em over then.

You would have to be more stealthy, then, if you wanted to get around him. If he can't sense you, he won't catch you.

...

Thank you.

So in other words, you.

Mm.

...

Or Shadowmaru, yes.

[Silence.]

I do owe you a favor by now, don't I?

[Shadowmaru isn't here, but he won't make the obvious statement. It'll hurt them both.]

Hmm, now that you mention it, I suppose you do.

And... I'm not police. Am I?

[He saw your chat with ~~your boyfriend~~ Deckerd down there.]

...You might as well be, but you're whatever you want to be. What about it?

[OH MY GOD NO.]

But I'm not. I was never meant to be.

...

When I can leave this repair bay. Tell me what you want.

I wasn't supposed to be, either. Funny how that works.

That's sort of a broad request, but all right.

Your situation and mine can't be similar.

You know what I mean.

The similarities end at "we weren't meant to be". I ended up with the Brave Police anyway.

Just giving you a hard time, shinewbie.

... And I didn't. Isn't that right?

Regardless. What I said... it still stands.

You still could, if you wanted. Deckerd wouldn't turn you away, and neither would Boss.

Right, right.

And they speak for everyone? What they decide... goes for the rest of you?

Boss is our boss, duh. Of course.
