WELL THIS SEEMS FAMILIAR
[The entirety of this post is filtered away from children, as well as goody two-shoes heros that have things like MORAL CODES and ETHICS and those awful things. If you're not sure who falls into what category, just ask! Hackability may be debatable in cases of technopaths, but that's the extreme.]
I was so hoping that this could just be ignored. Apparently somebody with a little too much time and power has other plans.
[Yeah, she sounds infuriated. And maybe even just the tiniest bit nervous, but it's unlikely to be obvious enough to be picked at.]
The item in question that was retrieved for me some time ago never actually made it back to me, due to... unforeseen circumstances. I happen to know that it was left in a secure place, but I don't know how much longer it will remain a secret.
The issue is that I still need it. And the problem of my corporeally challenged status remains a barrier.
I can't do this for myself. But, more importantly, it is very much in your best interests that said item -- the disk -- does not fall into the wrong hands. Those being any hands other than my own, frankly.
And if that's not enough, I can make it worth your while, as the last time. A good deed should be its own reward, but if you happen to want some extra money, or a change of your powers, well. That might be feasible.
[A short pause.]
