The Fifteenth

[commissioner_da]

Finitevus! What  have you done to Kragok?!

All those who wanted to aide us - FIND HIM AND BRING ME HIS HEAD!

Mm...I should warn you - I don't like such imperative-sounding orders. But I shall search for him nonetheless for my own reasons of course.

[commissioner_da]

My brother was struck by him and may never awaken,so forgive me for sounding impatient!

[fire_cadence]

Ah, but you see, you must stay calm. You don't want to allow Finitevus the satisfaction of knowing he has gotten to you so easily, hmm?

[commissioner_da]

He got to me already when this all started.This was another nail in the0 coffin.

[fire_cadence]

My, it sounds to me you're on the losing side of this situation with Finitevus. Haven't you ever wanted to make him suffer the way you have?

[commissioner_da]

Of course I do,but its hard to do when he cant be found!

[fire_cadence]

Then perhaps you need some bait. Don't forget that he's probably expecting you to have everyone thoroughly rifling through the compound for him - at least, if his intelligence is equivalent to his strength. Otherwise, it's possible he'll only make his appearance when he wants to present himself, which is to, perhaps, further whatever plan he has in mind.

[commissioner_da]

He wont come out in the open for anything,he already knows about those after him.

There is nothing he wants that can be used as bait. How do you trap a man who longs for total destruction!

[fire_cadence]

Well, now, use your head. Someone who wants destruction craves only one thing. Can you guess what that is?

[commissioner_da]

I don't have time for riddles.

[fire_cadence]

Heh, is that what you think this is? I'm merely trying to exercise your wits, which I'm sure you're more than capable of.

Power. That is exactly what Finitevus would find appealing, wouldn't you say?

[commissioner_da]

...

The only way to give him more power would be to remove the cuffs.

[fire_cadence]

Mm-hmm...exactly! See where this is heading?

[commissioner_da]

...That is unbelievably risky.

[fire_cadence]

No risk, no gain, hmm? Or would you rather continue searching...hoping that perhaps, eventually, we'll all be able to find him. Heh, makes you wonder just how much time you can afford to waste...

[commissioner_da]

...A last resort.
