Z is back.  He's wearing Aurelius' body, and he's exhausted and mourning and there are plans to be made, but tonight he is simply going to be back, back with his people, his family, his loves.

Dom stops right inside the door to Z's rooms.

"That's... very disconcerting."

Is it you, really?

I never do.

Grin.

I have to say, it's odd hugging your boss.

Ah... heh. You've been taking a look around in there, haven't you? *taps Z/Auri's forehead*

*smiles* That's my job. Don't worry, your secret's safe with me.

"I can't imagine that he's cooperating..."

"Not so much, no."

Sigh. Lean, but only a little. It's Auri, for Chrissake, even if it's Z in his head.

"Don't do that again, huh...?"

I'll try not to.

"What you do need to do is find yourself. This is disturbing..."

He kept looking at Z/Auri, wondering if he should apologize to his boss or giggle maniacally.

Z leeeans. "I put myself in a cell back in the Shop. I'm safe enough."

"What are you planning to do about that?"

He glances at Z sideways, worried.

"We'll have to talk about that."

"I have time right now."

As things stand, the Organization is very disturbed about our defection. They currently believe that Aurelius is out here to retreive us, because the prisoner Z has given in. If he fails, as I understand it, I'm supposed to be executed and four CIA teams will be dispatched to the Nexus to 'cleanse' the security breach while Facility Twelve is dismantled and the employees disposed of. This part is out of Aurelius's hands, so out of mine, too.

"To prevent this, all I can think is that we have to go back." Z kept speaking, expecting an uproar. "If we return, I can use Aurelius to protect us. He'll be allowed to keep his autonomy over the facility, and he's no longer any sort of threat to us." Because you'll cooperate, Auri, or I'll make sure you never have another thought of your own volition again.
