// I don't know about what he should have known... just that those Protections weren't complete enough to keep me out. They were plenty strong, only just walls. I didn't exactly figure waking him up to ask him why his Protections sucked was such a good idea, you know? //
Blackstar's voice has grown wry with irritation, although it smooths out again as he continues.
// I'm not saying he was expecting ghosts. The Protections on the castle were woven to keep everything out. Ghosts, spirits, anything that can walk beyond your world. Walls of pure power, like a forcefield, only one that bites. That's all it was, though - walls. No top, no bottom. The top went up all the way, probably beyond the atmosphere; I didn't check. The bottom anchored into the bedrock, but it wasn't that far for me to go to slip past. //
// You know... they might not have even been his Protections, you know? I can see them because of what I am, where I exist. That's how I could see they weren't complete. Maybe he can't see them, just felt them and assumed they were good. You'll have to ask him if you catch him. //
His tone seems to decry that possibility. Blackstar's relatively certain that if Frostbite catches Dr. Mindbender, it'll be because she manages to find his body after Starscream's finished with him.
// Ah. We're on the same page there, then. Heh. Good. //
After a moment's pause, he continues, // Anything else? If not, whenever your other teams are ready to head out, I'm ready to shadow, if they need additional backup. //

After he reported in to the Commander, that is.

And then, silence.
