People of Vatheon. As you know, these StarFish Communicators serve a crucial purpose as both a news bulletin and means of communication.

These things don't break easily. What did you do to them?

[obsequience]

I didn't do anything to them. They were caught in a small explosion.

[suckmylipstick]

Explosion!?

[obsequience]

It had next to no impact on the city of Vatheon, considering the presumably small radius it covered; thus, there is no need for concern.

[suckmylipstick]

That doesn't change the fact there was an explosion. What on Earth happened?

[obsequience]

A household appliance burst.

[suckmylipstick]

Your SFC was damaged during this occurrence?

[obsequience]

I wasn't there when it happened. The SFCs that were damaged belong to two other individuals.

[suckmylipstick]

That's dangerous. There are professionals who can repair them for you, I'm sure.

[obsequience]

No one was hurt as far as I am aware. At the least, there should be one or two technicians among the foreign populace . . .

[suckmylipstick]

I don't know of any.

[obsequience]

[That is not helping, Hajime.]

Vatheon houses a multitude of warriors, artists, and those of varying occupations. Surely, there should be a few with the minimal knowledge required for mechanical work.

[suckmylipstick]

[Hey, he's not here to help you. And he's only met idiots. Like really.]

If there are, I haven't met them yet.

[obsequience]

[That is an insult to the samurai warlords.]

It's of no consequence to you, I'm sure.

[Unless Hajime needs a technician for whatever reason.]

[suckmylipstick]

[Oh, yeah. I forgot about them. ]

It's nothing that shouldn't be kept in mind.

[obsequience]

[ . . . ]

Of course not.
