[obsequience]

[The feed catches the recorder mid-phrase, the sound initially faint before growing gradually louder as the screen focuses on a figure clad in blue with a generic (sentai) helmet that covers the top half of his face. One may recognize the voice as that of a certain co-founder of the Defense Force, but he's not about to admit to that identity so

[....

You know, it's taking Train all he can not to burst out laughing at this-he knows it's you, Hubert.

Still, he somehow manages to keep a straight face-]

I think that last bit kinda ruined the announcement.

[This curse is awesome and he's so going to laugh later.]

[obsequience]

[No.

Train was not meant to see this. Ever. Curse it.

Hubert recognizes his voice and freezes up for a very, very brief moment before responding with the SFC still at his side, still making his way down the hall:]

. . . She has a way of including herself in virtually any matter.

[sweepered]

So does that mean the Undersea Bubble Corps has to love showers too?

[obsequience]

[ . . . ]

No. But that would be preferred over hating them.

[sweepered]

So she's helping you out!

[obsequience]

I suppose, in a sense.

[sweepered]

You should have her in all of your broadcasts!

[obsequience]

I don't believe I have to try for that to occur.

[sweepered]

Great! So you're all set~

[obsequience]

. . . something to that effect, yes --

[Then the screen rocks back and forth at his side from Hubert running into a wall while turning a corner.

Should've calculated the depth better than that.]

[sweepered]

[... Okay so he may or may not be snickering at that-]

[obsequience]

[Can he just run inside the wall and hide there.

There is a long, long silence and no movement from Hubert whatsoever for a good minute. Then he carries on like nothing happened.]

As I was saying . . .

[sweepered]

[lol no.

TRAIN WILL BE HELPFUL AND CONTINUE THAT SENTENCE FOR HIM.]

-before you crashed into the wall...?

[obsequience]

[NO. Hubert is not pleased.]

Yes, before that.

[sweepered]

[A snicker]

So what were you saying?

[obsequience]

That woman is adamant about including herself in whatever she sees fit, as well as taking her leave when she desires. That is, she lives without considering the consequences.

[There, can they stop talking about his humiliating mistake earlier.]
