[Well, Lelouch might have gotten to know Daniel well enough by now to realize that the incredibly rude tone of annoyance is actually directed not at Lelouch, but at the forge itself:]

Meant as a private diagnostic.

[trephaestos]

Yes. Thanks.

[Though possibly the fact that someone has responded is what is making it impossible for him to go back and fix the lock. Like a foot in the door. Unable to confirm that-will have to test filters unresponded-can't really chew him out for it.]

How's your own work coming.

[Voice]

[trephaestos]

Good.

[Less good at keeping up a diversionary line of conversation. …Any line of conversation. If for its own sake.]

Evidence inconclusive it was the Mist. It did start when I arrived here. Having recently been burned.

[only sharing notes. Trepkos types. An image pops up on Lelouch's screen: a still picture of Trepkos's blackened face from an earlier forge broadcast. Not the video itself as that's just… unprofessional.]

[trephaestos]

Would've been handier before getting burned. Didn't help after. Just hasn't happened again.

Just as likely it's something they did to me at the Clinic. They claim not. That… holistic… alternative voodoo doctor they've got there showed me what he did to me on other patients. But it's still got more basis than blaming Mist.

Assumption of intent.
