[ ever since the swap came into effect, Cassandra's been looking over her previous broadcasts and conversations, as well as monitoring the current state of things. Needless to say, she isn't best pleased. It's dim wherever she is when the video comes on, but not so dark that it's impossible to tell that she looks older. Different, somehow. The

...WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SAYING PLEASE?

[trustisaghost]

The thought never occurred to me.

[mechabadass]

YOU PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF IT BEFORE BEATING UP AND THREATENING RANDOM PEOPLE. OTHERS WOULD HAVE BEEN FORTHCOMING.

BUT HERE'S A FAIR SHAKE. IF I TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THOSE TWO AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE HERE, WILL YOU LET YOUR HOSTAGE GO?

[trustisaghost]

If it's adequate information, of course. I'm not a liar.

[mechabadass]

GOOD. NOW THAT WE'VE GOT THAT OUT OF THE WAY...

[He'd be jumping up to fight you normally, but given how strange the situation is, he's figuring it miiiiiight not be a good idea just yet. He will, however, try and trace the location of Cassandra's PDA with the power of his own internal system, satellites, cell phone towers and other technical wireless systems he doesn't really know the names of and doesn't really care about because he's not a nerd.]

AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE'S NO ONE BY THE NAME OF DAVID CAIN, FIRST OFF. THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE'S NOT HERE, BUT IF HE IS, HE'S NOT GOING BY THAT NAME. AND HE'S NOT TALKING ON THE PDA.

[trustisaghost]

“He might be here or he might not.”

I hope for her sake that you have some better information than that.

[mechabadass]

WELL, JUST GOING BY THE PDA THEN, HE'S NOT HERE.

IF HE WAS HERE, HE WOULD HAVE CONTACTED YOU BY NOW IN SOME WAY, RIGHT?

[trustisaghost]

The very opposite. He'd be hiding, and with good reason.

[mechabadass]

...HE'S NOT A MAD SCIENTIST BY ANY CHANCE, IS HE?

[trustisaghost]

No. An assassin.

Would it make any difference?

[mechabadass]

FOR ME, IT DOES, ACTUALLY.

ASSASSINS DON'T NORMALLY TRY AND BLOW THE WORLD UP FOR THEIR DAY JOB, FOR ONE.

[trustisaghost]

That's wonderful, but we aren't here to discuss you.

[mechabadass]

RIGHT.

LIKE I SAID, THOUGH. GOING BY THE PDAS, DAVID CAIN'S NOT HERE.

[trustisaghost]

Thank you for answering, I suppose.

[mechabadass]

NO PROBLEM. WAY BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE. ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON ALL AROUND.

[The alternative being someone getting lasered in the face somehow. Sometimes talking with your mouth was better than talking to your fists, right? Oh god he's turning into Sally, sob]
