[ cell phone call to Genesis ]

[tracedmemories]

[ She's getting better at this. This time she even waits for him to greet her after he picks up. ]

[ Genesis answers on the third ring, and he won't deny that he's rather surprised when given the chance to greet her properly. ]

Shelke. Can I help you?

[tracedmemories]

Genesis Rhapsodos.

I am in need of your assistance.

Furthermore, I would like to propose an irrigation system for your...

...

Living quarters.

[scarleteden]

[ A breath -- perhaps a sigh -- can be heard on the other end of the line, before he responds-- ]

Propose away.

[ There's a pause. ]

... Mm, you mentioned assistance? What is it that you need me to do?

[tracedmemories]

The plans are comprehensive in nature and are not easily expressed over the phone. It would be more efficient to show you in person.

...

Ah--

[ Shelke pauses here. She may or may not have devised and designed an irrigation system to put most governments to shame purely to distract Genesis from the fact that she needs his help. After a few moments of silence on Shelke's end, she finally forces it out with great reluctance. ]

I... require transportation to the nearest intact Mako reactor.
