Heh... find your powers lacking?

[unerringly]

Powers? I was talking about...a stray cat I found.

[compos_mentis]

Heh... right.

[unerringly]

And what would you know of it?

[compos_mentis]

You cat? Afraid I can't work without a description.

[unerringly]

If it's truly still around, there's one thing I've learned. Coming and going as it pleases is not something so easily changed.

If not...

[compos_mentis]

Yeah, sentient beings have a slight habit of free will.

[unerringly]

Sometimes it's quite unfortunate.

[compos_mentis]

I've known plenty of others who've thought like that, really... most of them arrogant children. A few of them arrogant adults. And perhaps one or two brilliant men.

[unerringly]

Well, it is hard to keep track of someone when they come and go without warning. That's why I find it troublesome. You sound like you've met some troublesome people yourself.

[compos_mentis]

Oh, a few. Though, to be honest, I'm usually the troublesome one.

[unerringly]

Is that so?

[compos_mentis]

Oh yeah, particularly before I got my current job.

[unerringly]

And what would that be?

[compos_mentis]

An agent of the Commonwealth Military Intelligence Sector-IV. Before you ask and give me more headaches, Sector-IV's for people with compromised identities, so I'm supposed to say it.

[unerringly]

The military, is it...
