I'm sorry, I do not. But something that belonged to me?

[Private to Ginia // Unhackable]

[brig_gen_maes]

Your original PCD. I believe you have a new one, but the old one has a lot of data on it. I didn't go through it much, only enough to ascertain who it belonged to.

[Private to Maes // Unhackable]

[shadedsunlight]

My original PCD?

...I'm at [x:y]. If I don't answer the door, tell whoever answers it you have something to give me.

[Private to Ginia // Unhackable]

[brig_gen_maes]

Yes.

I'm on my way. I will.

...Photolab? Why do you need a photolab?

[Video] Hooray doting fathers!

[brig_gen_maes]

I enjoy taking pictures!

It was a hobby I started when my precious daughter was born back in my world. She's the perfect subject for photos! Some of the pictures came with me.

She's not here, but I need to keep in practice so that Daddy will still be ready at any second to preserve the moment! That, and it's fun to drive Roy up the wall with new pictures.

...I HAVE A DAUGHTER TOO.

LET'S BE BFFS.

YOU DO? YOU MUST SHARE PICTURES, AND I WILL DO LIKEWISE.

LET'S!

Lieutenant Co

Maes!

I'm so glad you're okay...! I was worried you'd disappeared like some of the others...

[brig_gen_maes]

I'm sorry, Al. I needed to check into things without any distractions, and I turned off my PCD. But I've since heard that Zedd is gone, so I don't suppose it mattered in the end.

How are you doing?

[bloodseal_soul]

... from the looks of things, Zedd didn't actually kill Ginia... he just... hid her, somehow, but making us think she was dead. I managed to get most of what happened out of him, and he apologized to me, but... I didn't forgive him in time, before he disappeared.

I'm all right. I'm just glad you're okay. I missed you a lot while you were gone.

[brig_gen_maes]

That... fits. Very well, actually, into what he told me and what I've found myself. I have a chest for you two, by the way, from him. It's got his research on this world. I'm glad he apologized... and you can never forgive someone too late.

I missed you too, but I needed to focus. How's the kitten doing? And your brother and mother and Roy?

[Private to Hughes]

[braided_genius]

Hughes! There you are! I thought- I thought you'd disappeared too. I still have that chest you left with me, no one knows about it yet. Not even Al. I have to show him sometime.

It looks like he filled you in on the Ginia incident, but... you know Lily? S-she turned out to be Envy, a homunculus from our world.

You remember from Lab 5, right? The drawings I showed you?

...I'm really glad you're back, you know....

[Private to Ed]

[brig_gen_maes]

Oh, good. I wanted to make sure you boys got it. I'm sorry for somewhat disappearing, I had a job to do.

...she... I'm sorry, Edward. I think you were getting attached to her too... so she would be the shapeshifter that's been moving around Central? We had too many reports for that to be a coincidence. I know it relates to Douglas... but that's enough on that. I do remember those drawings.

Thanks, Edward. I'm glad to see you too.

[Private to Hughes]

[braided_genius]

It's fine, I get it. Just glad you're back, is all.

...It's nothing to be sorry over, nobody knew. Yep, that's the one. I'm sure I don't need to remind you how dangerous he is. He's arrived here and caused nothing but trouble already. I'd try and just stay clear of him, if I were you.

Thanks...

[Private to Ed]

[brig_gen_maes]

Thanks, Edward.

I can still sympathize. I know how getting your heart broken can hurt. You spent... a lot of time with her.

I'll keep that in mind and be wary of him. Of course, it might be hard to avoid a shapeshifter.

You're welcome.
