[Occasionally Anon wasn't sure that he was still himself. Or that he was more himself. It was confusing, and he refused to think about it anymore. He was supposed to act, anyway, and now he was acting on his master's behest. Find the ones that Clu won't want and subdue them. Easy mission objective. Corrupt, hurt, destroy. Clarity that helped him ignore the pain except when he was himself... less himself... something. Then he couldn't escape it, but that was the point wasn't it? It taught him and he understood ( ... )

[Gibson really needs to learn how to watch the rooftops.

He rocks back half a step, fully prepared to run if he has to. He's got his baton--possibly the only sensible thing he did before coming to R07--but the side street they're on is just a hair too narrow to use a lightcycle in. His best (and only) option at this point is to just sprint the other way until he reaches the main avenue, rezz his lightcycle, and get out of here... but he has to try something else first.]

Anon. [Despite the phrasing, it's not really a question; Gibson's not even sure he can snap Anon out of this, but he has to at least try.]

[Anon needs to learn the same skill. It's okay.

He relaxes his stance, obviously confident here. He has his skill with a disc, he's fast, he's agile. Gibson is not going to escape him, even if he has to tackle the ISO's lightcycle. There is no other course of action here.

At name, he pauses and tilts his head, advancing a step. Well, as long as they're agreeing to each other's names...]

Gibson.

[Gibson takes another step back in response, this one much hastier than the first. He's well aware of just how screwed he is if this turns into a straight-up fight, which is why he intends to get out of here as quickly as he can. He doesn't quite unhook his baton yet, but in just another couple of steps...]

You don't have to do this.
