[Croix is back in his little townhouse, and clearly annoyed by this fact. He even sighs before he actually speaks for the CAT.]

If I knew I would only have that long back home, I don't think I would have bothered.

[Annoyed, but... well, apparently not surprised. He shakes his head.]

Who else is here? Maybe we should talk. [slight hesitation] Is anyone going to go see the dedication celebration?



((OoC: if you'd rather run into him face-to-face, that's cool! We can just set up a thread and say it's elsewhere. ♥))

[desertdaggers]

Yeah. That's always good to know.

[he nods, tucking his hands into his sash] We don't know what whoever's around this time has in mind, after all.

[grandbellknight]

[He nods.] It could be anything. And actually, we never did find Resarci, which is worrying as well.

[desertdaggers]

Yeah. If he came back, and tried to claim control…

…do you have any idea if he could do that?

[grandbellknight]

It's possible. [He shakes his head.] I'm sorry, Hawk. I wish I had better answers for everyone. Agent Washington and I found a few leads, but in the end we were just too late.

[desertdaggers]

[He presses his lips together for a few moments, looking away, then shakes his head, trying to smile.] I'm sure you did all you could, though. That's… I'm sorry to hear that. What kind of things did you find, though?

[grandbellknight]

We found out he had storage space, and that it was recently accessed. But.. by the time we got to it, everything important was already gone and the rest was to be destroyed. The only thing we salvaged from the blast site was a prototype CAT, but it doesn’t work. [He shakes his head.] So... a few more questions, and not enough answers.

[desertdaggers]

Damn. [He purses his lips.] That's… what a pain. And- I suppose whoever was in charge of making sure everything got destroyed just had those orders, did they?

So it's just… [he gestures at his own CAT] …the bits and pieces that make it up physically?

[grandbellknight]

Yeah, it's definitely a pain... [Sigh.]

It is. [he nods.] There are a few very minor differences, but it's definitely still a CAT. I guess they changed some things before they gave them to us.

[desertdaggers]

[nods] Probably… probably hard to tell what changes they made, too.

[grandbellknight]

Not without knowing exactly what all of the components do for sure, yeah. It also doesn’t help that it doesn’t work at all, so we wouldn’t even know if it operates similarly.

[desertdaggers]

Yeah. If one of us could work out how to make it work… the Doctor, maybe. But I haven't seen much of him, and- well. If it's on the wrong side…
