[His eyes are peeking betwixt ungloved fingers, wide and wild. Edward does not blink throughout the entire transmission, but his pupils are consistently darting to and fro, darting about at a hummingbird’s pace. He looks disheveled, wretched and yet glowing with some intangible, nigh-golden force.]

I can—I have tried—over these past few hours—youhavetounderstanditisalotto—

[A pause. He seems captivated by something; he takes a deep, sensual breath.]

Cameron—who? Their safety—John and—and—Kyle and GLaDOS and who--? That can’t stop the cold. The lonely—that feeling won’t—look, I’m sorry—

[Grabs at the communicator, shaking it.]

Don’t. Don’t ignore this. The Porter—Don’t attack. I can see it, feel it, God it’s almost like being it, Alastair, don’t yield to that—It can’t end well—bloody hell, someone stop him! Someone stop it.

[A crack in his voice; the strain is apparent.]

Desire. Please. Stop it.

What? NO! Bakura, I'm not going to let you put yourself in danger! You knew what it would be like, and I said I was ready for it. I am. Too many people are too many liabilities.

You've helped plenty. Let me do the hands-on.

I'm not going to let you get hurt! If there's a chance something will go wrong, I'm going with you.

I won't be a liability.

[Private, now fully encrypted]

[hackeralastair]

...

Only to heal. You stay back, otherwise. You're only there just in case, all right?

[Private, now fully encrypted] He needs to teach Baku how to encrypt still, BTW :)

[shiromadoushi]

And to shield if you need it.

I'll buff you both as well, just in case.

[Private, encrypted] oh right that

[hackeralastair]

Shield would be useful. Kyosuke needs to be fast. I need to be smart, and alert.

[Private, encrypted] Ya know, when they have time to breathe. :)

[shiromadoushi]

Un. Speed up should do that for you both. It increases dexterity, so it'll make you be more alert so you can avoid obstacles.

If it is aware... Is there a back up plan yet?

[Private, encrypted] eeeyahhh that's the problem XD

[hackeralastair]

Not...maybe. I have an idea. But I'm not gonna say it here. Encryptions can be broken. But the intention is the same no matter whether we have the element of surprise.

[Private, encrypted] Next week? There's not plots next week, right? :DD

[shiromadoushi]

Un. Did you want to come over to talk?

[Private, encrypted] FINALLY :D

[hackeralastair]

Well, if you're coming along we'll have to pick you up so...probably then.

[Private, encrypted] Been a hell of a month, seriously :D

[shiromadoushi]

All right. I'll be working on some safety plans in the mean while. Just in case.
