[Minako is at the Pie Hole, of course, taking a moment in the midst of getting ready to open... but that has nothing to do with the reason she's posting to the Network right now. She looks uncertain, and troubled; she should probably have shared this information sooner, but she's had her doubts about what to say, and how publicly.

She still has doubts, so when she speaks, it's hesitant and very brief.]

I think... I might have found out something about Atropos.

Does this mean they've obtained the third sister's power?

I don't know. I don't think they did then, at least.

My - friend [she says it with a hesitation that makes it clear that's not the right word, but it'll have to do] was the only one from his team who made it back. And he doesn't know how. Just, words in his head, and then white, until he woke up again.

Whether it really was Atropos or not, I don't think Vulcanus would've been able to get control of her power easily.

[She looks down, expression troubled.]

...but, that doesn't mean they haven't figured out how.

Or that they won't stop trying.

[ If there's anything they've learned about Vulcanus, it's that they're too stubborn for their own good. ]

Would this person be willing to talk to anyone again?

[At that question, Minako goes still. She doesn't answer right away, and when she does, her eyes remain downcast.]

I'd... rather not bring any more attention to him. He's hiding from Vulcanus now. Or, he believes he is.

If they're still keeping an eye on him, then...

Maybe someone can offer him protection. If he's by himself, who knows what might happen.

[ Vulcanus has apparently eliminated loose ends before and he carries no doubt they'll do it again if they see it fit. ]
