“The vault door was placed just last night. She was-” Mr. Pitter paused, “Agitated. We had to call Trickster in to talk to her. He’s here now.”
“She”? As in Dinah, or does Coil have another captive?
Coil didn’t have to walk far to get to her in the other reality, so I guess it’s Dinah.
So… we’ve had several mentions of the Travelers so far, including it being pointed out that the Travelers need something from Coil, and now Trickster is in the base. I have a feeling we’re going to learn what their deal is by the end of this Interlude.
“I’ll speak with them.”
“Yes sir.”
Like right now, maybe.
He didn’t like interacting with people, especially not subordinates as important as the Travelers or Undersiders, without the ability to create or banish the reality if the discussion didn’t go his way.
No wonder he ends up quite persuasive and charismatic.
Here, he was safe. His other self was giving orders on movements, targets to attack, individuals to watch out for, informed by the night he had spent tracking the deployments and patrol patterns of the Protectorate and Wards.
In other words, if the talk with Trickster and Dinah doesn’t work out, he’s still been productive.
