“Thank you.”
“And you did catch me off guard here. I didn’t expect you to contact me.”
I suppose it is possible that contacting specifically Tattletale on sight was pre-planned, so that Piggot didn’t need to specify it over the radio.
“You’ve been busy, your groups. Fighting Burnscar in the Docks, I gather that didn’t go so well,” the Director said, pausing.
That was less of a fight and more of an escape, except for Genesis’ contribution.
I didn’t even want to think about that. I hadn’t been back to check on my people or my territory since then. We had been busy.
If she puts this off much longer her territory might become like my old NeoPets account. I was away from it for an extended period, and then I never returned because I didn’t want to face the death of my NeoPets due to neglect. (I’m not even sure that would’ve happened. Again, I never returned.)
My point is it’s just going to get harder to face the longer she puts it off.
But yeah, they have been super busy, so she has some valid reasons.
“Then you ambush the Nine, capturing two, one of whom you enslaved, but you lose one of your own in the process. You mount a rescue attempt. I take it that you were successful?”
I mean, he’s standing here next to the phone, so…
Honestly, I kind of want Grue to answer this one, just interjecting with a “Yeah.” and letting his spooky voice say the rest.
“Grue’s here,” Battery informed her. “But he looks different.”
Right, because the darkness surrounding him is a bit different now.
“So they were successful. And now we find the Undersiders mounting a pincer attack, with this group targeting Siberian? I suspect you’re crossing the threshold of fearlessness and entering into foolishness.”
Perhaps, though you don’t have the information they do. As long as the Monochrome doesn’t return and the real body stays in the crater, this was actually a success. Probably the first one there’s ever been against Siberian specifically.
Though the real body is still dangerous as long as they’re capable of unsummoning the Monochrome and resummoning her next to the people trying to arrest them.
