The Director offered a noncommittal ‘mm hmm’ in reply.
“And you’re telling us this because?”
“Because we’ve studied you. We know what you prioritize, and I believe that you’ll enter the fray to save your teammates.”
I… yeah.
They totally will.
I already took that for granted, actually, which only goes to show how right Piggot is.
“Or we could phone them.”
That’s at least partially a bluff, given that that already failed once.
“Do you want to try?”
Tattletale glanced at me and Grue. “No point, I guess. You’re blocking unofficial communications in the area.”
Oh. I guess that might be why they failed to get through last time too.
“Yes. We have to hamper communication between the Nine if we want to catch them off guard. You understand.”
Yeah, like fuck that’s why you did that. The Nine don’t seem the type for phones.
Them getting phones would actually be a bit of a logistical issue for them, even. Shatterbird broke the ones in the city, including any the Nine might’ve had with them, and they don’t seem to have access to a provider of satellite phones the way Coil has. I suppose they might have gathered the phones they had outside Shatterbird’s Shattering range, but it seems like a lot of trouble to go to.
…
It’s totally possible that Bonesaw made biological satellite phones inside their heads or some shit like that.
