“It’s just going to be another minute or two.  The data has to compile and upload.  It’s not my work, so I played it safe and went for the slowest, heaviest compression method that I could.  It’s going to take a bit.”

Hmm.

Are we dealing with Dragon today? It’s not going to be her Interlude because she already had one, though, and the same goes for the primary suspect for who we’d see talking to her. So if that’s what we’re getting, whose perspective is it?

“my work” implies that whoever is talking has skill in dealing with data like this.

Coil had some people decrypting PRT data a few Arcs back, but surely they’ve finished that by now.

“That’s fine.  Thank you.”

My mind immediately went to Taylor here, but this really doesn’t say a lot about who this might be.

I suppose it’d be nice to get two different perspectives on Taylor in a row, though.

Kid Win shifted position uncomfortably, falling silent.

Ooh, hello!

I take it he was the first voice, given the paragraph break? Then again, that might’ve just been to make sure the name (the topic of the paragraph, in a meta sense) came first.

Ooh, could the other voice be Legend?

The other voice is almost certainly the POV character (Kid Win’s already had an Interlude, unless Interludes that aren’t technically labeled as such don’t count), and I would be very okay with it being Legend.

You don’t have to be intimidated.  I’m just a man.

Yeah, that sounds like an issue that would be central for Legend, alright. I’m calling it with 90% certainty: this is Legend’s Interlude.
