[For a few moments, there's nothing but faint shuffling noises. Then:]

Is it on? Oh thank fuck somebody help, I'm- oh fuck-

[There's a thud, followed several minutes of swearing and ragey noises.]

Goddammit, just get me out of this thing ARGHRHGH-

[It goes on for like that for a while.]

It was like...you know, that pulse feeling, but like. Stronger than normal. And, uh. I remembered the whole. Being in the nape thing.

[HAHA ALAN IS SOUNDING A WHOLE LOT LESS ENTHUSED ABOUT THIS FUNNY THAT]

It was gross as shit and past me had no idea what was going on.

Oh...

[ not disappointed NOT DISAPPOINTED

It's not like she was hoping he'd turn into a titan right there or anything

B-baka ]

...Still. We know definitively that we can initiate echoes this way. Recording the gear in-use might still help. Even if it only identifies more people we once knew.

[ Gotta know who to obsessively keep tabs on from the shadows, amirite ]

[It's probably for the best, really. Turning into a titan right here might have actually been a really terrible idea.]

What if it triggers something really bad, though? Some people have already gotten echoes with nasty effects.

What's the worst that can happen?

[ Okay even Ellie is genre-savvy enough to know that saying that only invites terrible things. BUT STILL. ]

The vermaxi will show up eventually. People are going to see the gear in-use at some point. This way it's in the safety of their own homes instead of mid-battle. If it triggers anything negative, better it happen this way.

...Yeah, that makes sense. And hey, maybe it really will work out like you're hoping.

It can't hurt to try.

[ Can't hurt her, anyway 8T ]

When you show up, make sure you're in dark clothes. With a hood. Just in case.

Right. I can do that.

[He will also pretend to be Batman while doing so. Don't judge.]
