This is Nick. I don't know how many of you are still on here that know me, but I'm going to cut right to the chase here: I've been working undercover with the mafia for months, trying to get their secrets for the network. And now I finally have something useful.

There's going to be a meeting soon. Albero will be there, along with a large number of high ranking mafia members. I know when, and where, and I know that if we hit it, we stand a good chance of taking them out and making a serious dent in their operation.

I know some of you are going to say that violence isn't the answer. For anyone who wants to try another road, I have a number of recordings of the mafia making plans to frame network members, and of some of the kidnappings that have happened, as well as the location of where the mafia members are getting their modifications. I'll pass them off to someone who wants them, but not until just before the meeting. It's obviously going to blow my cover pretty badly.

I'm going to that meeting. I don't want to do it alone, because I want to make this hurt, and I can't do that by myself. I know I'm not the only one who's been affected by what they've done, and if we want to stop them, to make it so they can't do it to anyone else - this is the best chance we've got.

We need to take it.

Don't give them a reason to start. Don't be heroes in getting into their business, leave them alone and they'll leave you alone.

Stop that.

[Nope still pouting.]

Is it working?

[ have a pout back. ]

No. Stop it.

[Oooh almost can't hold it but still trying.]

I think it's working~.

No it's not.

[ here comes a even bigger pout. ]

I dunno, you've not convinced me.

[Tries to amp it up but it's really hard to beat Shou's pouts.]

Convinced you about what?

[ cue even more pouting. ]

I'm on your side, in this case, at least, whether or not I fight.

...

[Arthur did his best to keep himself composed at that. Not out of anger in its entirety. He had plenty of that.

What worried him was that it made him happy. An outlet.]

Good. I won't feel guilty if they can fight back a little.

That's never certain. But in any case, we have to live with the consequences of whatever happens.

So I guess it's best to be prepared.

The other way around; but if that's enough, I'm the wrong person to tell that to. I have no interest in their meddlings as long as they don't meddle with me or those important to me.

That it isn't working. Anyway, I'll be fine. I'm not some little kid you know.

They're yours, then. I'll leave the recordings with you before we leave for the meeting.

How about this. I'll get them to the media outlets when the raid is underway; that way, no one in the Mafia will be able to catch wind prematurely, but it'll ensure that reports will begin, at earliest, the following morning. The sooner people understand why this was justified, the better.

Yeah, that - that's perfect, man. Thank you.

I guess we just need to make sure other people understand to just leave enough alone then.

I know; I just don't wanna get Richard yelling at me again.

[A nod. He briefly wonders if he always cared as little about those outside of his inner circle, but then... circumstances never were like this, so who knows if it is a change brought on by Thorin, or if it is just himself?]

[A tense half-smile.]

In you need anything else in the coming days, please don't hesitate to tell me. In the meantime... I'll obtain earpieces and mics for everyone and map out the area as completely as possible.

[That... stops Lily cold. She understands even mroe, given that. Given what she's seen in both lives now... it takes her a little while to respond.]

...I definitely understand, then. I really do, for what little good it might do.

But... You might or might not even care to have it, but I still have to worry. Not just about what it might mean for us as a whole, but... The people willing to do this.

Again? What do you mean again?

Hey, thinking too much over this? Don't. We'll figure it out, sooner of later.

Well. I guess I mean him talking about what will happen if I let you get hurt.

We will.

[All of it.]
