Trifid: Be real nice and we might let you in on it.
Vesuveus: I also hear you have a toy you like to share...
Trifid: That means no more firing that big gun of yours at me, 'kay pumpkin?
Bradyn: Bradyn chuckles.
Vesuveus: My hands are are rest. We can be civil.
Trifid: Mm... your call, Bradyn.
Bradyn: It's too soon. You'll have to wait.
Trifid: Trifid chuckles.
Trifid: Denied.
Vesuveus: For?
Bradyn: For us to know, and you to find out.
Vesuveus: Can I ask you guys a question?
Bradyn: Tell me Vesuveus. Do you know why EPN wanted clearance through the Zion tunnels?
Trifid: You just did.
Vesuveus: Efficient travel.
Vesuveus: for starters.
*Bradyn taps his foot.*
Vesuveus: Establish a relationship of trust with the command.
*Bradyn taps his foot.*
Vesuveus: Obvious reasons on the surface.
*Trifid stretches.*
Vesuveus: What do you know of the Scanline crew?
Bradyn: Scanline?
Bradyn: Last I heard, must of the were injured, or Died.
Trifid: Yeah. Damn shame, too.
Trifid: They were cool kids.
Vesuveus: I heard a rumor that may or may not be found from truth...
Bradyn: No doubt.
*Bradyn nods at Trifid.*
Trifid: Truth's a matter of perception. What's yours?
Trifid: Trifid smirks.
Vesuveus: That you gentlement were affiliated with the crew.
Bradyn: Hmm, that would be your perception.
Vesuveus: Trifid, I believe you met my wife earlier...
Trifid: That's a theory. Can't tell you what kind, but I can definitely tell you it's a theory.
*Trifid waves.*
Bradyn: Til next time.
Bradyn: Perception is the key, finding the right one is the challenge.
Vesuveus: How will I contact you again?
Bradyn: You have my number.
Bradyn: Following me, huh?
Baten: Well if you'll excuse me I do believe Im seeing things.
Roukan: Have fun.
Vesuveus: Sir
Trifid: Ma'am?
Roukan: Was that to me, or Vesuveus?
Trifid: Vesuveus, actually... but if you're not doing anything later...
Trifid: Trifid smiles.
Roukan: ..that was the worst attempt I've ever heard.
Trifid: Good, then it fit you perfectly.
Roukan: Trifle waste of good talent there kid.
Trifid: Sure, sure. You need something, Vesuveus?
[Team] Vesuveus: Thanks for accepting the invite.
[Team] Vesuveus: My operator informs me that your signal is coming from a ship identified as the Scanline.
[Team] Vesuveus: So my perception is altered.
[Team] Trifid: Yeah...
[Team] Vesuveus: What truth do you spread?
[Team] Trifid: Open your mind for a moment and look at everything you've done... and imagine if every move you made was already decided for you, by another party.
[Team] Vesuveus: And as a result...?
[Team] Trifid: Do you think it might be possible?
[Team] Vesuveus: I have been in this world long enough to know that enything is possible.
[Team] Trifid: Good. Then you just might be open minded enough to see what we're about to show.
[Team] Vesuveus: I have my strong points.
*Vesuveus smiles.*
[Team] Vesuveus: How can I see it?
[Team] Trifid: Don't we all.
[Team] Trifid: Easy. Pop some popcorn, get a seat on the couch next to your lovely wife, and have her tune into our frequency.
[Team] Haxadec: Who is "we"?
ZippyTheSquirrel: ..what's that rustling sound?
[Team] Trifid: My crew mates, kid.
Trifid: Well, as ill-amusing as this is...
*Crew member [HeRn21] has come online.*

[Team] Vesuveus: My wife is pretty busy these days.
[Faction] Haxadec: hey hern
[Faction] HeRn21: hey!

Trifid: Trifid chuckles.
[Faction] Vesuveus: Camon C
[Faction] HeRn21: roger that
Roukan: He at least has good pickup lines.
ZippyTheSquirrel: I'm confused about who she's talking about, so I'm going to sit here and look sexy while concetrating on making sure my inner monolouge isn't playing out loud.
ZippyTheSquirrel: ZippyTheSquirrel grimaces and smacks his face.
Trifid: Keep your ears open, kids. Never know what you're going to hear.
