*You have entered Tabor Park.*
*You are now using the Spy Style martial arts style.*
Sasword: Hello Kompira.
*You target [Kompira] the level 12 Spy.*
*[Kompira] is friendly.*
Kompira: Konbanwa.
*Kompira nods at you.*
*Kompira bows to you.*
*Successfully added waypoint*
Sasword: How are you?
Kompira: How are you, operative?
Sasword: I'm fine.
Kompira: I'm fine, thank you.
Sasword: Good to hear.
Kompira: What are you doing, this evening?
Sasword: Nothing much. Yourself?
Kompira: Paperwork, meetings, phonecalls. All the unimportant little pieces of business.
*You nod.*
*Kompira coughs.*
Sasword: You okay?
Kompira: Mhmm. Just a cold.
Sasword: I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure you'll get better soon.
Kompira: Arigatou gozaimasu.
Kompira: I'm sorry, I don't believe we've been properly introduced.
Kompira: My name is Noriko, Noriko Sasaki.
Sasword: Hello.
Kompira: Ah, we met the other night, didn't we?
Sasword: Yep.
Kompira: I apologize. I've been through regiments of neural reconditioning.
Kompira: It'd seem that it's doing a number on my short-term memory.
Sasword: It's okay.
Sasword: Why did you need reconditioning?
Kompira: Er...
Kompira: I've been awake longer than you might guess, friend. And for a long time, I executed operations in the real.
Kompira: After a while, separation from this system slowly causes a degridation in your neural jack's firmware.
*You nod.*
Kompira: Without keeping it in check, it can spread to the rest of your brain.
Sasword: I understand.
Kompira: Kompira grins.
Kompira: Truth be told, I look a lot like a baseball in the real world right now.
*Kompira giggles like a schoolgirl.*
Sasword: Oh dear.
*Kompira is wondering about takoon.*

Sasword: Thanks.
Kompira: Our database shows that you're working th the Sentience faction, yes?
Sasword: Yes.
Kompira: With, excuse me.
Kompira: Are any of your compatriots jacked-in and available?
Sasword: Mathalos is available, I believe.
Kompira: Ah yes, we exchanged hellos earlier.

MathalosVH: Haven't spoke to you in quite awhile.

Kompira: It has been quite some time, and I do apologize, operative.
MathalosVH: Will you have more time to spend in the simulation now?
Kompira: Yes, much more. Though I am having trouble finding a machine presence within the simulation. No doubt the war effort has been hard on all sides.
*Chat is already being logged. Use /logstop to stop logging.*
MathalosVH: We are still around, but we've been busy and haven't been able to come into the simulation as much as we would hope to.
Kompira: Kompira nods, understanding fully.
Kompira: Just keep busy, yes?

Kompira: Kompira sips the warm drink.
MathalosVH: Of course.
MathalosVH: If you require a machine presence, I'm sure we will come.
Kompira: Oh, I've no doubt.
Kompira: I just hope that a stable force will remain without impetus from myself or officers Systematica and Cross.
MathalosVH: I believe the Machines are still a stable force.
*CAUTION: Agents are homing in on your location!*

*You have died. Type /reconstruct to return to the Loading Area.*
Kompira: Yes, yes. I know that. Perhaps I'm being overassertive.
MathalosVH: I must be going, I have some work to finish up inside of the simulation.
Kompira: Of course.
MathalosVH: It's nice to see you again, I look forward to seeing you more in the future.
