We have to. Something about it is unstable. We have to press when we can.

We all knew there would be consequences. Shepard most of all.

[ Severus as well, but it's not his reputation on the line as a leader. ]

[forgodssake]

[ There's a brief silence. Thoughtful. ]

Then measures have to be taken to ensure we do not step so far into the trap that we are ensnared. I don't know what those are yet.
Petrelli understands. I don't know how Tyke operates wrt ship behaviours.

[darkart]

It won't be apparent until we're in the midst of it - probably until it's almost too late.

Nathan's asked that I go with him. Tyke will be taking a different direction.

[forgodssake]

What does the Senator intend?

[darkart]

Further destabilization.

[forgodssake]

Naturally.

[darkart]

And naturally you'll follow your own advice and stay put?

[forgodssake]

That wasn't my advice. I'm not hearing voices. Are you?

[darkart]

Just people on the network being bloody possessed crying out for help.

[forgodssake]

And I know what that's like firsthand. Of course I'm not staying put.

[darkart]

Endeavor not to be killed, please.

[forgodssake]

I will do my utmost.
Same for you, yeah?

[darkart]

I've got another ten years, at least, courtesy of Potter's informational squirming. Don't worry.

[forgodssake]

I'm not worried about anything.

[darkart]

Of course not.

By yourself?

[forgodssake]

[ There is a short delay. ]

My options are rather slight. It could be for the best.

[darkart]

I rather doubt that.

[forgodssake]

Me too.
I would tag along with you and the Senator if you'll have me but I should first see where the cards fall and how people are organising their respective ventures.

[darkart]

I assumed you'd see to your people. I doubt Nathan would dissuade you from coming.

[forgodssake]

You assumed correctly. However Erik may want to act alongside other mutants and he may want to do so without me, considering Arima.
We shall see.

[darkart]

Do you feel it's safe for you to be out there?

[forgodssake]

[ Another delay. ]

I do. I haven't been targeted as a lure and I feel as though I have some grasp of understanding about what all is going on that could make for practical application.
This all with the qualifier that everything could go terribly wrong, with or without my participation. Hoping for 'safe' is a big ask.

[darkart]

Safe is relative, but you know I mean within the parameters of what happened on Arima.

[forgodssake]

I do. My comment stands.

[darkart]

Then I'll just wish you luck. I think we'll all need it.
