Just a Passing Assassin...

Spiral: Think I’ll keep from messing with anything too extreme or unwieldy, comfy with this body type for now.



Rico: For the best, you’re just getting used to being alive again and all.



4D: Mm, as much as we encourage experimentation with as many mods as possible, this is your first job. Plus I’m pretty sure spiders are bad luck.

Rico:... Aren’t you a Spider?

4D: Yes? I’m not exactly a four leaf clover.

4D: Whether it carries over to the folks I’m monitoring is more up to debate I think.

4D: I do have a rather high rate of working with accident prone people so…



4D: Be careful!

Rico: Don’t listen to that. So no mods? You have a lot of capacity.

Spiral: I mean I’ll take probability manipulation and maybe the webbing but uh…

Spiral: Does the webbing break easier in the cold?

Rico: 4D, you got the answer to this right?

4D: Should be fine. Fiend bodies are quite vulnerable to extreme heat and cold but the webbing is quite fantastic for getting through winters.

4D: The cold will not kill our kind but will cause our body state to slow down, potentially hibernating until snow stops.



4D: Rico brings me blankets regularly during shift because the AC makes me sleepy…

Spiral: So should be good?

4D: Yep! Your body might struggle to regenerate webbing as quickly without a fiend body however. Species has a number of unique functions that make transcribing abilities to other forms of being difficult.

Spiral: Right. Also a few more quick things?



Rico: Go for it!

Spiral: Could a harpoon be good? We need to sort of capture it and keep it from running.

Rico: We can set that up easy..

Spiral: Also, do we need to scan the thing live? Like is scanning a piece or corpse viable?

Rico: A piece takes a bit longer to extract details from, but yeah. Corpse should be fine though we prefer live scans for a number of reasons.

Rico: Anyway, easy stuff either way.

Spiral: Cool .

Spiral: Also can we hold the delivery til I talk to the others? Also can you provide snacks? I want to hear some ideas from the rest of the group.

Rico: Sure thing, want updates from them anyway.

Spiral: Cool. Stand by then?

Rico: Standing by.

You pocket the device before turning toward the doorway. Cabinetta peeks her head out.



Cabinetta: Hello. Are you all done? I tried not to listen in too much but it sounded like you were finished. Good news hopefully?

Spiral: Mostly. I want to regroup though, call is on hold for now.

Cabinetta: Ah, certainly! We can hold dessert for now then.

Cabinetta: I’m really finding myself lightheaded though so let's be quick about it.... the hunger makes me a grumpy and sad creature...

Cabinetta: What did they call about anyway if I may ask?

Cabinetta: Can they help us?

Cabinetta: Hate to ask so much,I hope none of this is too intrusive...



Cabinetta: The most anything to happen in awhile! I can't help but be excited that things may work out for us in the end...
