[@BCTheEntity] Well, thanks. If Thorn would intervene, or attempt to intervene, then don't feel afraid to act in character. I however am ok with Azazel putting a few plugs in Xeph's head. I mean, the guy has 4 servo arms and dentrites in his spine. 

And besides, we need an excuse to temper Xeph's sudden stark loyalty. "Messing with his head" provides the appropriate story to make it happen.
