ES is involved. I would argue, as you should seem to know, that nothing is obvious under that condition.

And yet, Orthrus is adamant through all this that the best decision is to let things go.

@Inimical

Neither of us want bad blood, and I have nothing useful to you. All of this is a distraction from the real threat.

<Snipped quote by Server>

It’s never immediately obvious, is it? But you’re hiding something. Orthrus suspects it, and I know it.

@Inimical

If I were working with ES, we would have escaped together. This is an obvious trap to divert your attention to us.

Yes, Plouton. What detail?

Tempo here is not part of any group in the IA. Might as well be a outsider criminal sent to sabotage the nation.

@Inimical

What motive do I have to sabotage anything in your organization? I don't have any kind of stake or gain.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

All true statements. And all applicable to the situation, except one detail.

@Inimical

What detail?

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Glances between the two of you*
And that's your final answer?

@Inimical

Whoever you’re talking to, I’m too low on the food chain to know about it. But you’ve sure made him angry.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Not something he shared with you though?

@Inimical

He didn't trust me to "spread the word" to the right people. Whatever it is, he isn't a fan of your business dealings.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*Looks sideways at you*
And what did he tell you, hm? What business did he have with us?

@Inimical

He'd been stalking your organization for some time. And apparently he found whatever it is he wanted to know.

*Puts my hands on my hips, looks down, then looks straight up*

@Inimical

Again, we had perfectly legitimate business there. It was ES' hazard that caught us in this mess.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

You were peering over shoulders at the displays people had up, including myself. Not only do I not buy that, but it is not the behavior of someone snared in a trap.

@Inimical

The only thing we could do was try to understand what trap we walked into and how we could possibly escape. And the top suspect at the time was your organization.

Not as long as you still possess compromising information about an operation regarding people's well being.

*Glances sideways at Tempo, looking at him for a moment as though staring through him*
I don't think he knows anything.

@Multifarious

There was nothing to see from where I was.
