You brought me here because you thought he missed me? You really don't understand how his mind works at all, do you.

Half the time I'm just making him angry, you realize that much.

HE TOTALLY DOESN'T MISS YOU really

[monopolyonsnark]

Dawur. It seems you've finally decided to appear.

[toldyou]

[unconsciously straightens a bit. He could say it wasn't up to him, when he showed, but the Negotiator's not going to be interested in excuses.] It's not going well for you in the City?

[monopolyonsnark]

Within all likelihood, "not going well" is the vastest understatement I have ever heard.

[toldyou]

Owing to the interference of Jaime Reyes. [CALL IT A LUCKY GUESS...]

[monopolyonsnark]

Close. It is Jaime Reyes' to blame, but rather indirectly - the scarab is proving to be far more troublesome on its own than previously estimated.

[toldyou]

You should have destroyed it when you had the chance. [WHOOPS] That oversight has grown more and more expensive.

[monopolyonsnark]

I am aware, Dawur. [ HE KINDA FAILED EVERYTHING, yeah ] At the moment, even if I did use one of my options in destroying it, there is a high probability of Jaime Reyes and the Scarab merely being ported back. Alternative measures are needed.

[toldyou]

But if you destroy it, even if it returns, will you not have bought yourself additional time to muster a greater force against it?

[monopolyonsnark]

Perhaps. Or anger it further and cause unnecessary retaliation.

[toldyou]

...You have no allies there at all?

[monopolyonsnark]

[ Grinding teeth. ] Potential ones.

[toldyou]

Even you can't take over Earth alone.
