You are anticipating a "meltdown". I think it probable you will be disappointed. I have always found it more conducive to bend than to break under pressure.

Believe me. I shall behave as the circumstances dictate, and, to the best of my ability, control my emotions within those circumstances.

...I fail to see an operative difference between "control" and "suppress." Heh. Let's not banter.



But. Yes. I will miss her.

Additionally you should remember to contact Stark's mun and run your idea by her. I've been idle too long.

What do you have cooking?

[hacktivist]

Heheh, well. (I wanted to bomb L-3 Communications' HQ and blame it on Vulcanus. Two birds. Stark wouldn't go for it though)

Her idea was to try to get me more interested in preemptive defense. Pentesting my suit.

It occurs to me that I could ask for your help, too. For... mental defense training...?

[futureleader]

(Lie about it, what Stark doesn't know can't hurt him.)

Of course I can help you with mental defenses. You've come to the right person for such a task because when it comes to psychwar, I'm simply the best there is, Ghost.

[hacktivist]

And if he finds out?

I figured you'd have practice.

[futureleader]

What's the difference between a white lie and a well kept secret?

This is what I do on a day to day basis. Call it a life style.

[liverletdie]

Well, hopefully we won't see any meltdowns. I think you can handle it.

[hacktivist]

I doubt I will have the luxury of knowing she is ported out, instead of kidnapped.

[ALWAYS OPTIMISTIC]

[liverletdie]

Unfortunate.

Will you at least give it a week? If I ask nicely?

[hacktivist]

A week before I attack Vulcanus?

...am I permitted to make plans within that week?

[liverletdie]

Hell, Ghost. I'd help.

[futurebatwoman]

Hey there.

[hacktivist]

Max. I didn't realize--

Heh.

Thought you'd be incommunicado for a little longer.

Are you all right?

[futurebatwoman]

You know me. I'm always around being okay. There should be more hours in a day, though.

I think bending is better than breaking. For the record.

[hacktivist]

Yes.

If anything could break me.

Currently.

...it is good to see you.

[futurebatwoman]

[ beat. It's not a distinction she's happy about. ]

But it won't. You'll be fine, it'll just be a little over a week -

You'll be okay. [ Said more like something she wants to be true than a certainty. ]

[danceswithwater]

A what?

[hacktivist]

Ah. What would be a term you would use...

A collapse? She thinks I will lose control.

[yelloweyesdarksomething]

I'm sure everything's gonna be okay, mister ghost guy!

[hacktivist]

Thank you, Monster.

Your support is...welcome, in these troubled times.

Are you recovering?

[yelloweyesdarksomething]

Recovering from what?
