malnosso | [ Filtered away from the Malnosso ]

[A filtered broadcast appears on Luceti's journals on the evening of the 29th.]

Ah. Luceti. It sure has been a while. My, how things change...

[And, oh, how they stay the same. The woman’s voice falls silent for the soft click and gasp of a lighter.]

I hear that not all of you have been playing nicely with my charges; then again, I doubt they made a point to play too nicely, either. [Laughter.] I would bet my last credit that Korras didn't.

Speaking of Blake, could a helpful soul put him on the line? Since the Malnosso shut down their books, it's been...or...blast it, you'll have to do. All of you. Listen -- two days from now, your guests are cleared to return to Kin'cora. Be dears and tell my children they're to line up at your pretty little teleporters. The Organization didn’t see fit to share their schedule but I certainly do see fit to pass it on. Unlike them, I find less entertainment in watching the machines round them up. This way, perhaps only the stragglers will be subjected to that.

As promising as this enclosure?

Maybe. Potentially. Feeling threatened?

Having another promising enclosure would explain Luceti being expected to fall in line and enfolded into draft happenings more than before.

[While he keeps his tone light, he finds himself considering just how much more disposable they would be in such a situation.]

Mmhm. [You can almost hear the shrug.] Of course, after seeing the perks of being promising? I suspect my Kin'corans are newly aware of what their cooperation might be worth.

Electricity, for one thing.

You keep referring to them as yours. Is their cooperation with the Organization in your best interests now?

More like...their cooperation with me is not in the Organization's best interests.

Well. [Drag. Puff.] Their current best interests. Things have changed on the outside, too.

Enough that Count Zompano regained control of this enclosure, it seems.

Will you divulge anything, or is that too much to ask? [He's played this game enough times by now.]

That greatly depends upon the anything. For example? You should absolutely ask me what the Count's been up to, lately...

He has been curiously silent through these entire events. [...] What happened?

[Her smirk is audible.]

No one knows. It's quite the unsolved mystery.

That is to say, the truth would be rather damaging. [How interesting. From what they had seen, Zompano was well-insulated against cultist attacks. Meaning whatever had happened to him was internally plotted.] Has the Organization taken measures to replace him?

Oh, I've no doubt that the interested parties are still scrambling to rally their support.

[He has to raise a brow at that.]

Interested parties?

Well. I don't know their names.

[Not all of their names, at least.]

I was more surprised to hear there are multiple parties. We have only been privy to the obvious presences of Sir Catherine, the Count, and the Commandant.

Is it known if Kin'cora was deliberately attacked because it was a promising enclosure?

Promising? No, I think not.

But new...?

Maybe.

So new that they may not believe that their lost may never come back. [Sacrifices taken away from the battlefield.

But perhaps he should acknowledge what she was saying.] You do not like the droids very much.

They are hammers doing a needle's work, really.

Hm. Indeed. What are your thoughts on the Organization's new droids?

You'll have to share your thoughts first, Mister Silverberg. I've yet to be aquainted...

Harvested brains. [Need he say more?]

[No. He really needn't not.]

Eugh. Distasteful work. And these droids have been seen in action?

Not on the battlefield, no. You have not heard of anything hinting at this?

An underground life only affords me so much, Mister Silverberg. And your blue-hued friend told me very little before I took up residence in Kin'cora.

Considering I had originally thought you intended to keep out of contact with him, it is interesting to hear you two have conversed. [He speaks broadly, since he has heard about something about Munroe meeting someone...]
