[ Filtered away from the Malnosso ]

[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.

[No offense to the nurse who'd been working in the Med Lab this past week, but Katara had not been overly impressed with the healing ability she'd seen. Unless the Cultists had focused on the medical staff first, which she realized to her horror would be a brutally effective tactic.]

Can we send anything back with them? Medicine, supplies? Or will it not get Shifted with them?

[justobserving]

You can try. But I can make no promises. My finger won't be the one on the button.

[markofthebrave]

Right, I understand that. I remember you.

[They hadn't spoken much, as she recalled - but Rem had been one of Katara's first encounters of the Malnosso-kind. There were probably accusations thrown about.]

[justobserving]

And I you. I confess, I did wonder who would still be in residence over under your barrier.

[markofthebrave]

[Yeah, lucky me.]

I remember, back then, you said Luceti was the safest place to be on this planet. Why aren't all the other enclosures built with the same type of barrier?

[justobserving]

Not all enclosures have such a...talented man behind their barrier's design.

[markofthebrave]

[Right. John. And obviously they were unable to copy his design, so there was no point in asking...]

Then what makes us so special? Why are we put behind this particular barrier when others aren't? We have enough room.

[justobserving]

What makes you so special? Funny, y'know, how even the Kin'corans ask that question. I assume every enclosure thinks it's special...

Maybe they all are. In some way.
