[The pyjaks and the varren aren't very concerning, but the water going out had made Kengo concerned from the beginning. Something like this didn't just happen so easily. So, he'd volunteered to work with getting the water lines back on and operating. What he hadn't expected was that fires would start while he was working to get everything online. As soon as he catches the news, he sends a message to the network. He doesn't like being underground and out of the way, unable to help like he had the time before.]

Someone give me a status report. Where is the fire and how bad is it? I need specifics.

[This message is nothing like the ones Kengo had sent before. He learned his way around an omni-tool and has every possible defense up against being traced or having his messages tied to him.]


[A few minutes later, a separate, less heavily encrypted message is sent along to Ryusei's omni-tool.]
Where are you? Are you okay?

[Give him like a full minute to debate whether to use voice or text.]

That's my question.

[Depends on the definition of "safe."]

Unburnt. [I'd tell you about the fire, but I assume by this encryption that you don't want these messages associated with each other.]

What can't you tell me? [That you're okay, or where you are?]

[Got frustrated with text.]

How do I know that?!

Your workplace. I'm holding you to it.

[...] [A few minutes later]

Worry about yourself first.

[Would "are you sure you trust whoever that is" be rude to type? ... Hypocritical, maybe?]

Fine.

What were you working on that you needed your weapon?

[personal profile] asteroidbelt 2013-04-15 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[You didn't know about the fire.] What things?

[personal profile] asteroidbelt 2013-04-15 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Suspicious enough that you couldn't tell me where you were?

[personal profile] asteroidbelt 2013-04-15 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Who were you with? [I'll beat it out of someone else, then.]

[personal profile] asteroidbelt 2013-04-15 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
...

It's not enough.

[personal profile] asteroidbelt 2013-04-16 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Where were you. What you were doing.

[personal profile] asteroidbelt 2013-04-17 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Those things don't warrant any secrecy. Damnit.]

I'll take your word for it.
