Rebel 9 [Written]

First that boy, then Mr. McDohl, now the professor... the Malnosso really do have an odd sense of humor, don't they?

It's getting a little crowded in this apartment. Strange to think just a couple months ago, it was just me here. It almost seems as if Tao's been here the entire time. And now with three of us... I have to say, I'd love to see Tager and Linhua again, but at this rate, I'm not sure we would have the space. Does anyone know if New Feathers are still coming in?

Which reminds me...

I know this is an incredibly strange request, but -- would either of you mind if Tao and I used your bathtub for a week or so? I'm not sure it would be a good idea to use mine for the time being.

This place... really is beginning to feel a bit like home.

I'm afraid there isn't any way out that anyone has found quite yet, Lt. Rosch. It seem the only way is through the Malnosso themselves.

["Lieutenant?" Is she trying to insult me?] I find that difficult to believe.

*A pause* I didn't say anything about finding a way to leave. How did you do that?

[not_meatbuns]

[Good word...] It seems the Malnosso's latest experiment is to broadcast our thoughts to one another.

I apologize, but... well, I'm afraid there's not much I can do to not hear.

What?! How is that... [Broadcasting our thoughts...? That's insanity!]

*Rosch is sounding very angry now, by how clipped his voice is* The blame lies with them, not you. No apology is necessary.

[not_meatbuns]

To be honest, I'm not sure how they manage half the things they do, let alone this.

[Of all things to be subject to just after getting here...]

*Muttered.* This place is impossible. [She's feeling sorry for me? I am a commander of PSICOM; I will endure even this humiliation if I have to.]

[not_meatbuns]

[I didn't mean it that way...] I know all this can be hard to accept, but please, don't let it dampen your spirits too much. I'm sure someday, we'll all find a way out if we all just keep working together.

*Rosch is pinching the bridge of his nose. This is irritating.* [Of course she didn't. Stop *thinking* so loudly...] I assure you, I intend to do exactly that.
