Meg? It's really time to change your voice mail. Seriously.

[baruthumos]

Not until I'm job hunting again. Did you have a reason, or did you just want to complain about it?

Potential job

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

The construction firm you work for. What is it called?

Re: Potential job

[baruthumos]

AECOM Construction. Why?

[protective_logic]

We need to talk.

[baruthumos]

Working another side job. Can it wait until I'm not holding power tools?

[ambitious_muse]

All right, what happened between you and Delta?

[baruthumos]

He doesn't like my new job.

And then he did the thing where I said one thing -that his degree was a waste of time, and he decided to assume I meant the absolute worst -that everything he's done was a waste of time. Now he gets to run off and get everyone to console him and tell him he didn't do anything wrong and I'm just a horrible human being. I mean, I can kind of see where he's a little upset that I didn't mention this earlier, but for someone who talks about how great he is with money, he certainly didn't have any clue what to do after graduation.

So let him go sulk, I draw the line at his pride making us starve.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

Did you ask anyone to help find your brother? The Informant is a dangerous man, O'Malley. Delta insists he's safe and does not need to be looked for.

[baruthumos]

Have you talked to him? Where is he? Is is safe? Did you see him or did he just send you a message?

There was a man on the street last night who offered to help me, and since I didn't know if Delta had somewhere safe to stay, I was a little desperate.

Besides, how bad can he be? He told me he'd only help if I wasn't hurting Delta. I don't need to tell you how ridiculous the idea is.

[soldierinblack]

A little birdie told me you were looking for your brother, Delta.

[baruthumos]

Yes! Yes, I am. Have you seen him?

[the_informant]

Found him.

[baruthumos]

Where is he? Is he safe?

[protective_logic]

A MERCENARY!? You sent a MERCENARY after me? God, Omega, why can't you just take the fact that I can't handle being treated like a live in maid service rather than the partner that you asked me to be when you kicked the Counselor out!?

[baruthumos]

I'm sorry about the mercenary, I didn't know he was going to track you down, I just bumped into him on the street and asked him to keep an eye out for you camping out at a bus stop or whatever BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD.

I didn't mean

Will you at least come

Look, if I ever did that, and I'm not saying I didn't, it wasn't on purpose. I'm sorry, tell me what I did and I'll never do that again.

[ambitious_muse]

Oh fearsome and awe-inspiring overlord of the Ai family,

I would like to have a friend over. Our mutual acquaintance, one Roxy Lalonde, has offered to teach me how to bake. Unfortunately, due to her housing circumstances, she has no oven, so she would need to come to me. Is she an acceptable visitor, or what should I do to begin the vetting process for her?

[baruthumos]

Your petition has been recieved, and as the person in question is already known to us, you are hereby granted permisson to proceed. We thank you for following the appropiate procedure.

[protective_logic]

Can you spare me for a bit on Saturday? I'm meeting someone at the cafe near the twins' preschool at 2.

[baruthumos]

If I can invite Roxy over to help with the science project Theta's trying to avoid.

[protective_logic]

OMG this is your fault and I don't know how to react to him now why did you put these ideas in my head?

[baruthumos]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[protective_logic]

Yes. Our name-signs for her are very different.

Anyway. We need to talk.

[baruthumos]

You know, you keep saying that, and it's never something fun like, "I thought about what you said and yes, the BBC miniseries is far superior to the movie with Gary Oldman.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

Need advice for a demolitions op. Too dangerous, you're not invited. I need to take down an office building.

[heavily-redacted schematics are attached]

[baruthumos]

You and some friends or you alone? Same charges as before or can you get bigger ones? How much time do you have to set them? Should I be disappointed you aren't inviting me or should I show this message to D as proof you're trying to keep me alive?

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

If you'd ever like to come by a half hour early for training, we could do breakfast. Practice our signing, maybe, and talk about your plans?

[baruthumos]

Okay. I could do that, I suppose. Any particular day?

[the_informant]

So, ropeboy, find that picture?

[baruthumos]

Nope. We've had a rough few days, though. I did look at the book. It was interesting.

[protective_logic]

So... New development.

[baruthumos]

Before I panic. Is anyone bleeding, homeless, or dead?

[ambitious_muse]

You know how you said I should meet Maine? I hear I have more of a reason now. We should have him over this Sunday.

[baruthumos]

What do you mean, more of a reason?

[soldierinblack]

We need to talk. About Alpha. It'd be better to do this in person. Are you free?

[baruthumos]

For you, always.

Wait, about what?

[soldierinblack]

Maine asked me to help get you on file in preparation for your certs since it can take a while. I'm going to need a DNA sample for that. I need you to bring it by ASAP or I can come get it.

[baruthumos]

Okay, you do know I'm literally fifty feet away from you in the weight room?

Why do they need a DNA sample?

[the_informant]

Muesca, I hear you're looking at combat medicine.

[baruthumos]

I am. Seems like it would have less jail time. And if not less people shooting at me, more incentive for other people to not let me get shot.

But seriously what if did daily

[protective_logic]

This is Omega? My name is Hamish Smithson, and I'm teaching your brother Delta how to work with helmet tech. I...

Listen, kid, you need to get here, now. Delta is freaking out, not responding to sounds and such. I think his implants have failed and he's panicking. He needs you here. Now.

[baruthumos]

I'm on my way. Ten, fifteen minutes out.

[maine_makes_growly_noises]

Delta messaged me. I'll be over in ten with brownie mix and a takeout menu. You'll need to let me in.

[wanderingmemory]

I understand that you were listening to Delta's request and all, but next time something like this happens? It may be better I find out before I manage to scare the hell out of Delta because I didn't realize the problem.

Also, do we have any idea yet how bad this is going to be cost-wise yet? If needed, I can pick up some extra courier jobs to help with covering it. Actually, I'm considering doing it to be ready for this or future emergencies.

[baruthumos]

We won't know the damage until Friday. I will keep you up to date on that and all other world-shattering developments.

[ambitious_muse]

Please tell me I'm the only one who forgot about Delta's upcoming birthday in all this madness.

[baruthumos]

We're having a party. York is invited. You and Theta are baking the cake. He wants clothes.
