We never met. Like, as far as they know.

-nods- Right. Uh... it gets lonely in that forest though.

Like- great plan and all. But it's bloody cold outside.

I mean I do now.

But it's reasonable for me to have met you guys if they see me walking in and out of the house, right?

Yeah, but... for all they know, we could be enemies. Or acquaintances. Not necessarily allies of...

(looks back at 9)

...What exactly do you do here?

I mean, I mostly go here for vacation honestly.

But back home I'm zhe CEO of a Technology Corporation. I'm also currently in zhe middle of a corporate war back home, and I have loved ones zhat live or visit here frequently. So zhis outpost, as vell as being a second home, is just a vay of me keeping a tab on zheir lives, just zhat little bit. Minor protection vhich honestly is mostly for my peace of mind.

Ist also outreach in order to promote my corporation as a brand. Ve have a free goody bag of merchandise and stuff. Zhere's a stress toy in zhe shape of a 9. Pretty popular request, actually.

-nods quietly- That's true... doesn't know the extent of our interaction.

(smiles)

You're transparent, at least. This other guy... maybe they mean well. Maybe they don't.

(smile fades)

But if they're not transparent, then we'll have to assume the worst. And to make their motives clearer... I think we need to make them assume the best.

I have doubts of zhem meaning vell. Zhey steal guns amongst other supplies. I became aware of zhis problem vhile here.

But ya... ve just need to lure zhem out. Somehow.

-nods- Yeah... geez. This is a lot to think about, and we don't even know who they are...

Becomes a waiting game for them to take the bait, aye.

I don't want Laurel to punch me, so.

I might say no!

I'm ok with that plan. I'll even punch this 'Laurel' guy.

It could vork. Of course not knowing anything about zhe enemy, zhere's no guarantees...

...Cheddar, maybe. Like...

(looks up at Cappro)

If you use the word "cheddar" when talking to one of us, then... can we take it as a sign that it's safe to talk? Or... not safe to talk. One or the other.

Why cheddar?

Because I'm Brie!

... Well. I guess.

I'll slip in the word cheddar somehow if I believe it's safe to talk.

Oh ya, you're velcome to come back any time.

I have guards, after all. And if zhe situation escalates, I have more spare.

Alzhough... I do have a favour to ask.

If you meet somevone named Cori- purple skinned girl. Warn her about the situation, okay?

Same goes for Frau Frau. Zhey're both clones of mine, and zhey're like my daughters.

It was fishy as soon as our creator wouldn't reveal their identity to us, to be honest.

Well all clues we had were related to 9.Corp so...

What they wore was face concealing- skin concealing... voice was modulated. And you can't tell from the armour what gender they possibly are.

No clues at all.

And I have zero idea about who vould be planning it. I'm not aware of any enemies from before I vent to war.

Anyone you know who's, like... really, really eager to get a promotion?
