Asagi: Hey, Mr. Einar.

-She waves hi back to the guy-

@Oliver Geez, what happened to you there?

Asagi: @Oliver Oh yeah.

...Well, I'm not entirely sure about same thing, but I do get what you mean, with the mental trauma and such.

Asagi: Mmmm, yeah. That's what those kind of entities do. They're like black holes, and keeping your own sense of self is impossible for normal beings.

Oliver: Yeah.

And for normal beings, our sense of self is pretty much who we are. I mean, there's a lot more than that, but if you don't have that... you're not really you, are you?

You're just a body without a soul, going through the motions. Like a depression analogy made manifest.


-Six is roused from trying to puzzle out how to turn the Optimus Prime toy he got back into a truck by the beeping of the company email account-

-Sighing, he checks it, because somebody has to around here-

-einar goes and sets down a keg in front of oliver and asagi, completely ignoring the sentimental conversation the two were having-

Einar: we've been through a lot, so i brought some of the best astartes liquor to help celebrate our success...and possibly wipe your memories if you've seen some shit you'd rather forget.

-The first is from Miss Yukimura asking how to deliver your payment for "settling the family mater"-

-The second is Terminus Security about your payment for Operation Delta Green-

-The third is informing you you are no longer goverment employes, but due to to your service will retain access to goverment equipment and facilities as long as you fill out the relevent forms-

Einar: we once used this to power a land raider, the machine spirit forgot its own name for 3 years so I'm sure it will work on your mechanical body too oliver.

-Six decides to check out the first message first-


Oliver: Just get me a way to intake this and I'm sold. I haven't drunk much, but honestly?

I'm feeling up for a lot of unhealthy self-medication at the moment.

Asagi: I'll admit I've never had a strong sense of self cause of my condition, so it's new. Still, I can definitely tell how much of a toll it took on yah, Ollie.

Oliver: It was probably worse when I woke up but I wasn't under control of my own body.

Or when I tried to fight back, and then... it just saw the idea of resistance in my head. I...

...this is complicated to explain, because... it's just, it doesn't make sense...

Einar: daemons are a cruel and malicious lot, they will warp you in ways the human mind is truly not prepared for. Not even astartes like myself are immune to their mind games.

Email: Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this, bit things did not go quite as planed.... With the death of my father in shame my family lime technicaly ceased to be due to the lack of a male heir at the time.

Luckily the Miura know good breeding when they see it, and as part of the negotiations I was allowed to keep my family name until I produce a male heir for the Yukimura name.

While I don't have full access to the Yukimura estate to complete the paymwnt, I don't think any one would notice couple precursor artifacts went missing, how could they with how much of a mess that place is... it would be such a shame if they were to wind up in a place of your choosing.

Asagi: Is it the feeling of disassociation from knowing deep down that this is not you at all, yet you can visibly see your own body making the motions? Like someone is puppeteering your own body from the inside out?

Oliver: Yeah...

I just kind of became pain. He... filled my head with pain, and that was basically all I was for 15 seconds. The sort of pain where I'm pretty sure I would consider my arm being severed a religious experience now in light of what I experienced.

And when I came to it was gone. Resistance wasn't even a thing I could think of. There was just enough tidbits left for me to understand what I had lost, and there was a wall whenever I tried to put them together...


-The response is simple-

-"It would indeed be a shame if they were sent to [THE ADDRESS OF THE PENTHOUSE]. However, you can rest assured that in the terrible event of multiple artifacts going missing, they would be cared for well"-

-Next!-

-Basicly what was already stated, an apology for the loss of goverment agent status-

-A reminder that due to the restoration of andromeda you are no longer the only or most qualified people they have-

-But an extension of thanks in the retention of access to goverment facilities and equipment with the proper payments and forms-
