Lay it out for me? If you could have it all go how you want, what would happen? [And to who; he implies that with his tone.]

[skitter]

That Jacobi shit. He should still be in Zero.

[ukan]

[Yeah, he can't argue that.] Does he even have a temp yet? [Wait. He's heard only a little of what's been going on--he's been scrambling to keep certain things going, and let himself fall out of the loop.] Did he hurt you?

[skitter]

Don't think so. But he's friends with way too many wardens already. It wasn't me. Thomas Blanky, if you know him? Threw a bomb for him to catch and blew his hands to shreds.

[ukan]

Fuck. [Exhausted, angry, disgusted. He's feeling a lot of things at once.] So what then, he was put in Zero for a few hours, I assume?

[skitter]

Longer, I think. I stayed away, but I didn't see or hear about him again until after the Port.

But still, that's not even two weeks.

[ukan]

I don't suppose anyone but you has voiced any ideas as far as consequences go.

[skitter]

Actually.

Steve Rogers contacted me about the same time you did. I don't know him, but he sounds fed up with it all too.

[ukan]

[He's usually very careful, very measured with his reactions. But that seems to have surprised him out of that and made his day. His year, even.]

Steve did? What did he say?

[skitter]

That he also agrees with me on the topic of consequence, and that the Admiral's not likely to listen. Sounds on the jaded side.

[ukan]

He has reason to be. I'm hoping to give him reasons to be less so.

Did you two come up with specific ideas?
