We'll be available to you for the duration of your time on the Station, but the next time you leave here it will be in the name of real service. Avera 9 was merely an outing organized by The Prince and us for your benefit; when you go to do proper work, we will have to stay here.
[There is a hum from her, a crawling sensation across the link between them. It is an unpleasant reality - though traveling with them might mean superior numbers, better mission results simply due to hers and the Prince's experience, the consensus can't deny the danger of it. As they are the only ones capable of operating the Station at this time, of overseeing the hatch of new hosts, to accompany them would be a ludicrous risk - utterly unjustifiable.]
We hope it won't be for many cycles yet, but can guarantee nothing. However, it's unlikely you'll be wholly alone wherever you go. If it's a difficult situation, it may come to pass that there are other agents on the ground with you.

[ More sobering information. The humming between them is like an itch, he presses back against it almost unconsciously. ]
Other agents, from other Stations? [ Has she been to other Stations? ]

[There, a small barrier in him. She feels it like a gauzy cloth stretched between them, all the light of him coming through the weft of it but a layer of remove nonetheless.]
We believe so. This is, after all, Station number seventy-two.

( I'm about to do something that'll be really loud and probably not fun for you guys. Just a warning, probably want to block me out the next few hours. )
[Long time, no talk, Steve! This is a very important mental message from your favorite shapeshifter buddy. SO important.]
Knock knock.
Knock knock.
[ you're a shapeshifter ???? ]
( Who's there? )

( I'm trying something that'll probably be really unpleasant on the brain link thing, so I'm just giving you a warning on it. )
[ He got that part. ]
( What are you doing? )

( Kind of hard to explain. Practicing my ability. ) [ not what he's doing it for, but he doesn't want to sound as ridiculous as "I'm trying to turn on my prophet power" does. ] ( Kind of makes my mind flood with... everything. So, it'll be loud. )
[ A moment of static. ]
( Okay. )
[ There's an echo behind that word, curiosity, but he'd rather ask later - in person.
The connection shudders and begins shrinking down to a pin point. ]

( Okay. Have a good night, buddy. Talk to you later. )
[ in person, probably. this was sort of a quick decision, so the message was shot out fast. but with that, he lets steve's consciousness go, feeling it seal off from him. good. ]

[steve you were there during the whole ship heist you should pay attention next time to his awesome shapeshifting!!]
Doris.
Doris.
( Doris who? )
Doris locked, that's why I'm knocking!

[ somewhere in the station he's probably grinning a bit ]
[ A flicker of confusion, then quiet. An image comes into focus - a small, closet of a room, just enough space for a small cot and a mat on the floor. ]
( My friend arrived from the Station. ) [ By friend there's an understanding that he means from home, back on his Earth. ]
( He can't stay at the Bearings. ) [ Can't might be interchanged with won't. ]

[ Contemplation, letting her mind take in all the context of this response, the suggestion of a thread that leads to another Host, one whose mind flows in strange patterns, strange noises. The pain that strangeness causes her broodmate. ]
( Your friend is not well. )
[ Is that too blunt? She wouldn't know. ]
( Will you be alright? )
( Your friend is not well. )
[ Is that too blunt? She wouldn't know. ]

( I know )
[ With anyone else he might've been defensive over the suggestion that there's something wrong with Bucky. With Ilde there's none of that, only weary acknowledgement. He doesn't believe his friend's a danger to anyone in the Nest, not directly, but there are consequences for their actions - and Bucky's have tended toward violent. ]
( I will. ) [ He's going to try to coax Bucky back to the Bearings, it's just going to take some time. ]

[ She tries to keep the tone of that very neutral, not attempting to suggest Steve is incapable, merely sticking to the agreement the brood had made about not handling everything alone... ]
( I could bring you dinner, one evening. )
[She's gotta feed her plants, man. ]

( Sam came by. )
[ There's a wisp of humor to the next part. ]
( Might be better if I stop by the Bearings to eat instead. I'll be around tomorrow. )
[ His current accommodations are... small. ]
