It may still take a while, but we both know she isn't the sort to give up easily.

I'm certain your arrival will only inspire her further. Hmph, it might even be like old times.

Is there anyone else from Prospero here? Or is it just you two. [Give him a second as he sorts out his dignity to start walking.]

Just the three of us at the moment. I don't suppose you have any news of import beyond Nakagawa's departure from that place?

Not...really. [Gaignun looks away for a moment, trying to think.] The last bit, much of it is a blur. I think a lot of people had left and any organization we had was in shambles.

That matches what I remember...so it seems we're from roughly the same point in time. Either that, or nobody managed to accomplish anything after Nakagawa left. A pity, I was hoping things there might have been resolved before fate saw fit to bring you here.

[Gaignun shook his head, though this extra puffy hair was starting to bother him]

I'm afraid not. It just started going in circles, going no where.

We lost far too many of our most effective investigators. At the very least, perhaps the rate of disappearance is an indication that Prospero was losing its grip on us.

I think...[Gaignun looked up at the sky] I think something in it just gave up whatever it was doing.

Likely for the best. As much as I desire the truth of the reason for our arrival there, the highest priority was always putting an end to the abductions.

Indeed. But you know? I'm actually somewhat grateful for that place. It was nice knowing what it was like being just some average human walking down the street.

Hmm...I suppose I owe Paschar a certain amount of gratitude as well. However, I would be quite content had certain moon effects not occurred.

What, lost your taste for oatmeal raisin cookies Margulis?

Very funny. I never would have chosen to display such an immature period of my life. And I'm certain you weren't spared that unfortunate rumors event.

*His ears go flat. That event hit a nerve.*

Someone decided it was a good idea to have a rumor put out about me wanting to learn the banjo.

[He saw that ear flattening, and this admission was to silently apologize for that]

*He's laughing at you, Gaignun.*

A pity I missed that.

[Well, mission accomplished at least]

I'm glad you missed that. You're mean enough to have taken a very deep advantage of it.

Now Kukai, surely you don't think I would waste such valuable blackmail material by casually abusing the information?

Depending on what suited your current needs Margulis? But enough of that. [He could feel himself falling into old snippish habits and he wanted to stay out of that right now.]

Besides, I'm sure you have other equally hilarious blackmail material about me.

I might have caught wind of a few interesting stories circulating among the fools in the Federation...but I'll admit freely that most of the information I had on you was a threat to things other than simple dignity.

[Gaignun nodded, knowing what Margulis was referring to]

To be honest, I'm glad you kept it to things that could be proven false instead of the true things you knew.

Even the Foundation was of some benefit to me, if only for the hassle you gave to the Federation government. You made quite the effective scapegoat from time to time...not to mention the perfect tool against that old lunatic, Sergius.

*Playing your enemies against each other is fun.*

[Gaignun rolled his eyes] He must have been even worse for your side then he was for mine.

His warmongering ways and abuse of the Zohar nearly cost us everything. He was a traitor to our true ideals and only managed to further cement general mistrust of the Immigrant Fleet. A greed-filled fool like himself never should have been granted a position of power in the first place.

From the few times I was included in those council meetings, I have to say I agree with you.

[Sergius was also a big reason why the Foundation did a huge push to get the Zohars first, though it probably would have happened with a more moderate Primarch too]

Well, wonders never cease for us to be in agreement. I suppose some things are simply so evident that even we can't argue about them.
