Inaara looked at him and nodded.<span style="color: #a64dff">"we will have to talk to him to get to the root of it but he is afraid of his powers so he pretends he doesn't have any so no one asks him to use them."</span>she frowned and looked back.<span style="color: #a64dff">"the boy back there is very attuned to his senses, he detected my sisters within my staff and fears me."</span>she looked at her staff and sighed sadly.<span style="color: #a64dff"> "for the record they were trying to kill each other and accidentally killed my first born child... i promised them they would suffer for as long as i live with the pain they inflicted."</span><br/><br/>"ah, wonderful. i will do my best to use what you teach me to further augment my equipment." he looked at the items and took them, looking into the pitri dish and then set it beside the microscope. "of course, i may have seen it already i will have to look and see what it is and check it against my earlier work. i doubt any one of these organisms would be so interesting as to fill a whole tome but i can also organize and fill the other pages with my earlier work so that you have a concise and succinct report on all i have already done."<br/><br/><span style="color: #ff4d4d">"it wasn't what she asked me to do it was how she phrased it. her asking me for sexual favors for someone else was bad enough but she... she made me feel like an object she could just hand to you and that my feelings on the matter were utterly irrelevant."</span>she shook her head and frowned.<span style="color: #ff4d4d"> "no, it is, you were on the fence and as your friend i encouraged you and it was a disaster."</span>she smiled brightly but there was still that vindictive streak as she stood up.<span style="color: #ff4d4d"> "wonderful."</span>she walked over still carrying her wine glass and bottle, looped one arm through his and headed off.<span style="color: #ff4d4d">"first stop Animus' office."</span>she lead him to the machine's office which was always manned by her drones and employees.<span style="color: #ff4d4d"> "Animus, don't speak to me i am still angry with you but i know a way you can make it up to me. i need some bodies to audit the newspaper and the whole life of that reporter cunt who humiliated my friend. i will meet however many you send at the front door to the building, i am going to fetch a warrant and ten of the city guard... i want this treated like a major investigation and i want every copper and piece of paper work triple checked, i want them begging us to leave them alone."</span>she grinned and headed off to the legal office and had the proper papers drawn up for two full 'random' audits and sealed them herself. that done they were off to Valeen who was actually in the temple for once and begrudgingly agreed to her sister's vengeance plot and assigned her the men she asked for. that done they could head for the newspaper offices.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
