"I was going to wake her anyway. I also needed to see about planning a slightly more involved bit of recovery work than usual. Have you ever heard of the<em>Thousand Spines of Winter</em>?" If Athena says yes, Barlow goes into detail a bit more about how it was one of the last and rarest work of a Chinese production studio, and built almost entirely on the remains of their earlier 408 episode epic<em>Thousand Cranes of Autumn</em>. It's basically<em>Who Goes There?</em>as a space horror story instead of a small Antarctic horror story.<br/><br/>Regardless of getting that little bit of animated explanation, somebody stole the theatre's fancy box copy of it and several digitized personal effects related to a dead friend of Barlow's and so Barlow is getting it back with interest for once.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, his source can't get back with an answer. Shibusawa's current best killer noticed the spy drone and destroyed it. The person that was operating the drone also suggests that she was probably coming back from a kill, sending feed. According to Barlow, the girl does seem to be actively looking for things that could be spying on her just before the drone takes a lowly explosive bullet to the face.
