MLOC: OH MY GOODNESS. CATASTROPHES WAIT-

TC: What is it?

MLOC: I JUST REALIZED HOW TERRIBLE OF AN IDEA THIS IS.

MLOC: PLEASE DON’T MESSAGE HORIZON OF SULFUR’S PEOPLE.

MLOC: EVEN IF THEY TELL THE TRUTH!

TC: Wait Why?

MLOC: I said it before, but we can’t have anybody knowing that we’re onto Sulfur, asking anything about him is a really suspicious move! The amount of danger we might put ourselves in from getting into this would be disasterous.

TC: The Message was Already sent though. I don’t have any other reason to be Contacting his House either.

MLOC: Oh no-

MLOC: Please, I am begging you, do not tell them anything. Don’t mess this up.

: Why are you asking us.

TC: My Supervisor has been Unavaliable for some time.

: Ah, we planned to construct more Iterators. However, Open Waters is… below our expectations, and the amount of resources used for the construction is not worth the risk of another sub-par iterator.

TC: Isn’t that Rude to say about it- her?

: We’re more than sure she already knows this.

TC: Of course. Yes. I’m sorry for Wasting your time then. Goodbye.

: Bye.

MLOC: …”Her”?

TC: Yes.

MLOC: I’m missing something here. I don’t keep up with Open Waters very much. It… or she… doesn’t really talk to me much.

TC: Unending Canvas, An Intermediate Storm- and I Assume all of the House of Bells- Refer to Waters as “she”. It doesn’t like this However. I don’t want to get in Trouble for Referring to Open Waters in a way that they Don’t like, so… uh.

MLOC: Oh. Are its supervisors that bad?

TC: Supervisor. Singular.

MLOC: You haven’t done anything about it?

TC: Technically I’m not Open Waters’ Overseer any longer. That and… what am I Supposed to do?

MLOC: …

MLOC: Whatever. I won’t give you advice you won’t listen to.
