Walkabout

Need some backup. Hatchery kitchen loading dock, quick as somebody can get here. Bonus points if you're doin' security.

[Because Shinji has just enough network skill to bully it into sending a picture despite the lockdown, this is accompanied by a quick livestream of a trash bin with a snoozing baby dragon in it. He doesn't say anything aloud, though.]

I'll try to keep the bastard here as long as I can.

Stakes ain't as high this time. You can't beat yourself up for someone else being a good actor.

I can when acting is half of my thing and seeing through deception is the other half. I need to start, you know, using my skills some time.

Then use the skills you got instead of diggin' around for new ones. [Especially when the new ones in question are heavy-duty mind reading. Helios, for one, would not have appreciated the intrusion, and he might have actually noticed it.]

It ain't your fault if you miss something you weren't actively lookin' for. Even then some people are better at covering shit up than others. If someone has literally everybody fooled, you're not droppin' the ball for missing it yourself.
