[The voice that comes through, hours after the second attack, extremely abruptly, is heavily tinged with panic; but also nigh incomprehensible at first.

But slowly, Gil's voice comes into focus.]

In a Gemini Tower where she keeps her lab, I suspect, or so I have been told she does. I am currently elsewhere in one, playing bodyguard to Alcuin's Infiltration.

Are those numbers the binary I have been told of? But how do they equate to words?

[breakaleginhalf]

Ah. That makes sense.

Is this the enjoyable kind of being tied to a table or do you need someone to secure your release?

[breakaleginhalf]

[So not the enjoyable kind of being tied to a table.]

How did you get there? Do you know?

Indeed. I did not think she was in the habit of strapping men to tables.

[Pain flashes through the connection, here and gone again in an instant.]

[youandyoualone]

[Thank you for livestreaming your pain at him, Gil. Not.]

Are you quite sure you don't need rescue?

[breakaleginhalf]

[Look he's not trying to.]

[youandyoualone]

All right. But tell me if you find yourself needing aid after all.
