[In theory, Sio was trying to just think this at Hijikata, but she's kind of bad at the focus thing when she's actually freaking out a bit. So. Hi everyone.]


H-Hijikata-sama... I'm in Greengard with Souji-san. Your Souji-san. A-and think we've got a problem...

Something's really really wrong with him. He's acting super weird, um, I mean, more weird than before, and scary, I mean, different-scary... we're here with Fang-san and we're in this spooky forest and I don't know why he wanted us to come here but I think there's zombie unicorns and that's kind of freaking me out.

I know he's an Infiltrator now b-but... do we... do anything?

[Oh. He was there too, wasn't he? Maker...]

Stay calm. Try to keep him calm too, if you can. This must be very difficult for him--

[Being rational isn't going to keep something horrible from happening, though.]

Why not suggest stopping for a bit, taking a break from your expedition, until one of us comes to find you?

[moredakka]

N-no, he is calm, just this... really creepy kind of calm?

[She's really not good at this you guys. In fact, this is what she is least good at, figuring out what people are about and what they're doing and whether they're going to turn into crazy stabbing machines.]

I think he's looking for something. Um. Are you guys coming from Liminal Space? Quickly?

[Please god let it be quickly let this be someone else's problem.]

[unabatedly]

[Oh, that's even worse.]

Garrett and I are on our way. Sit tight, all right? We'll try to get there as quickly as we may.

Hijikata-san is coming too, and, I think others... um, Neria-san, this is a lot of people for just one guy...

[By which she means, what makes this one guy so much of a problem?]

[unabatedly]

[To lie? Sio deserves the truth, this she knows. But she doesn't want her to lose her cool before backup can arrive.]

Souji is important in this. And if something is wrong with him, we need to know what it is...and we need to solve it quickly.
