Edgeworth. Good to hear from you. What can I do for you?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Tell me whether or not this would be possible: putting some sort of tracker on a pair of communications devices so that when they get within a certain distance of one another, a ping is sent to security.

We have a set of individuals who seem to be incapable of not trying to murder one another whenever they're in the same room. I'd like to know when they're in the same room.

[voice]

[cargojet]

It could be done easily. The shuttle bay has a proximity alarm installed that pings them on entry, and we have all sorts of alerts set up...

I can put someone on it. When would you need it?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

As soon as humanly possible.

[voice]

[cargojet]

You got the comms numbers for me to work with?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

012-158, 012-187, and 014-061.

[voice]

[cargojet]

I got it. I'll tell you when I got something for you.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Thank you, Petrelli. I'm once again in your debt.

[voice]

[cargojet]

You and I both know that's not how this works. Interoffice cooperation, you know.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

...Right. Well. Then - you've done your job well.

[There's no higher compliment in Edgeworth-speak.]

[voice]

[cargojet]

[ He understands. ]

Sure thing. I'm gonna put Tosh on this, let me know it goes.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Right.

Well timed, if you think it's a coincidence.

Maybe something else... Something leaking over from another reality--I don't know. I wouldn't put anything past it.

[It's a young man's voice, low and smooth; Nathan has heard it before.]

Mr. Petrelli, this is Ryuuzaki -- I assisted with Communications during the downtime a few weeks back. I've been meaning to speak to you about continuing with that work.

[OOC: I've been sick, and my original intention was to reply a little late to Nathan's post a few weeks ago. But then Tosh's post went up, with material in it indicating that this hadn't been taken care of (because it hadn't!), and I didn't want to cause a continuity issue for anyone, and I've been hiatused since then. So I assume that this can take place any time between Tosh's post going up and today: whatever wouldn't throw off anyone else! Sorry about that.]

You were a great asset to us back then, and I for one would be appreciative of the continued help. Not to mention you've already gone through basic clearance.

You can start any time, just make sure you register properly. You'll get a security upgrade to your nanotech.

[triedtobe]

So people are walking through your dreams now, Nathan?

call;

[cargojet]

It's a thing that happened.

You seem awfully interested in something that happened months ago.

[ It actually sounds like he might be hiding something for once. ]

call;

[triedtobe]

And you seem way too interested in making it sound like it's not all that important.

Want to prove me wrong?

call;

[cargojet]

What do you want me to tell you Pete? It happened, it was no big deal.

[ Still not buying it, huh? ]

We were all trapped inside our nightmares. Wanted to make us lose all hope. It's not exactly a story I like recanting.

call;

[triedtobe]

[ Yeah, but see, that's not how this is going to work. Nathan can't just have things happen that fill people in on his life without Peter's consent. This is not okay, at least according to Peter. ]

But what did it have to do with me?

call;

[cargojet]

In the nightmare...

[ Nathan inhales, sighs. ]

In the nightmare, New York city started off, you know--there. It made you want to jump off rooftops, chased you up there, you know, and made it so there was nowhere else to go.

And then... Then the whole thing just exploded. That's what it has to do with you.

call;

[triedtobe]

[ That's every kind of the last possible thing Peter wanted to hear about and yet, somehow, he's not all that surprised by it either. That doesn't make it any more pleasant, however. ]

How many people saw it?

call;

[cargojet]

Three, maybe four, not including me.

[ A long pause. ]

I ended up wandering the streets after going crazy. And I dug, Pete. I dug in the asphalt, dug up my own grave and found a bomb in there. Went right down to point oh seven of a second and stopped.

call;

[triedtobe]

Because you stopped it.

[ He still gives him that much. Which is something more than nothing. ]

call;

[cargojet]

[ Harder. ] It was a reminder of how close I came, Pete. It was punishment.
