MENTAL LINK.

[batmotif]

[Though it may be the first time that Bruce has reached out to everyone mentally, there’s no hesitation in how quickly his voice permeates in other hosts’ heads. As with most things, the man gets right to it — besides, this isn’t exactly being done for the sake of pleasantries.

Straight to business then:]

(If you’ve been paying attention, you’d know that Public Security Commissioner Seong-Hye Ngozi has been hiding something. I plan on visiting her office to find out exactly what that is.)

[Images of the office building itself filters through the link, the fruit of prior research and reconnaissance. And the implication is more than clear that this isn’t exactly going to be a scheduled office visit.]

(I’ll need distractions outside of the Public Security offices. Only volunteer if you’re confident that you know what you’re doing.)

[He’s sure questions are on their way, but he’s not willing to entertain them preemptively. Thus, his words end there.]

((ooc; this is the post for your character to ICly offer themselves to help with the break-in plot. (As detailed here.) Note that while Bruce might not find everyone’s credentials compelling, that won’t stop your character from coordinating with others if they want. He's not your supervisor!!!

Therefore, threadjacking is highly encouraged so all characters can sort out their plotting together!)

( This mission is actually going somewhere. The discussions here are worthwhile. It benefits no one if a busybody decides to shout everyone down again. )

[adamance]

( So, you do care that I opposed the previous plan. )

[Lexa is shouting down no one. But she does see the inherent flaws in this plan, ones that are latent in part because she's seen how the Nest works. Perhaps it will function better, but given that there's an argument at hand elsewhere, she's not convinced.]

[snaphiss]

( I care that you made any kind of organization between us impossible. )

[adamance]

( I was speaking with Bruce. He knows my concerns with our past infiltration. )

[From her perspective, this is a matter of shifting blame.]

[snaphiss]

( I'm not getting into this again. In the future, when you have a problem with something that's being done, offer solutions, or come up with your own plan. I'm sick of hearing your voice in my head doing nothing but complaining. )

[adamance]

[Is it possible to be smug via the mental link? Well, Lexa has had enough time to hone the skill.]

( Many things in motion are in place because of my actions and decisions. My complaints don't come from a place of complaining for no reason.

Discuss my solutions with Bruce. ) [AKA she got there.]

[snaphiss]

[She can feel the smugness and it's so annoying.]

( Oh, believe me, I can't wait to discuss your ideas. )

( It's been a pleasure, Lexa of Trikru. )

[adamance]

[What goes away first: that smug sense of superiority, or the link itself? It might be hard to tell, but Lexa certainly has no need to continue this conversation.]
