1. Did you get rid of the body?
2. Do you have an alibi?
3. I have a very tender bedside manner, if that matters.

Honeybear?
Light of my life?
I don't actually know where you are, rumours of my omniscience have been greatly exaggerated.

So for future reference, it is very difficult trying to text and stab things in the face at the same time.
Now where were we..? Honeybear? -ah, I'm out in the woods. Bad news is, saw about three more. Good news, I got 'em. Uuuh bad news part two? I really have no idea how many might've crawled out of that hole but I'm on the job!

You know, I've heard that before.
What were they doing? Can they be herded? I'm prepared to burn this whole place to the ground. You still haven't told me if you're okay.

Well, one of them tried to attack my face and the other two were um. Having a fling? I'm no bug expert but maybe it's the season for that kinda thing.
I am right there with you on the burning thing. Also, I'm fine, relatively goo-free.

Do bugs do that?
[Very long silence.]
We're going to have to plug the hole. Singular, I don't care what holes they're plugging. Is this our fault, do we feel bad about this?

They sure looked like they were doing something! And I wasn't going to watch and make sure!
-what? No, this is... This is totally not our fault because so far as we know they'd sneak up here and do the same thing either way. We just happened to figure out where they came from. Worked backwards. Yeah.
So. Not our fault!

Nature taking its course. We're basically heroes, we already know the source.
[This isn't really helping, he still feels pretty bad.]
It could be vacuum sealed, only the one exit.
[87% confident was good odds, anyway.]
Or a ring of salt. Is that just slugs and demons? A big trap, poison the colony.
[Now he's talking to himself.]

[Totally nodding over here, forgetting for the moment that it's only audio. Oh yeah. Big damn heroes.]
Yep.
I was thinking more we just torch it.
[Boy he sure hopes there's only one opening to that thing or torching it might just force more of the bugs to emerge.]
Salt? Yeah, I don't think that'll work. Maybe if I find another one I should chuck it in the ocean and see- there's an ocean here, right?

I know there's a beach....
[Whether that means ocean is anyone's guess. Another thing for the list.]
I bet with the right diet, we could make them pop.

What, are we keeping one now? I think I'll stick to knifing them. I'm trying to conserve bullets- now that's something I'd never thought I'd ever say. This place is going to drive me crazy.
Leave your girl with me for the night, I'll treat her right.
[Not an offer he would have made before the bug encounter, but it's not weapon production if it's pest control.]

You mean my Ace?
...
[There's a lot said in that hesitation. He loves this gun. But his usual gunsmith's not here and in some weird way he's come to trust Tony.]
...all right. I want her back same as I leave her, you hear?

This is a mass text message for all those listed on the Bloodsport. Kyle had the possible idea that altitude may make the difference in being able to see more of the mysterious blinking light. To that end, we're looking for the pilot of the Bloodsport. Or failing that, the captain.
Take it from me, mysterious blinking lights are a major headache.
Has anyone else told you yet that we need mommy and daddy's permission to take the ships out? Unfortunately, we're grounded, pilot or no pilot. That's the bad news.
This one could go either way, but we don't have a Captain, either. At least, no one's told me. You get back to me on that one.
The good news, and you're really going to like this, is that I can get you some altitude anyway, if you're really curious. I've got room for one, as long as you're not as dense as the Uptown at rush hour.

It doesn't look like the light is interested in playing along. It's difficult to...perceive. At any height.
This one only showed up when the last one went out. And why exactly the last one went out, well, I haven't really figured that out yet. It's still there, a big tower north of the city if you want to satisfy your curiosity.

They're not unrelated, so there might be a clue there, but the old one was hard enough to parse.
I don't know if anyone's gone out there since it went out. I have some video of it, too, if you like. It had a control room nearby, with a display that must have been a countdown clock.
What's your alien reverse engineering skill like?

That'll slow you down. Don't worry, we'll have you making your own rockets in no time, sweetheart. Do you want to be Captain? Position's vacant. Trial by fire.
