Scene Two: Act Five [Text- Filtered to Rocket Frequencies]

[tickleironysjudgment]

I must apologize for the tone of my last network transmission. To all of you who responded, I thank you for your concerns. I am slowly recovering from the injuries I sustained, as such my research has been delayed.

To those involved, expect a report on the project within the week.

I owe you a debt of gratitude for your care, my friend. If you have some time later, would you join me in town? I happen to know of a very good cafe and I would like to continue our earlier conversations.

I take it your exploits into those elemental powers didn't go so well?

Unfortunately, it appears not. I was not one of the mutated but I did oversee some research unto the mutations. The theory is sound, but the rough nature of the project left much room for refining.

[[That makes Kato chuckle softly as he leans back in his chair, admiring the view of the seaside out his window.]]

Why do you think I refused to participate? No one involved with that fiasco appears to have escaped unscathed.

Have faith, however; I have something planned that might cheer you up.

Perhaps it is presumptuous of me, however I was involved in a side-project and had been observing the outbreak from several outlets to collect data. Given that I cannot recall seeing any information about you, and that you have been involved heavily in research as I have, I believed you absent from the voluntary and involuntary sides of the research project.

My apologies either way. And...something planned? Dare I ask?
